Is Hand Sanitizer Safe to Use While Pregnant?

You’re painting their nursery, filling your registry, inventorying supplies, and oh yeah, growing a human! Don’t worry, mama, we’ve got all of the answers to your hand sani questions. 

Is hand sanitizer safe for mom and baby? The short answer: yes. The FDA states hand sanitizer is safe for expectant mothers and have started additional research on certain ingredients to further prove their point. 

With motherhood comes obsessively reading product labels, and OLIKA understands that not all products are created equal. Our hydrating hand sanitizer formula contains nothing but the best. You can rest assured that our scents are powered by essential-oils and our recipes follow all CDC sani guidelines. 

Clean hands aren’t the only way to protect you and your baby.

Swap mainstream cleaning chemicals for non-toxic alternatives.
