Rinse Free Hand Wash

You've been carrying hand sanitiser for years now.

You've also been carrying hand cream — because the sanitiser dries your hands out.

Most hand sanitisers are a gel. The gel is the part that wrecks your hands. Alcohol does the actual sanitising; the synthetic thickener is just there so the product feels like something. It doesn't sanitise. It just sits and dries your skin.

This one is liquid. 72% alcohol — the active. Plus eucalyptus, tea tree and lemon myrtle for extra antibacterial work and a smell that isn't a hospital corridor.

"Almost all sanitisers leave something — sticky, slippery. This one doesn't."
— Sharelle Aurisch ★★★★★

A spritz or two onto the palms. Rub. Pay attention to thumbs and between the fingers — that's where most people miss.

Dries in about ten seconds. No tackiness afterwards.

The 100ml lives in the handbag, the car, the bottom of the school bag, the desk drawer at work.

The 1 litre is the refill bottle that lives at home — top up the small one when it runs low.

Multiple customers spray it onto a cloth and wipe down phones, keyboards and steering wheels. Same active, no residue to damage electronics.

Hands after pumping petrol.

Hands after the school pickup.

Hands after the supermarket trolley handle.

Hands after holding the bus pole.

Hands before lunch — when the kitchen sink isn't an option.

A phone, a steering wheel, a keyboard — sprayed onto a cloth, wiped on.

Four ingredients. All readable.

72% denatured ethanol — the active sanitiser. Same alcohol type used in WHO-recommended hand sanitiser formulas. At 72% it kills viruses and bacteria on contact.

100% pure Australian eucalyptus oil — natural antibacterial. Adds the bush note to the scent.

100% pure Australian tea tree oil — naturally antibacterial and antifungal. Conditions the skin where the alcohol would otherwise dry it.

100% pure Australian lemon myrtle oil — natural antibacterial. The bright top-note that makes it smell unlike any other sanitiser.

That's the entire formula.

No carbomer. No polysorbate. No synthetic thickener of any kind. The reason most sanitisers are a gel is the carbomer. We removed it because it doesn't sanitise — it just dries your skin.

No SLS or SLES. No MIT or BIT. No benzalkonium chloride. No chlorine bleach. No ammonia. No synthetic fragrance. No dyes. No triclosan.
Every one of these chemicals is documented, with its sources, in The Home Chemical Almanac.

Why a liquid and not a gel?
Most hand sanitisers are a gel because they need a synthetic thickener — usually carbomer — to make the alcohol stick to your hand. The thickener does no sanitising. It just sits there and dries your skin out. Alcohol does the actual work; we removed the gel and added oils that condition the skin instead.

Will it dry my hands out?
Less than the gel ones. The eucalyptus, tea tree and lemon myrtle oils add a thin film that conditions the skin while the alcohol works. Most of our return customers came across this in the dry-hands aftermath of COVID.

Can I use it on phones, keyboards and steering wheels?
Yes. Spray onto a clean cloth, then wipe. The alcohol evaporates and leaves no residue to damage electronics. Several customers use it specifically for this.

Is it safe for kids?
Yes. Same considerations as any alcohol-based sanitiser — supervise small children, avoid the eyes and mouth. The bush oils are at safe-use levels.

Should I get the 100ml or the 1 litre?
Both. The 100ml lives in the bag, the car, the school bag. The 1 litre is the refill that lives at home — top up the small one when it runs low. The 1 litre lasts the average household six months.

We've been making natural eucalyptus products since 1895.

Five generations. One commitment — products made from ingredients you can actually read, that work without leaving anything behind they shouldn't.

Real ingredients on the label. Nothing synthetic. Nothing hidden. Nothing on your bench, in your bedroom or in your kitchen that shouldn't be there.

If it doesn't work for you — for any reason, any time — we'll refund you in full. No return needed. No questions asked. No expiry on that promise.
