Tuya Hand Sanitiser Gel (100ml)
The Tuya Hand Sanitiser Gel kills 99.99% of germs using Ionic Silver Technology.
There is an alcohol free spray formulation and a 70% alcohol gel formulation that leaves your skin clean and smooth and free from harmful ingredients.
My understanding and respect for the technology goes back many years and I have used it in the salon with
amazing results. With what’s shaking our world at the moment it was a no brainer that I needed to share it’s magic now.

Silver is a well-documented antimicrobial, that has been shown to kill bacteria, fungi and certain viruses. It is the positively charged silver ions (Ag+) that possess the antimicrobial effect. Silver ions target microorganisms through several different modes of action. For example, silver ions are incorporated into the bacterial cell membranes and bind to membrane proteins responsible for transport of substances in and out of the bacterial cells. Silver ions are also transported into the cells and will block cell division by binding to the DNA.

Microbial cells have a sophisticated internal electrical system that they use in all of their life processes.
Charged silver ions have the ability to disrupt this process and to prevent these micro-organisms from conducting electricity.
This makes them unable to function and so they collapse and die.

Silver has a long history of use in wound care and the safety record of the modern silver-containing wound dressings has been excellent. Several mechanisms exist by which the body removes excess silver. {Reference}
The use of silver in medicine dates back thousands of years, and scientists have long known that the metal is a potent antibacterial agent. Silver ions perform their deadly work by punching holes in bacterial membranes and wreaking havoc once inside. They bind to essential cell components like DNA, preventing the bacteria from performing even their most basic functions. {Reference}
