Application scenarios for our skin protection & hygiene products

Skin protection cream for optimum occupational safety Skin protection products support the skin's natural barrier function and thus prevent inflammation and irritation. Skin protection cream with beeswax protects the skin from irritation caused by changing pollutants and is therefore suitable for employees in industry as well as in the healthcare and retail sectors. Why are skin protection products necessary in the workplace? In principle, skin protection cream ensures that the skin is replenished with lipids that have been removed by frequent washing, spending time in a very dry environment or handling skin-irritating substances such as alkalis or disinfectants. The skin is protected from drying out in the affected areas. Also important for use in the workplace: the cream must be absorbed very quickly so that work can continue without long delays. Handling fine mechanics or small parts is therefore possible again very quickly. Companies have a duty when it comes to skin protection Employers are legally obliged to inspect workplaces for possible activities that could endanger the skin of their employees. With this in mind, the necessary skin protection products for occupational safety must be provided. With a skin protection and hygiene plan, companies and facilities can precisely define the application in the work process. Skin protection cream with beeswax Skin protection products based on natural beeswax are ideal for occupational safety and are particularly beneficial for rough, chapped and irritated skin. The wax protects the skin from moisture loss caused by skin-irritating substances, making it supple and smooth. A skin protection cream of this type serves as optimum occupational protection when dealing with various aggressive substances. Beeswax also provides very effective protection against disinfectants, weak acids, alkaline solutions and chemical-based cleaners that would quickly attack sensitive hands. Apply skin cream correctly Once the hands are clean and dry, the skin protection cream should ideally be applied to the back of the hand and spread evenly. Do not forget the spaces between the fingers, nail folds and fingertips. Then massage in briefly. That's it! Our skin protection cream is not only beneficial for the hands, but also for the face and neck. We recommend using it before and after work, during breaks and after washing. For the perfect complement, you can buy a sign for the use of skin protection as well as an instruction sign on the subject of "Use skin protection products" in our shop.

Waterproof protection against natural UV radiation when working outdoors and against artificially generated UV radiation, e.g. during electric welding. Particularly light, fast-absorbing consistency. With panthenol. Suitable for all skin types. UV protection cream for the skin Anyone who works outdoors or is exposed to artificially generated UV radiation, such as when welding or working with a gas torch, must protect their skin with UV protection cream. In addition to solar radiation, radiation from artificial UV sources can also cause painful sunburns and skin cancer if you do not protect yourself adequately. With our sun protection cream, we offer you reliable protection against sunburn, skin damage and premature skin ageing. The cream is quickly absorbed, waterproof and has a high sun protection factor. But how does a UV protection cream work and what effects do the different types of UV radiation have? The principle of action of UVA, UVB and UVC rays Ultraviolet radiation is electromagnetic radiation that is imperceptible to the human eye. The natural source of these short-wave rays is exclusively sunlight, which we are exposed to whenever we are outdoors. Even when the sky is overcast, these rays reach the earth's surface in a mild form. On hot days with a cloudless sky, the sun unfolds its full intensity. Unprotected skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation and its damaging effects. UVA rays are characterised by long UV waves with low energy. They are able to penetrate deep into the skin tissue down to the dermis. Although they are responsible for the direct pigmentation of the skin, they only produce a tan that lasts a few hours. At the same time, UVA radiation damages the collagen in the skin, which ages prematurely as a result. Although these rays are hardly capable of causing sunburn, they increase the risk of melanoma, i.e. the occurrence of malignant skin cancer. A special UV sun protection cream protects against this skin damage. UVB rays are medium-wave rays and penetrate less deep layers of the skin. They are essential for the formation of vitamin D and are responsible for the delayed formation of melanin by around 72 hours. This results in a long-term tan and provides the skin with light protection, which is particularly important in summer. Without sun protection, UVB rays cause sunburn on the skin, which is often very painful. Although these rays are responsible for a healthy tan on the skin, they are also dangerous: they have a particularly high carcinogenic effect and are considered prominent triggers of skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. UVC rays are the highest-energy, short-wave rays. They do not normally occur on the earth's surface, but are largely filtered out by the ozone layer in the atmosphere. However, UVC rays are generated, for example, during arc welding and when working with gas burners. They are extremely aggressive and cause sunburn in a very short time. In principle, however, UVC rays are even capable of killing microorganisms and are therefore used in the decontamination of foodstuffs, among other things. UV filters - the most important ingredients in every sun protection cream The Working Group for Dermatological Prevention recommends applying a UV protection cream or general sun protection by covering the skin when spending ten to 15 minutes outdoors. While a day cream with a sun protection factor is sufficient in cooler temperatures, a good sun cream is highly recommended in summer. An effective UV protection cream is equipped with a reliable UVA, UVB and UVC filter. These dissolve well in the sun cream and spread evenly throughout the cream. When applied to the skin, they create an invisible protective film that absorbs harmful UV rays. Instructions for applying sun cream: Apply UV protection cream for the first time 30 minutes before UV exposure or sun contact. Use plenty of UV protection cream! Pay particular attention to protecting your lips, ear rims, nose, décolleté and, if necessary, the backs of your feet. Reapply sun cream every two hours and after every swim. Take the sun protection factor into account. Sun cream does not extend the time spent in the sun by reapplying it several times. The sun protection factor in UV protection cream The higher the sun protection factor of a sun cream, the longer you can stay in the sun without unpleasant consequences. The exact details of this factor can be found on the various products under the abbreviation SPF. However, the optimum amount of time you can spend in the sun without damaging your skin depends on various factors. First and foremost, this is your skin's own protection time. This is an aspect that is often given too little attention and is not known to many sun lovers. The most common classification is the categorisation according to Thomas Fitzpatrick, an American dermatologist. He differentiates between six different skin types with different self-protection times. In the following list, the recommended sun protection factor is based on the UV index 9+, strong sunlight: Type I, very light skin colour: 10 minutes, SPF 25 - 35 Type II, light skin colour: 10 - 20 minutes, SPF 20 - 25 Type III, medium skin colour: 20 - 30 minutes, SPF 15 - 20 Type IV, brownish skin colour: more than 30 minutes, SPF 15 Type V, dark skin colour: more than 90 minutes, SPF 8 Type VI, very dark skin colour: more than 90 minutes, SPF 4 If you know your personal self-protection time, it is easy to calculate the optimum length of stay in the sun for you. Multiply the self-protection time of your skin by the sun protection factor indicated on the UV protection cream. The result is the amount of time you can spend in the sun without regret. If you prefer to play it safe, reduce the result by 40 per cent. Sun protection cream at the workplace Where employers cannot prevent direct skin contact with UV rays, they must provide their employees with UV sun protection cream in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. We recommend applying the cream to the areas of skin at risk before spending time in the sun. The prerequisite for this is that the skin is clean and dry. Employees should always reapply cream, especially after washing or after sweating heavily. To optimise the workflow in your company, we recommend our "Use skin protection products" sign. For good reason, your employees should always remember that they need to use sun cream to protect themselves from sunburn and the generally damaging effects of UV rays, such as their carcinogenic effects. The risk of developing skin cancer from work-related UV radiation has now been proven. Since 1 January 2015, squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses have been recognised as occupational diseases by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS).

