The gentle, alcohol-free sanitiser every parent needs in their bag
Say hello to the foaming hand sanitiser that’s alcohol-free, fragrance-free, rinse-free – and made with sensitive skin (and little hands) in mind.
Every mum knows a hand sanitiser is non-negotiable. Toddlers, tweens, teens… germy moments lurk everywhere, from sticky playground slides to shopping trolley handles. One squirt, and those microscopic troublemakers don’t stand a chance.
Hand sanitiser isn’t new, it’s been a nappy bag hero long before the pandemic. Sticky fingers, runny noses, post-playdate snack messes? Just another day in parenting. What is new is Happy Bear Skincare’s Alchol-free Foaming Hand Sanitiser.
Made by a mum who wanted the best for her little one’s hands, it’s alcohol-free, fragrance-free, rinse-free, and gentle enough for the tiniest hands. Finally, a sanitiser that’s effective, safe, and kind to little fingers, without drying out your skin or smelling like a chemistry lab.
A hand sanitiser that’s safe for little hands
Wave goodbye to clinical, sticky, drying sanitisers. Happy Bear was created by Sydney mum Kristyn Want, who wanted a formula gentle enough for her toddler but tough enough for the whole family.
“While I was pregnant with baby number two, I was looking for a sanitiser my toddler and I could both use. I was shocked when I couldn’t find one I felt comfortable using on my two-year-old,” says Kristyn.
“Everything was alcohol-based, harsh, or filled with unnecessary chemicals. So, I set about creating an Australian-made sanitiser that’s safe for little hands, but effective enough for the whole family.”
Gentle, toddler-safe, and fun to use
Forget the boring old bottles. Happy Bear comes in cute, non-clinical packaging with a foamy texture kids actually love. It’s available in a travel-friendly 50ml mini and a 100ml pump for your kitchen counter or car, perfect for life on the go.
“If it was going to live in my handbag, it had to look cute. I wanted Happy Bear to feel more like a fun little accessory than a boring old sanitiser – something my kids would be excited to use, and I’d be happy to carry around,” Kristyn explains.
“I didn’t just want a sanitiser that worked. I wanted one that felt good to use, looked cute on the shelf, and was safe enough for my toddler’s hands. No harsh alcohol. No overwhelming smells. No sterile, clinical packaging.”
Family-friendly and alcohol-free
Hand sanitisers usually have 60-80% alcohol. Sure, they kill germs, but they also leave hands dry, irritated, and sometimes stinging if it gets in little eyes.
Happy Bear flips that with Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK), a gentle-but-effective antimicrobial, plus natural emollients to replenish your skin.
- BZK: Tough on germs, gentle on skin
- Cetrimonium Chloride: Mild cleanser and skin conditioner
- Disodium EDTA: Preservative booster for a long-lasting formula
It kills 99.999% of germs without the sting, dryness, or harsh smells. Dermatologically tested, non-toxic, and safe for sensitive skin.
