Zero Waste Hand Wash and Sanitisers
We all use more hand wash now in the post-pandemic era. But it’s good to choose brands that are better for the planet, but still do the job. Also read about reusable and organic cotton face masks.
Green People is an organic skincare brand, which makes nice hand washes in easy-to-recycle sugar-cane packaging. The range includes an unscented version, one with anti-bacterial manuka and tea tree oils, plus foaming hand wash for children.
Choose unscented hand washes for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Keep scented soaps away from babies and pets (due to citrus oils).
Wash Your Hands Properly!
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.
- Cover palms, back of hands, under nails and between fingers.
- Rinse with running water, and dry with a clean towel.

Delphis Eco Hand Soaps & Sanitisers
Delphis Eco makes hand soaps and sanitisers (including in bulk versions) for commercial use. Ideal for offices, councils, schools, hotels and restaurants. Plus it makes small portable non-flammable hand sanitisers that kill more bacteria than most other brands.
In fact, it would be good if the NHS switched to use this brand in all their GP surgeries and hospitals!
