EPHYON 500g Antibacterial Hand Wash is a liquid hand cleansing product. The product label indicates that it is used for hand skin cleansing and antibacterial purposes, with the active ingredient triclosan listed at a content of 0.09% to 0.11% (W/V). It is suitable for home and daily handwashing scenarios, and the key points of use are to dispense, rub, rinse, and dry, rather than just focusing on the amount of foam.
When washing hands, first wet your hands with running water, then press to take an appropriate amount of hand wash, making sure the foam covers the palms, back of the hands, between the fingers, fingertips, and thumbs—areas that are easily missed. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend rubbing with soap for about 20 seconds, then rinsing with running water and drying. Following the complete steps is more important than a quick wetting.
The EPHYON product description labels it as neutral and mild, with rich foam that is easy to rinse. It is used for daily hand cleansing and antibacterial purposes, belongs to non-medicinal products, and does not have therapeutic, care, or health functions.
The guidelines for disinfectant product labels issued by the National Health Commission require that the relevant content be truthful. Antimicrobial agents should indicate the main active ingredients and their content, and must not be falsely exaggerated or imply disease treatment. GB 38598-2020 further provides general requirements for disinfectant product labels. For consumers, the active ingredients, scope of use, methods, and precautions on the packaging should be read together.
Different markets have different classifications and requirements for antibacterial handwashing products. The US FDA's consumer information on antibacterial soaps reminds that regular soap and running water can accomplish daily handwashing, and products should not be assumed to be more effective at preventing disease solely because of the label 'antibacterial.' When choosing handwashing products, pay attention to their applicable scope and usage instructions, and make sure to thoroughly rub and rinse your hands.
If your hands are visibly soiled with oil, dirt, or food residues, first wash them thoroughly with running water and hand soap; after use, rinse off any residue and dry. Hand soap is not drinkable and should be kept out of reach of children and pets, stored in a cool, dark place.
The 500g packaging is suitable for placing at household sinks and other daily handwashing locations. Keep the pump and bottle mouth clean, press to take an appropriate amount, rub thoroughly, and then rinse off; if skin discomfort occurs, discontinue use.
