Question 1

Why would I need a hand sanitiser?

Accepted Answer

The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that the number one way to prevent the spread of germs is by hand washing. Unfortunately, that is not always convenient. This product does not replace hand washing; but it is the next best thing. Kindr sanitiser's antibacterial and antimicrobial solution kills germs instantly whilst also moisturising the skin, thereby helping to prevent the spread of disease.

Question 2

Why choose Kindr foaming sanitiser?

Accepted Answer

Kindr foaming sanitiser is more effective than alcohol-based products, it is kinder to skin as well as being cheaper per application.  Using Kindr for prolonged amounts of time improves the condition of skin. Unlike alcohol-based alternative which strip the skin of it's natural oils, leaving it dry and sore.

Question 3

Why is alcohol free significant?

Accepted Answer

Various research studies show that alcohol based hand sanitisers can actually increase the number of bacteria on the skin the more they are used. Alcohol is a solvent that strips away oils that are important for water retention, and dries out the skin when it evaporates. This drying effect causes chapping of the skin, creating cracks and crevices where germs may become trapped or hidden.   In addition, alcohol-based products are dangerous as they are extremely flammable and toxic.    Kindr foaming sanitiser is water based making it non-flammable and much kinder on the skin.

Question 4

How can it be effective against COVID-19 without containing alcohol?

Accepted Answer

In the beginning of the pandemic the only testing carried out on Coronavirus and all strains including COVID-19, was using alcohol-based sanitisers which is why the Government set the standard of 60% + alcohol content required to effectively kill the virus.   Since early 2020, so much more testing and development has taken place, including in the alcohol-free formulation used in Kindr which has achieved the British Standard Kite Mark testing to BS EN 14476 proving the solution is effective against all enveloped viruses, of which COVID-19 is one.

Question 5

What viruses is Kindr effective against?

Accepted Answer

Below you can find an inclusive, but not exhausted list of all common viruses which Kindr has been tested effective against.   Coronavirus (e.g. SARS, MERS)  Norovirus  Leukemia Virus (HTLV)Hepatitis B virus (HBV) Measles Virus Poxviridae Herpesviridae Filoviridae (e.g. Ebola, Marburg) Flavivirus Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) Influenza Virus Paramyxoviridae Rubella Virus Rabies Virus

Question 6

Why is alcohol so bad for my skin?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol may strip the skin of the outer layer of oil, which may have negative effects on the barrier function of the skin. Continued use of alcohol gels has been seen to dry out the skin so badly that it cracks and bleeds.   More worryingly, clinical trials are currently underway to test the dangers of viruses entering our bodies through the blood stream.   If it is proven that viruses can enter the body through dry and cracked skin, alcohol sanitisers will have to be banned.

Question 7

Why is 99.999% significant?

Accepted Answer

If a 99.9% effective cleaning product is being used on an area with 1,000,000 bacteria it would leave behind 1000 bacteria once disinfected. As bacteria multiply you could be left with 64,000 bacteria just 2 hours after disinfecting the area.   When a 99.999% effective cleaning product is used only 10 bacteria would be left behind out of the 1,000,000 we began with.  Using the same multiplying factors after 2 hours there would only be 640 bacteria present.

Question 8

How much of the Kindr foaming hand sanitiser needs to be used?

Accepted Answer

An approximate amount of 1-2 squirts, or whatever provides good coverage is sufficient to produce the desired effect. We find that children like to use lots more as they enjoy the foaming effect on their skin.

Question 9

Is Kindr sanitiser safe to use on my children’s hands?

Accepted Answer

Completely safe. Kindr is non-toxic and contains zero alcohol, making it neither dangerous nor flammable unlike alternative alcohol based sanitisers.  The Kindr Company sanitisers patented formula is safe to use on the whole family.

Question 10

Does Kindr foaming hand sanitiser work better with repeated use?

Accepted Answer

In short, yes. Kindr foaming hand sanitiser has been proven to show increased effectiveness with repeated use. This is in contrast to alcohol-based sanitisers which show reduced effectiveness with repeated use. Whereas repeated use of alcohol creates skin crevices that can harbour germs, repeated use of the Kindr foaming hand sanitiser actually improves skin texture, which in turn makes it progressively harder for germs to breed.

Question 11

Will repeated use of Kindr sanitisers soften my skin?

Accepted Answer

Studies show that users have experience softer skin with frequent use of Kindr sanitiser products. Kindr has been scientifically developed and formulated to be highly compatible with the skin. It does not break down the skin's natural barrier, unlike ingredients found in alternative products, but instead complements that barrier. Skin becomes softener with repeated product use, as Kindr rehydrates instead of drying out.
