Klintensiv - Hand Disinfectant Gel 500ml

No, it complements hand washing. The practical rule in any professional setting is simple: if hands are visibly dirty — ink, Vaseline, organic residue — wash first with soap and water, dry thoroughly, then apply the gel if needed. If hands look clean, the alcohol-based gel is the quick solution between clients, between work steps, and after removing gloves, because it requires no rinsing and doesn't send you to the sink every time.

Alcohol works through direct contact, so what really matters are the concentration and the time the skin stays wet. The description indicates an action time of 30–90 seconds, which means continuous rubbing, not a three-second application followed by wiping. Two mistakes nullify everything: too little product (the gel dries in 10 seconds) and diluting with water or applying on wet hands, which lowers the actual alcohol concentration on the skin.

The formula is described as having an alcohol-based base with emollients, pH 7 ±1 skin-compatible, and dermatologically tested, precisely for repeated use. In practice, how you use it also matters: don't rinse after application, let it air dry completely, avoid excessive alternation with aggressive hot water washes, and apply hand cream at the end of your shift, not between clients. Keep the bottle closed between uses, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, so the alcohol doesn't evaporate and the consistency stays consistent.

This bottle is 500 ml, a good compromise between autonomy and workbench space — it can sit at each station without getting in the way. The description mentions the range goes from 100 ml to 5 liters, so the restocking logic for a studio looks like this: 100 ml in the mobile kit and for conventions, 500 ml at workstations, the large format as a refill reserve. The description doesn't specify if this bottle comes with a pump or built-in dispenser, so if you need one-handed dosing, check this detail before ordering or provide a separate dispenser.

That's not the right choice. The product is formulated for skin and contains emollients, so on equipment and surfaces it can leave a film instead of cleaning. For the machine, cable, clip cord, lamp, and work surface, use surface disinfectant and, most importantly, disposable protective barriers — foil, machine covers, and clip cord bottle covers — because the barrier prevents contamination, and the disinfectant acts between clients on exposed areas. Reusable grips are cleaned and sterilized according to the dedicated procedure, not with hand gel.

Absolutely not. A fresh tattoo is a superficial wound, and high-concentration alcohol applied to it is painful and counterproductive. Post-tattoo care is done with the dedicated products from your aftercare protocol, and the client washes their hands with soap and water before touching the area. The gel remains strictly for your hands, your assistant's hands, and, if you want, the client's hands upon entering the studio.
