In these times of need, when things are changing around the world on a daily basis, it is important for Reakiro to do what we can to help.

Fighting the spread of Coronavirus is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, and one of the simplest ways to do this is by regularly washing and cleaning our hands — mitigating the potential spread of infection.

In the past month supermarkets, pharmacies, chemists, and drugstores have been trying to deal with the high demand for soap and hand sanitiser. And it’s fair to say people have been washing their hands more than ever before.

However, people have started to comment on the effects this is having on their hands — leaving them dry, sore, cracked — and frankly unrecognisable. What some people don’t know is that the condition of your skin is not just a matter of grooming and beauty, but rather an indicator of how strong your body is to fight off any potential infections.

Our top layer of skin, known as the skin barrier or the lipid layer, is vital to protecting the body from any infection that could penetrate through an open wound. Ensuring that hands are moisturised, nourished, and hydrated will help keep us protected and reduce the risk of infection.

No one should be washing their hands less than they currently are, but it seems inescapable that constant hot water and strong soaps and sanitizers will try out the skin. This is where Reakiro’s innovative Hemp oil hand sanitiser could make a real difference.

In addition to having a 75% alcohol base, which kills 99.9% of germs, the sanitizer contains deeply moisturizing Hemp oil. This means that every time you clean your hands you are also protecting your skin, naturally — reducing the risk of further infection.

This is a crucial time to bring this product into the market, to help people do what they can to slow the spread of infection, without sacrificing their skin.
