At Happy Bear, every ingredient has a purpose — to keep little hands clean, safe, and happy. Instead of harsh alcohol, we use benzalkonium chloride (BZK), a gentle yet powerful antimicrobial that kills 99.999% of germs without drying or stinging skin. To keep our foam silky and pleasant to use, we include cetrimonium chloride, which helps the formula glide smoothly and stay gentle, while also cleansing away dirt and oils. And to make sure every pump stays fresh and effective, disodium EDTA helps preserve and stabilise the formula over time. Together, these carefully chosen ingredients create a hand sanitiser that’s effective, kind to skin, and perfect for everyday family use.

We went straight into the lab and developed Happy Bear. We then had it dermatologically tested. We had nailed it! Happy Bear passed all the trials and tests with flying colours.
