Elyptol launches hand sanitization products in US

Australia based consumer goods company Elyptol has launched its hand hygiene and sanitization products across the US.

All the Elyptol products are said to offer hand hygiene and sanitization as the formula works to reduce germ efficacy and usage frequency.

The products include a range of botanical skin hygiene and hard surface sanitization products that provide infection control and disinfecting, while being effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Elyptol president and CEO Tim O’Connor said: "The Elyptol pure ethanol and eucalyptus oil based formulas provide the highest antimicrobial efficacy while leaving the skin nourished and healthy, which enables usage that is more frequent.

"We are very excited to launch in the USA with our endorsed, environmentally friendly green bio-tech products that avoid competitive toxicities, meet and exceed world standard germ efficacies and transform dermatological outcomes to improve user compliance and usage behavior."

According to the WorldHealth Organization (WHO) and the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), the issue with hand hygiene compliance is skin dryness and irritation resulting in painful hands due to absence of good hygiene behaviour.

Elyptol’s formula includes mixture of pure ethanol, eucalyptus oil and organic moisturising ingredients that are claimed to be efficient in killing bacteria and viruses, while protecting the skin.

The company has launched the formula in gels, wipes, rubs and sprays in North America.
