The autumn and winter seasons are the seasons for the high incidence of influenza. In addition to vaccinating the baby in time, daily protection is also indispensable. The most effective but simplest protection is to urge your baby勤洗手, especially when returning home from a crowded public place, everyone should develop the good habit of washing hands first.
In addition to washing with clean water, the baby's hands are often stained with dirt, such as paint stains. Pen stains, mud stains on playing with plasticine, sand particles on playing with sand, etc., so hand sanitizer can be regarded as a daily necessities for families with children.
However, there are many baby hand sanitizers on the market, some of which have natural promotional ingredients, and some say they are mild and not hurt. Hand, and some say antibacterial and antibacterial, but I carefully checked the ingredient list, but found that it was marked with forbidden ingredients, such as triclosan (the US FDA has a ban); plus baby The skin is delicate and tender. If you use the hand sanitizer of alkaline special large , you will have dry and itchy skin on your hands.
Actually in my mind, a qualified baby hand sanitizer must meet the following three requirements:
1. The ingredients are safe and do not contain banned and Risk substances
2. Good decontamination effect
3. Mild and not hurting hands, pH value is close to baby's skin pH
So this time I will examine 13款baby hand sanitizer from these three dimensions. These hand sanitizers are collected from our mother group. I also compared the online sales. They are indeed very large sales.
(If you want to know the name of the hand sanitizer, you can reply "baby hand sanitizer" in the background dialog box and you will receive it)
of 13 baby hand sanitizers, 3 of them are liquid and the other 10 are foam.

4 No., No. 3, No. 8, and No. 12 contain MITPart 1ed4#926a4d9#
When it comes to hand sanitizer, it is essentially the same as the general daily chemical cleaning products. It relies on mechanical friction and surface active agent , combined with water flow to to remove hands The dirt and attached bacteria .
But the hand sanitizer for babies needs more consideration. is mild and non-irritating, and contains little or no risk substances (toxic preservatives, allergenic fragrances, etc.).
risk ingredient
c5a0e4#04eda#588 surface agent#
Need to pay attention to SLS and SLES, these two ingredients are very common in daily chemical products (shampoo, shower gel, laundry detergent, etc.), but they are actually very irritating to babies and will destroy The oil layer on the surface of the baby's skin, the little hands are washed, the drier.
This time it was found that No. 1, No. 3, No. 8, No. 9, and No. 12 contained these two kinds of surfactant ingredients, and their rankings were relatively high. The front indicates that the content is not low.
2. Sterilization/antiseptic
We talked about it when we evaluated in disposable hand sanitizer. The content is generally not high (for example, 0.1% of benzalkonium chloride is enough for sterilization), but you need to choose high-safety ingredients. It should be noted that 三氯生 and methylisothiazole (abbreviated as MIT).
Triclosan is an ingredient that has long been banned by the US FDA, while methylisothiazolinone has certain cytotoxicity and its safety is uncertain.
No. 7 and No. 8 contain Triclosan

In addition to these two, you need to pay attention to Chloro-m-xylenol, which is harmful to fish, can enter the human body through the esophagus, causing necrosis of gastrointestinal mucosal cells and imbalance of intestinal flora. The main active ingredient of
10 and 11 is p-chlorom-xylenol .
3. Flavor, alcohol and other stimulating ingredients
4da In addition to the very high content of surfactants and fungicides, we also need to pay attention to stimulating ingredients such as flavors and alcohol. Although the content is generally low, babies are also at risk of allergies.
04a7a7d#4da4#No. 1, No. 3, No. 6, No. 8, No. 12, No. 13 contains 香精, so they all have fragrance.
But due to the addition of plant essential oils and extracts, No. 7, 9, 10, and 11 also have a light fragrance Only No. 2, No. 4, and No. 5 are fragrance-free.
9 contains a certain amount of 醇, but the concentration is unknown, so babies under 3 years old also need to pay attention.
can be seen more clearly.
Moisturizing ingredients
After talking about the risky ingredients, let’s talk about the extra moisturizing ingredients. Most baby hand sanitizers are added with oils and fats derived from plants.
