Vitamin E in Hand Sanitizer: Why It is So Important?

Want the best alcohol hand sanitizer? Select the one with Vitamin E. It eliminates the threat posed by germs and also protects your hands from turning dry and damaged.
Washing your hands regularly with a hand sanitizer is key to avoid bacteria, virus, and microbiomes that spread through hands. The FDA suggests sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol, ethanol or isopropanol, as the most suitable option to keep your hands clean from germs. However, despite their “low-toxic” properties, these alcohol sanitizers cross the skin barrier on your hands.
As you sanitize your hands more and more with alcohol-based sanitizers, the skin on your hands starts to turn dry and irritated. This may make the skin flaky and cracked increasing the risk of infection and inflammation. You need to wash your hand with a gel containing Vitamin E like Derma Hands gel hand sanitizer to avoid this problem.
Here are a few observations by the Derma Hands research team on how adding Vitamin E to a sanitizer helps your hands.

Keeps your hands hydrated and moisturized

As you wash your hands, alcohol permeates the layer below your skin. Alcohol is known for its lipid-dissolving effects. It also reduces the water-binding capacity of the skin above the hands. You find your hands turning dry after cleansing with a sanitizer.
When your hand sanitizer has Vitamin E, it reverses the effects of alcohol on the skin. The ingredient enables a barrier around cells that protects the membrane from alcohol permeation. Being an antioxidant, it helps hand skin fight reactive stress resulted from alcohol-based sanitizers. This keeps the skin above your hands healthy, supple, and hydrated.

Strengthens skin, improves moisturization

Vitamin E in hand sanitizer also improves moisturization of the skin above hands while protecting it from drying. It strengthens the capillary walls of skin cells helping to maintain the skin elasticity. This keeps your hands soft and resilient.

Reverse aging, damage effects

Alcohol hand sanitizers impact the skin elasticity and make it dry. This leads to loosening of the skin above the hands and wrinkles appear. Exposure to UV rays and pollution makes your hands suspectable to further damage. But if you select a hand sanitizer containing Vitamin E, it may help treat the condition. Vitamin E protects collagens and speeds up the regeneration of cells of skin above hands. Your hands look glowing, wrinkle-free, and youthful.

Adds to your hand protection from the sun

Do you know anti-inflammatory Vitamin E helps reduces the UV radiation on your skin? It soothes the skin and improves the natural defense of skin cells. This makes the skin above the hands resistant to redness, swelling, and sensitivity. When it is an essential ingredient in your hand sanitizer, it makes your hands immune to UV damage.

Vitamin E is a healer

A Vitamin E hand sanitizer gives you protection from infection as well as a better hand appearance. It moisturizes the skin, keeps the elasticity intact, and heals any damage. Those with atopic dermatitis also gets relief when using Vitamin E added sanitizers.
