The global health crisis of Covid-19 has largely reminded us of the interest of cleaning and regularly disinfecting hands to prevent infections and limit the transmission of bacteria and viruses. This convenient, efficient and easily transportable disinfectant solution has been largely democratized since the spring of 2020, worldwide. We find it and use it everywhere: public transport, shops, schools, etc.

A hydro-alcoholic lotion aims to destroy the micro-organisms present on the hands, thus limiting the transmission of certain infections. Its antimicrobial action is proven and superior to that of handwashing with water and antiseptic soap. Surgeons use them regularly in pre-operative.

The Gravier laboratory has made this organic antibacterial hydro alcoholic spray to offer you an effective and immediate solution to sterilization hands after contact with another person or object.

Like any hydro-alcohol solution, this spray contains water and alcohol. It is bio ethanol (or ethyl alcohol) that is the alcoholic part of this product. Its concentration is 70%. It plays the role of active substance to eradicate bacteria.

You will also find in this product the Aloe Vera bio which will bring intense hydration to your skin, glycerin, for better skin application (humectant effect) but also essential organic orange oil that will give a note of citrus especially pleasant to the whole.

When do you use this water spray?
A hydro-alcoholic solution must ideally be within reach in all circumstances. It is all the more important that it is necessary in outward exits, since this is where virus transmission is most likely and the strongest.

Health authorities recommend that you apply it regularly, especially as soon as you visit a public place or building (school, offices, shops, hospitals, etc.). If you take an example of the daily life, it is recommended to use it when you enter a store and then when you get out.

The same applies to public transport. Bus, metro, tram, it is advisable to apply a hydro-alcoholic solution before and after each trip. The proximity to other people and metal bars are among the many factors that can lead to touching places containing viral bacteria. This advice is also valid for taxis as the handles or seats are as many places where the virus can be deposited.

This disinfectant solution is also necessary in many other situations: after a sneeze; after having been grounded; before and after cooking; before and after meeting a sick person; after using public toilets.

Instructions for use
Spray the product into the hollow of the hand (several pressures or about 3 ml), then spread over the hands and gently friction for at least 30 seconds until evaporation. Immediate action. No rinse. Repeat the application as often as necessary. And be careful to use such a product on visibly unclean hands (dries and clean). Better to avoid this spray in case of injury due to its alcoholic component.

But remember...
It should be noted that washing the “classical” hands with water and soap is recommended as long as a drinking water point is available. Because a careful washing of hands with soapy water eliminates the vast majority of micro-organisms, accentuating the slippery properties of our own skin, where hydro-alcoholic gel kills pathogens but leaves them on the skin. It should be added that the use of outward hydro-alcoholic solutions could promote the emergence and proliferation of resistant bacterial strains, which is not the case of soapy water. In the absence of a water point available, however, the use of this water spray is recommended, especially in collective environments (transports in common, public places, etc.).

Penn'Ty Bio tips: 5 mistakes to avoid
- Do not respect the friction time of 30 seconds: a duration necessary to eliminate bacteria present on the hands and to achieve friction zone by zone.

- Use the hydro-alcoholic solution on wet hands: Such a product contains a high proportion of alcohol. And the activity of this substance against bacteria depends on its concentration. However, when this product is used on wet hands (high proportion of water), the effectiveness of alcohol quickly decreases.

- Forget to insist on the nails:Cleaning this area is important because many bacteria can nest under the nails. It is also the reason why it is advisable, in addition to having good hygiene, to cut them regularly: the longer the nails are long, the more they can shelter germs.

- Use only a hydro-alcohol solution: It remains essential to wash your hands when a water point is nearby. Hydro-alcoholic solutions have bactericidal, virucid and fungicide properties, but do not clean properly, unlike water and soap washing. Hydro-alcoholic products can also be used in addition to this method.

- Use a hydro-alcohol solution on animals:these products must obviously never be used on animals. Risks? A contact burn when the product is deposited on the skin of the animal or by ingestion when it licks its coat or even a ethyl coma. As their name suggests, hydro-alcoholic products contain alcohol and can therefore intoxicate animals.
