Critical riskEU Safety Gate

An official EU Safety Gate notice concerns Non-water washing antibacterial hand washing gel. The product contains an insufficient amount of ethanol (measured values: 28,4% by weight). Consequently, it does not kill bacteria or viruses, which could then reach the user, increasing the risk of infection. Moreover, the presence of alcohols is not accompanied by the appropriate hazard pictograms and warnings. Users have therefore no information on the toxicity and flammability of the product, which in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire. Furthermore, the product contains the preservative methylisothiazolinone (MI) (0,0063%), which is forbidden in leave-on cosmetics. Dermal contact with MI-containing products can provoke allergic contact dermatitis to sensitised persons. The product does not comply with the Biocidals Products and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulations. Published 2020-11-27.
