VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2020 / (CSE:OVAT)(OTC PINK:OVATF) - Ovation Science Inc. (“Ovation” or the “Company”) discusses the use of its non-alcohol hand sanitizer DermSafe® as an effective option to combat hand dermatitis (excessive dry hands) which is now prevalent due to increased hand washing and use of alcohol hand sanitizers. In addition, Health Canada recently increased its recall list to over eighty alcohol-based hand sanitizers as they may pose health risks (Health Canada Recall and Safety Alerts, December 11, 2020). Ovation’s DermSafe is on Health Canada’s approved list of hand sanitizers that meet Health Canada’s requirements for sale in Canada (Refer to “Canada.ca: Hard-surface disinfectants and hand sanitizers (COVID-19): List of hand sanitizers authorized by Health Canada”).
Health Canada and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have advised everyone to wash our hands frequently and/or use a hand sanitizer in order to help combat the spread of the coronavirus. This preventive measure, although critical, has for some people caused complications, especially for healthcare workers, restaurant personnel and others that constantly wash their hands. This can result in dry, cracked hands, even hand dermatitis due to a reduction in the skin’s natural skin barrier. Hand dermatitis can interfere with work and quality of life. In addition, not all alcohol hand sanitizer are effective or deemed safe. Since June 2020, more than eighty alcohol-based hand sanitizers have been recalled by Health Canada as they determined they presented a health risk to the population. The risks includes dermatitis, skin or eye irritation, even respiratory problems and headaches (Vancouver Sun, “COVID-19: Avoid these hand sanitizers that are recalled in Canada”; Sep 19, 2020).
“It’s winter and we all know how dry our hands can get just from the weather alone, never mind all of the hand washing and sanitizer use. DermSafe is an effective alternative to alcohol hand sanitizers as it is a non-drying lotion made with our patented polymer Invisicare® which acts like a protective glove on your hands. Additionally, we use chlorhexidine gluconate or CHG, which has been safely used in soaps to prevent the spread of germs around the world for over 60 years,” said Terry Howlett, CEO of Ovation Science. He added, “We keep hearing from customers that have tried DermSafe that they cannot believe how great their hands feel after using DermSafe. This is also verified by an independent study conducted by California Skin Research Institute, that shows how our Invisicare technology used in DermSafe, retains the moisture level in your hands; even with multiple hand washings.”
DermSafe is available online at Amazon.ca, and at Source For Sports independent retail stores across Canada and at SourceForSports.ca. Commercial orders can be placed through our distributors by contacting info@ovationscience.com.
