EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOKUU'S PROBIOTIC HAND SOAP

While sanitising hand soaps serve a crucial purpose in a hospital setting, their use at home lacks substantial supporting evidence.

In fact, the overuse of sanitising products can have unwelcome side effects... including dry, cracked skin, redness, discoloration and flaking.

Research has solidly indicated that annihilating all microbes from our hands may not be the best approach for overall health. A prime example is triclosan, which used to be present in over 40% of all antibacterial soaps until it was (fortunately) banned in the US in 2016, and in the EU in 2010. Studies have shown that triclosan not only interferes with the body's thyroid hormone metabolism but is also linked to the development of resistant bacteria. Prior to the ban, producers of antibacterial soaps were asked to provide evidence that their products improved people's health, but they failed to do so.

Triclosan is just one of many concerning ingredients; triclocarban, benzalkonium chloride, and others have raised significant worries about antimicrobial resistance. These substances, widely used in consumer products, may be inadvertently aiding bacteria in developing resistance to antibiotics, prompting several countries to impose restrictions.

In contrast, YOKUU's probiotic hand soap provides a healthier alternative. Unlike conventional hand sanitizers and soaps that obliterate all microbes, our probiotic formula preserves beneficial microorganisms while maintaining effective cleaning. This approach not only promotes improved skin health but also aligns with our broader mission of putting microbes to good use for greater health and happiness.
