We've previously demonstrated how to make a simple hand sanitiser (click here for video demonstration).
As consumers continue to use hand gels in their everyday lives, it is predicted that new product development within sanitation may experience a push towards premiumisation as formulators must think beyond basic sanitation properties. Product characteristics such as added benefits (moisturisation), textures, packaging and fragrance will all come into play (Mintel, 2020).
Innovation Examples
- Innovating with textures to create alternatives, such as a hand sanitising mist spray
- Single-use sanitiser sachets instead of traditional plastic packaging
- Child-friendly fragrances to encourage effective hygiene regimes
Skin Survival
Sanitisers need to be both functional and eye-catching to stand out in the marketplace. Add a splash of colour, pearlescent pigments or a luxury fragrance to your skin care formulations to make them stand out from the crowd.
