# Antimicrobial Hand Lotions This Antibacterial Lotion from Saje Keeps Hands Soft and Clean By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-02-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibacterial-lotion References: [saje](http://saje.ca/catalog/product/view/id/853/) While there are many soaps, sprays and hand washes that are sold for their antimicrobial properties, 'Safe Hands' is an [antibacterial lotion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-sanitizer-serum) from Saje that does more than just kill bacteria on the spot. The all-natural hand sanitizing solution takes the form of a lotion, which hydrates hands rather than drying them out, as many antibacterial agents tend to do. The [fragrant lotion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfumeinspired-hand-sanitizers) has a creamy base of shea butter, aloe vera, mango butter and more that's combined with medicinal antimicrobial ingredients like the essential oils of lavender, patchouli, tea tree and thyme. Because the sanitizing hand care product uses [natural antiseptic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholfree-body-mist) and antiseptic ingredients to kill bacteria, it will not strip away the skin's natural oils or the good bacteria that are essential to the maintenance of a healthy body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Antimicrobial Hand Lotions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating antimicrobial hand lotions that hydrate the skin. - **All-natural Hand Sanitizing Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing all-natural hand sanitizers that use medicinal antimicrobial ingredients. - **Skin-friendly Antibacterial Agents:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in formulating antibacterial lotions that do not dry out the skin or strip away natural oils. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Care Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation within the personal care products industry to create antimicrobial hand lotions. - **Natural Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the natural health and wellness industry by developing all-natural hand sanitizing solutions. - **Skincare:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the skincare industry to create antibacterial lotions that are gentle on the skin. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skin-Caring Hand Sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchlands-gentle-mist.md) - [Bio-Based Moisturizing Hand Sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gojo.md) - [Antimicrobial Skin Cleansers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solution-by-magic-molecule.md) - [Skincare-Forward Hand Sanitizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-999-hydrating-hand-sanitizer.md) - [Luxurious Hand Lotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-hand-lotion.md) - [Hand Sanitizer Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-sanitizer-serum.md) - [Antimicrobial Fabric Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/febreze-fabric-antimicrobial.md) - [Anti-Bacterial Hair Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-care-line-that-uses-natural-and-antimicrobial-ingredients.md) - [Sweat Absorbing Hand Lotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweat-absorbing-hand-lotion.md)
