What Is Handwash?

Handwash is a cleansing product formulated to remove dirt, bacteria, viruses and everyday impurities from the skin. Using handwash regularly—especially before eating, after using the bathroom or returning home—helps protect against infections and supports overall hygiene. Modern handwashes contain gentle surfactants, moisturising agents and antibacterial ingredients that keep hands clean without causing irritation.
