A Jewish doctor was the first to recognize the importance of hand washing as a preventative of disease. In fact, frequent hand washing is recommended (before eating, after going to the bathroom, after touching animals, etc…).

For all these reasons, they need special care: nourishing and regenerating active ingredients, as well as the use of neutral soaps for hygiene.
