How does anti-microbial effect work in Olé Beauty Aromatic Hand Cream?

The very important ingredient: Chloroxylenol.


Chloroxylenol is most effective against gram-positive bacteria. It works by disruption of the cell wall and stopping the function of enzymes.

It is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent used for skin disinfection and surgical instruments. It is found in antibacterial soaps, wound-cleansing applications, and household antiseptics.

 

 
Chloroxylenol is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.
