Pivoting Manufacturing to Hand Sanitizer
Our team has been working incredibly hard over the past few months to formulate and produce a new Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer with Hyaluronic Acid to join the collective effort in manufacturing sanitizer during these challenging times. As per Health Canada’s advice for COVID-19, practicing proper hygiene can help reduce the risk of infection or spreading infection to others. This includes washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. The Kalaya Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer with Hyaluronic Acid is available on Kalaya.ca and Home Hardware.
Key Product Features
- Our unique formulation is designed with Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate hands and prevent dry skin.
- Our medical team formulated our Sanitizer with USP Grade Ethanol, the safest and purest alcohol type, used by hospitals and pharmacies. As a medically directed company we have not, and will not, use Technical Grade Ethanol, the alcohol type used for industrial purposes. Despite being used by some manufacturers, is not pure enough to be offered for food, drug or medicinal use of any kind.
- Designed by medical professionals with 70% Ethyl Alcohol for personal hand hygiene to help prevent the spread of bacteria.
- Effective in destroying harmful bacteria to provide antiseptic cleansing.
- Kills harmful bacteria and germs.
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance that intensely hydrates the skin and locks in moisture. Unlike most hand sanitizers, our formulation is enhanced with Hyaluronic Acid which means that it helps to hydrate your skin and prevent dryness.
Advice for Prevention: COVID-19
We’re continuing to followHealth Canada’s advice on hygiene practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, including proper hand-washing (tips below), avoiding touching your face and coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, instead of in your hand.

Hygiene Tips
Although hand-washing might seem like a simple task, you should follow these steps from Health Canada to thoroughly rid your hands of germs.
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Alcohol-based hand cleansers, like our Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer with Hyaluronic Acid are useful when soap and water are not available.
- Wet your hands with warm water. Add soap and rub your hands together, ensuring you have lathered all surfaces for at least 20 seconds. Wash the front and back of your hands, as well as between your fingers and under your nails.
- Rinse your hands well under warm running water, using a rubbing motion.
- Wipe and dry your hands gently with a clean towel or a paper towel.
- If skin dryness is a problem, use a moisturizing lotion after washing your hands. We’d recommend one of our nourishing Body Butters or our hydrating Hand Cream.
