Natural hand sanitizers?
I'm a big user of hand sanitizers...I know, I know, bad for good bacteria, I'm creating super germs.
My daughter like most kids love to touch everything.
I would love to put some hand sanitizer on her hands once in awhile but she has pretty bad skin/ezcema.
Is there an alternative I can use?
I mean when we're out and not near a bathroom so I can't wash her hands with soap and water
Thanks

We had Honest hand sanitizer in situations like after Treetop, for example... where it’s a total germ zone and a wipe won’t cut it. I have eczema and I find it fine on my hands, though I only put it on my palms..

I use Thieves Hand Sanitizer...when they were little and out their hands in their mouths a lot, I used babyganics foaming sanitizer if I needed to. Now I use the Thieves on everyone when we need it.

Honestly, unless it's made with alcohol, I wouldn't trust it. Alcohol is what kills most germs. That benzo stuff in a lot of hand sanitizers doesn't kill the norovirus (stomach virus). If you can't use hand sanitizer, I would just make it a point to not let her eat unless you are near a bathroom and can wash hands prior to.

Yep. This is 100% right.
I have eczema. Alcohol hurts... but it’s the only thing that works. Try keeping it out of eczema zones!

Thats what I was afraid of.
Her hands are constantly cracked so the alcohol hurts her a lot so I never use it on her.