No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, No. 12, No. 13 all contain moisturizing ingredients.
Part 2 Decontamination capabilities04a7da4d#4a#9267#a4d#4f#手液液’s job is to clean and decontaminate. In addition, the baby, a little explorer, often gets dirty hands. The dirt on the skin surface can be washed away with water, but the watercolor pens and markers that are difficult to wash off are true. It's a test of the effectiveness of hand sanitizer.
This time we will simulate the baby's most common small flower hand-painted with a red watercolor pen and a black marker (marker), and use these 13 hand sanitizers to clean and see. Pollution capacity.
The experiment steps are as follows:
1. Press a pump of hand sanitizer 04a
in the palm of the hand#
2. Knead for 30 seconds
3. Rinse with water
4. Check the effect after washing
After all the tests of the 13 hand sanitizers were completed, my palms were not as expected. It is dry and uncomfortable. It seems that the moisturizing and moisturizing ingredients in the baby's hand soap have played a role.
This is a comparison of the results of 13 cleaning models When it comes out, the difference in decontamination ability is still quite big, which can be seen by naked eye cleaning. I took out the very clean and very dirty ones again, so it will be more obvious.
Conclusion:
1, 6, 8, 9 have strong detergency;
04a7dNo. 10, No. 11, No. 12, No. 13 detergency is weak.
Part 3 Gentleness
Sometimes I take melons out, public toilets do not have baby hand sanitizer, and many hand washes The liquid will use a large bucket of hand sanitizer. I will tell me that my hands are itchy when I use it up. At first I thought it was a mosquito bite, but after a closer look, my hands would have a slight redness, indicating that the hand sanitizer is alkaline. Big, irritating the baby's skin.
So on the basis of safe ingredients and good decontamination ability, it is also necessary to examine the gentle and skin-friendly hand sanitizer . This time we use pH test paper to test the acidity of each hand sanitizerAlkalinity.
After testing, it was found that the pH difference was particularly large
pH#
pH The value is between 4.5-7.5, and the baby’s skin itself is weakly acidic (pH between 4.5-6.5), so the pH of the hand sanitizer is relatively weak, and we recommend hand sanitizers with pH ≤ 7 for children. More gentle and non-irritating.
Conclusion:
No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9 are neutral and partial alkalis, not suitable for baby's skin; No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, No. 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are weakly acidic, which is more suitable for babies.
Part 4 Other
In fact, baby hand sanitizer also has a difference in details. You can check it carefully when you choose.
1. The lock/knob design of the pump head
As I mentioned earlier, most In public toilets, there is no special hand sanitizer for babies, so we need to take it out many times. At this time, the convenient pump head design is very convenient. Leaking Liquid Hazard (spread out and make it all in the bag, It's embarrassing).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of these 13 hand sanitizers are designed to leak liquid:
Additional anti-overflow locks: No. 4, No. 5 , 8th, 9th
Rotate to lock: No. 1, No. 2, No. 6, No. 10, No. 11, No. 13
No. 3, No. 7, and No. 12 have no such design.
2. Texture
We also mentioned 3 types of liquid hand soap at the beginning Designed, liquid hand sanitizer needs to be rubbed first, and after sufficient rubbing to produce a stronger cleaning foam, it can achieve the effect of decontamination.
So this is also the reason why most baby hand sanitizers are foamy, so that it will be foamed directly when squeezed out. It is more convenient and saves the time for the baby to rub for a while to get foam.
In the cleaning process, the liquid needs more water to rinse off, while the foam is relatively clean. It is good to rinse , and the foam is visible, so the baby is better to judge whether it is rinsed.
3. Price
You still need to look at the price for just-needed products. A bottle of hand sanitizer can last about 2-3 months if It's great to be good and cheap.
The unit price is 5 (the most expensive per ml) , No. 3 is also more expensive, and No. 1, No. 7, No. 10, and No. 11 are all cheaper.
Comprehensively, I gave each baby hand sanitizer a full score. 10 points, including 5 points for ingredient safety, 3 points for detergency, and 2 points for mildness.
