Chennai: The global outbreak of the virus has made sanitisers an integral part of our lives. As a short term solution, sanitisers mattered but the side effects weigh heavily against long term, frequent usage of the same.
Clensta, in a press release here listed the side effects of sanitisers. “The constant application of alcohol-based sanitisers removes all the moisture and oils of the skin causing irritation, burning and increases the risk of hand dermatitis or eczema. Several research studies have reported that some non-alcohol-based hand sanitisers containing an antibiotic compound called Triclosan are a health hazard as their overuse has negative effects on fertility, foetal development and asthma.”
Clensta has provided an alternative lotion, in association with IIT-Delhi. It said, “It is clinically proven to protect against Covid-19 up to 24 hours. Itâs PAP (Prolonged Antiviral Protection) Technology ensures protection long after application, by continuously killing any Covid-19 virus that may come in contact with your skin. It eliminates the need to repeatedly apply any lotion during the day.”
It is a unique lotion that can be applied to the whole body â hands, face, neck, arms, etc offering comprehensive protection for you and your loved ones whether at the home, office, playground, during travel or while attending family events. It is skin-friendly, with no alcohol content and is an effective moisturiser.
The lotion is an environmentally safe product made from Sophorolipid that is a biosurfactant along with having
added benefits of silver nanoparticles and citric acid which are known for their virus protection qualities.
