Can I use alcohol-based hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics during pregnancy and while breastfeeding?

Yes. There are no known risks related to the proper use of our hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Background:
The alcohol concentration in the blood after the proper use of our hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics is toxicologically harmless when the concentration and duration of use as well as the evaporation, skin absorption and metabolism are taken into consideration.
Nevertheless, hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics should always be used purposefully in private households. Consult a doctor before using skin antiseptics prior to breastfeeding.
