Does the pH of bacteriostatic hand sanitizer meet the national standard? How should consumers choose the right hand sanitizer? Recently, the test results of a bacteriostatic hand sanitizer have attracted widespread attention. The test results showed that the antibacterial hand sanitizers of Liushen, Yizhimei and Yousong had relatively high pH values, which was more obvious compared to other samples. The pH value of hand sanitizer is clearly specified in the national standard (4.0~10.0). Under normal circumstances, the pH value of the surface of human skin is about 5.0~7.0, which is weakly acidic. Therefore, when buying hand sanitizer, we should choose products with pH values close to the acid-base balance of human skin.
According to the response of relevant companies, Liushen brand antibacterial hand sanitizer products meet national standards and have passed third-party skin stimulation tests, and there is no irritation. The antibacterial hand sanitizer of Yousong brand has a pH of 7.2, which is neutral and will not cause damage to the skin. However, we also need to recognize that the pH of hand sanitizers is only one aspect of product safety. In addition to pH, we should also pay attention to the cleaning properties and other ingredients of hand sanitizer. Therefore, when choosing hand sanitizer, we should consider the above factors comprehensively and choose products with qualified quality. It is worth mentioning that the hand sanitizer market is highly competitive, and many brands are constantly launching new products.
According to Shanghai Jahwa's 2023 interim financial report, the company's net profit in the first half of the year increased by 90.9% year-on-year, but except for the skin care category, the revenue of the remaining three categories declined. This also shows how much consumers value the quality and safety of hand sanitizer. Therefore, as consumers, we should not only pay attention to the antibacterial effect of the product, but also pay attention to the safety and quality of the product when purchasing hand sanitizer. We can select brands that have been third-party tested and certified to ensure that the hand sanitizer we purchase meets the relevant standards. Finally, I would like to ask a question, as a consumer, what factors do you value most when buying hand sanitizer?
