A disinfectant liquid soap (biocide) based on 2% chlorhexidine digluconate, in a 500 ml bottle, designed for hygienic washing of hands, skin and scalp. The manufacturer declares bactericidal, yeasticidal, mycobactericidal and virucidal (enveloped viruses) efficacy, tested according to European standards, plus a residual effect of up to 6 hours on bacteria. It is a natural choice for tattoo studios and salons, where proper hand washing before and after each client is part of the hygiene protocol, but also for clinics, medical offices or household use.
How does this soap differ from a regular liquid soap?▾
It is a biocide product, not just a cosmetic cleansing product: it contains 2% chlorhexidine digluconate and has declared disinfectant efficacy by the manufacturer — bactericidal, yeasticidal, mycobactericidal and virucidal on enveloped viruses — tested according to European standards. A regular soap only mechanically removes dirt; this one cleans and hygienically disinfects in the same step, with a declared residual effect of up to 6 hours on bacteria.
Can I use it for preparing the client's skin before tattooing?▾
Yes, the product is formulated for hygienic cleaning and disinfection of hands, skin and scalp, and washing the work area with a disinfectant soap is a common preparation step before tattooing. Wash the area, rinse well and dry it with a disposable material, then continue your usual preparation protocol. Do not apply it on mucous membranes, around the eyes or on skin with open lesions.
Is it suitable for frequent washing, several times a day?▾
The formula is designed for environments with high hygiene requirements (hospitals, clinics, salons), where repeated washing is the norm, and the manufacturer describes it as gentle on the skin, with emollient agents and pH 6 ± 0.5. As with any very frequent washing, it is good to dry your hands properly after each rinse and, if needed, use a hand cream at the end of the work day.
Does it need to be rinsed off or is it left on the skin like a disinfectant gel?▾
It is used like a soap: apply to wet skin, rub, then rinse with water and dry the skin. It is not a leave-on alcohol-based gel. The difference from a gel is that it actually washes dirt off the skin, and the manufacturer declares that it acts quickly even in the presence of dirt.
Does it stain clothes, towels or studio surfaces?▾
The manufacturer declares that the product does not stain or discolor and leaves no residue after rinsing. It is a viscous, pale yellow, translucent liquid, soluble in water, so accidental splashes are easily removed with water.
How do I store it correctly and how do I avoid contaminating the bottle when using it communally?▾
Keep the bottle closed, protected from sunlight and heat, and respect the expiration date on the label. In the studio, the most hygienic is to use it from a pump dispenser, operated with the back of the hand or elbow, and do not top off — empty and clean the dispenser before refilling. Do not transfer the product into unlabeled containers.
