Are your foaming hand soaps safe for COVID19 or other viruses?Updated a year ago

Yes, Tirtyl Hand Soaps are safe to use as part of your routine hand hygiene during the COVID19 pandemic.

We do not claim that our hand soaps kill germs (viruses and bacteria) as anti-bacterial hand soaps contain ingredients that are not yet proven to be safe. Many studies contest the usage of antibacterial soaps, including the FDA. Also check out our blog on the issue.

Instead, our hand soaps contain surfactants which actively lift and remove viruses and bacteria from your hands during a routine wash. Furthermore, the World Health Organization does not distinguish antibacterial from regular hand soaps with the latest guidance issued on managing the COVID19 pandemic.

Whilst we consider our hand soaps to be a safe addition to your home during the COVID19 pandemic (or otherwise), nothing replaces routine hand hygiene. Ensure to wash your hands regularly, and carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on you if you need to wash your hands on-the-go outside home.
