[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia) spreads worldwide, interest in portable hygiene products that can help maintain cleanliness is increasing.
To protect our bodies from viruses and other external environments, it is best to avoid crowded spaces as much as possible. However, when you have to go out for a long time for personal reasons, using public restrooms can be a concern. Since many people use them, they are often unhygienic and sometimes not well cleaned. It is especially uncomfortable during menstruation. The skin in the female Y-zone is prone to sensitivity, so thorough care is necessary even when outside.
Jilgyungyi, a women’s health specialized company, has introduced wet wipes exclusively for the female external genital area. Jilgyungyi’s tissue-type feminine cleanser, ‘Feminine Tissue Light,’ is easy to carry and can hygienically and gently care for the Y-zone skin during outdoor activities. It features embossing to enhance skin adhesion and allows for soft use, with excellent absorbency to clean contaminants thoroughly. It contains natural ingredients such as lotus, green tea, and Angelica gigas root, as well as poly-gamma-glutamic acid, a natural moisturizing ingredient fermented from soybeans, which helps strengthen skin moisture, soothe, and moisturize. It has also completed skin irritation tests.
Hands, a representative vector for various infectious diseases, must always be kept clean. Aekyung Industrial, a lifestyle beauty company, launched two hand sanitizers under its hygiene-specialized brand ‘Labsin’: ‘Labsin V3 Sanitizer Gel’ and ‘Labsin V3 Hand Sanitizing Tissue,’ which help remove harmful bacteria and maintain cleanliness conveniently. Both products contain ethanol derived from fermentation of grains instead of synthetic ethanol, and they evaporate quickly after disinfection, making them safe to use. They also help remove 99.9% of six harmful bacteria that cause diseases or infections, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They are available in portable sizes for management anytime, anywhere.
‘Labsin V3 Sanitizer Gel’ is an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing 70% ethanol and includes three natural ingredients: grapefruit seed, propolis, and green tea. It is available in two sizes: 500ml and 60ml. The ‘V3 Hand Sanitizing Tissue’ contains grain-fermented ethanol to help remove harmful bacteria and comes in two sizes: 60 sheets and a portable 10-sheet pack.
The mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth are more vulnerable than skin, allowing viruses to easily penetrate. If your eyes itch, instead of rubbing them with contaminated hands, try using a portable eyelid cleanser. Samil Pharmaceutical’s ‘Blephaclean’ is a pad-type eyelid cleanser made for treating blepharitis. The solution of Blephazol is sterilized and soaked into gauze, making the disposable Blephaclean convenient and hygienic for travel or portable use. Additionally, Blephaclean is preservative-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free, and alcohol-free, making it suitable for all ages. It also contains sodium hyaluronate to moisturize the thin and sensitive skin around the eyes.
If you are concerned about the quality of air inhaled through your nose, try AirLab’s filter-replaceable nasal mask ‘NoseClean.’ NoseClean is not a typical mask that covers the face around the nose and mouth but a silicone device with a replaceable natural hanji (traditional Korean paper) filter that is inserted directly into the user’s nostrils. The natural hanji filter primarily blocks pollen, yellow dust, and fine dust from outdoor air entering the respiratory tract, and the moisture created by the temperature difference inside and outside the nose during breathing provides secondary filtration, allowing you to breathe clean air. The main material of the replaceable filter, natural hanji, is non-irritating to the human body and has excellent air permeability. The silicone body and double tubes made from natural materials can be washed under running water and reused, and the device is almost unnoticeable when worn. The product is available in large, medium, and small sizes, considering the size and volume of the user’s nostrils.