Application of the lotionn }}For optimum protection in the workplace, it is best to apply Aktivin® HandHero to clean, dry skin before work and after each cleaning and spread it carefully. Our skin protection lotion is extremely economical, one dispenser stroke is usually sufficient. We also offer suitable dispensers for easy and hygienic application in larger companies.n }}n }}Skin protection lotion or skin protection cream?n }}Like many skin protection creams, our Aktivin® HandHero lotion is based on an oil-in-water emulsion (O/W emulsion), i.e. a small proportion of oil mixed with a large proportion of water. High-quality creams and lotions are therefore generally non-greasy, but are excellent at regulating the skin's moisture balance. This means that they nourish and protect without leaving an unpleasant film. A lotion also has the advantage that it is absorbed very quickly and deeply. As we also attach particular importance to residue-free protection for the remaining ingredients, Aktivin® HandHero skin protection lotion leaves no annoying marks on workpieces - so you always have everything perfectly under control!n }}n }}Hand protection + skin protectionn }}Thanks to its unique combination of active ingredients, Aktivin® HandHero forms an elastic, non-slip and, above all, breathable protective layer. This makes it the ideal supplement when protective gloves have to be worn at the workplace. The mild skin protection agent does not react with the gloves and therefore does not impair their protective effect. Conversely, however, it protects the skin from moisture loss and irritation that hand protection products can cause. It is important to note that a skin protectant cannot replace hand protection. Skin protection products are intended to prevent the formation of eczema caused by permanent stress on the skin.n }}n }}Occupational health and safety law requires skin protectionn }}Depending on the risk assessment, the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires different solutions for protecting, cleaning and caring for the skin. As a universal skin protection product, Aktivin® HandHero is the perfect choice for a wide range of hazards and work situations. The all-rounder should therefore be part of almost every skin protection plan.n }}n }}A customised skin protection plan for every work situationn }}Our sales representatives will be happy to create customised skin protection plans for you in a personal consultation that are precisely tailored to the requirements of the respective workplaces.
