Alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer gels & sprays are rising in demand. But your sensitive skin might need a more hydrating sanitizing option.
The CDC recommends alcohol-based hand rubs to be at 60-95% alcohol when it comes to sanitizing in health care. More specifically, a sanitizing solution is most optimum at 75% alcohol to kill most common bacteria and viruses.
However, one setback of alcohol hand sanitizers is that they have a drying effect. Therefore, they are not suitable for people who experience sensitive skin issues, such as eczema or contact dermatitis. This is verified by the World Health Organization: they list dryness, irritation, redness, itching and cracking to be an unfortunate side effect of overusing alcohol-based sanitizers.
MEDIKURIN’s HOCl to the rescue!
MEDIKURIN’s water-based Hand Sanitizer Sprays use Hypochlorous Acid to keep your hands germ-free without any drying effects
You could prevent these side effects by applying a layer of moisturizer after a certain amount of uses, but, honestly, switching to a less irritating product is a better option. One good option that’s just as effective as alcohol is MEDIKURIN’s water-based Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Hand Sanitizer Spray!
Produced from electrolyzed water, Hypochlorous Acid is the active ingredient in MEDIKURIN sanitizers and disinfectants. Hypochlorous Acid is also a natural germ-killer that can be found in our very bodies, making it a safe and highly effective antibacterial ingredient.

Make the move from alcohol to Hypochlorous Acid today for a highly effective sanitzing solution that’s non-irritating and contains no synthetic fragrances or preservatives. Here’s what MEDIKURIN’s customers have to say about their experience using our hand sanitizers.
“MEDIKURIN’s Hand Sanitizer Spray contains a mild yet pleasing chlorine scent which I believe was the result of the HOCl (read up more on this, it kills bacteria way better than alcohol). The bottle was big and I will be using it with my family.”
Chun. W, MEDIKURIN Hand Sanitizer Spray user
“It’s difficult to find alcohol-free sanitizers that are still effective in the market. I’m glad I found MEDIKURIN’s Hand Sanitizer Spray… because alcohol-based sanitizers are not suitable to be used at a petrol station, as they are highly flammable.”
Christine. L, MEDIKURIN Hand Sanitizer Spray user
“MEDIKURIN’s Hand Sanitizer Spray is good for me because I need a sanitizer that has no unpleasant fragrances, as my nose and skin are sensitive to synthetic fragrances. Although it does have a hint of chlorine scent, the smell dissipates after a minute or two, leaving no unpleasant smells or stickiness on the hands.”
Eddie C, MEDIKURIN Hand Sanitizer Spray user
