It is a cosmetic liquid soap with Aloe Vera, in a 500 ml bottle, delivered in a case of 12 pieces — designed for places where hands are washed dozens of times a day. It makes a fine, dense foam, has pH 5 ± 1 and contains over 94% biodegradable ingredients, so it lends itself to repeated use without discomfort. It is used for cleaning hands and skin, at home or in public hygiene areas — including at a studio sink, as the first step of the hygiene routine. The case makes sense if you want backup stock and refills for dispensers, without ordering every month.
Does this soap disinfect hands? Can I skip the disinfectant solution?▾
No. It is a cosmetic product of the liquid soap type, and its role is cleansing: foam and friction mechanically remove dirt, sebum, and some microorganisms, which are then rinsed off at the sink. Disinfection is a separate step, with a dedicated product. The correct order in a work environment is: wash with soap for at least 15 seconds, rinse, dry completely, apply hand sanitizer, put on gloves. Soap does the basic job without which the sanitizer doesn't even work well — on visibly dirty hands, sanitizer alone is ineffective.
How do I properly maintain it and how long does it last after opening?▾
Shelf life is 4 years from the date of manufacture, but once the bottle is opened you have 12 months of use. Keep the product in its original container, at 5–30°C, and open bottles one by one, not the whole case at once. If you put it in a dispenser at the sink, wash and dry the reservoir before each refill and don't top up over old residue — it's the most common source of contamination in a studio bathroom. A marker with the opening date on the bottle takes care of your record-keeping.
Why is it sold in a case of 12? Does it make sense for me?▾
The case of 12 x 500 ml bottles is made for high and constant consumption: studios, practices, public spaces, and offices, or simply for those who want stock and refills for dispensers. With a 4-year shelf life from manufacture, unopened bottles store easily until their turn comes. However, if washing is occasional and a bottle lasts you more than a year, the case brings no advantage — you're better off with a small quantity, to respect the 12 months from opening.
Does it dry out the skin if I wash my hands dozens of times a day?▾
The formula is designed precisely for repeated use: it has pH 5 ± 1, fine, dense foam with emollient and protective effect, and the Aloe Vera, glycerin, and Sodium PCA in the composition contribute to skin comfort and maintaining hydration. That doesn't mean you can ignore the rest of the routine — in very frequent washing, water that's too hot and incomplete drying contribute more to discomfort than the soap itself. Skin reacts individually, so check the INCI list if you know you have sensitivities.
Can I use it on other areas, not just hands?▾
Yes, it is intended for cleaning hands and skin (teguments) by washing, so you can use it on intact skin with subsequent rinsing. It is not diluted and not left on the skin — it is lathered, rinsed, and dried. However, it is not a specialized care product for a fresh tattoo or damaged skin; for those, follow your artist's instructions and the products they recommend.
What does it look like and smell like? Does it matter for a space with clients?▾
It is a viscous, translucent green liquid with a fresh and invigorating fragrance, soluble in water. In a public space, the scent and dense foam really matter for the perception of cleanliness, and the plastic packaging with at least 30% recycled content, plus the over 94% biodegradable ingredients, are good arguments if you care about sustainability. If you work with clients sensitive to fragrance, keep in mind that the product is scented.
