Sanitizing Hand Creams

Recherché's Protective Recovery Hand Cream Does Not Have a Gel Formula

Within the last few months, brands with the capacity to do so have pivoted to create their own hand sanitizing solutions, resulting in the creation of hundreds of new gel formulas that are packed with protective and skin-soothing benefits. Recherché is now introducing what it calls the world's first anti-viral Sanitising Hand Cream, which helps to address the fact that frequent sanitizing and hand-washing can result in dry and irritated skin.

The revolutionary 2-in-1 sanitizer and hand cream is made with Activated Silver Particulate in place of alcohol and other harsh chemicals. According to the brand, the intensely hydrating and nourishing Protective Recovery Hand Cream "has been independently tested and proven in screening tests to be anti-virally effective against enveloped viruses."
