Pharmacist FAQs Answered
How do Wet Ones 'Be Zingy' wipes kill 99.9% of bacteria?
Wet Ones 'Be Zingy' antibacterial wipes kill 99.9% of bacteria by using active ingredients like benzalkonium chloride, a potent antibacterial agent.
When you apply the product to wipe your hands or skin, the antibacterial ingredient kills the cell walls of the bacteria, preventing them from growing and spreading. Because they are pH balanced and dermatologically tested, the wipes kill bacteria without damaging or drying out the skin. They're a convenient and easy way to remain clean when soap and water aren't available.
Are Wet Ones wipes safe to use on the skin daily?
Yes, Wet Ones antibacterial hand and body wipes are safe to use daily. They've been:
- Dermatologically tested, i.e., tested by skin experts to ensure they are safe.
- pH balanced, i.e., the same as the natural skin pH to avoid irritation.
- Paraben-free, which is important because parabens are preservatives that some people prefer not to use.
Because they are made to be soft, you can use them every day on your hands, arms, or even to wake up your body if necessary, without worrying about hurting your skin.
Are Wet Ones 'Be Zingy' wipes right for use on the face?
While Wet Ones wipes are gentle enough for skin, they are not designed to be used on the face, especially around eyes or highly sensitive facial skin.
Facial skin is more delicate, and antibacterial ingredients, though mild, may cause slight irritation on certain people if applied repeatedly to that area.
For quick cleaning up of hands, arms, neck, or body, they are just fine. If you specifically require wipes for the face, then you should opt for a product specifically designed for facial cleaning.
Why are Wet Ones 'Be Zingy' wipes excellent for travelling?
Wet Ones 'Be Zingy' antibacterial wipes are one of the best wipes for travel hygiene because:
- Small - The 12-wipe pack is small enough to fit into a pocket, purse, backpack, or glovebox in your vehicle.
- Resealable - Keeps the wipes moist and fresh, preventing them from drying out.
- Effective - Kills bacteria on contact when you do not have convenient access to soap and water — perfect for airports, public transportation, festivals, parks, and school trips.
Their cool zingy fragrance also has you feeling invigorated after a long day or trip, with you being clean and charged wherever you might be.
How are Wet Ones wipes different from using hand sanitiser?
Both Wet Ones antibacterial wipes and alcohol-based hand sanitisers kill germs when you cannot wash your hands, but there are some significant differences especially to creams like Savlon or TCP solution:
- Wipes physically remove dirt and bacteria, whereas sanitisers kill bacteria but do not get rid of dirt or grease.
- Wet Ones are alcohol-free and therefore less drying, making them more suitable for sensitive skin compared to many alcohol-based sanitisers.
- Clean dirty surfaces too, not just hands, so you can use them to clean tables, door handles, or shopping carts as well.
For complete hygiene, especially when hands look visibly dirty, Wet Ones wipes are generally a better choice because they disinfect and clean simultaneously.
