Jurlique Moisturising Hand Sanitiser Review

Back when I was doing my Masters, we would spend 1 day a week working with non human primates...yep, that's right; monkeys. It was amazing, they are amazing, but that's not what I'm posting about. You see, every time we worked with monkeys we would have to sanitize our hands. Common sense? yes. Nice on the hands? Not so much (but it was worth it).

Fast forward 3 years and I have discovered Jurlique's lovely hand sanitiser. It's most amazing features are that (1) it doesn't dry your skin out and (2)  it doesn't leave your hands smelling of antifreeze or a lady version of lynx. The product claims to eliminate 99.9% of germs in as little as 30 seconds.

These days I don't frequent monkeys (sadly) but I do help out at a friend's farm and I volunteer at a charity shop whenever they need an extra pair of hands - if you saw some of the stuff that people send in you would be grabbing for the nearest bottle of sanitiser.

So, back to Jurlique's sanitiser: it's lightly scented with lemon balm, however, there are a lot of other essential oils and extracts in the product. The smell is not overpowering, to the extent that a migraine sufferer that volunteers with me who is triggered by scented products now carries this product around in her handbag.

This has become our recommended sanitiser; nice on the skin, natural ingredients, and lightly lemony.

Have you tried Jurlique's sanitiser? what did you think?
