Hibiscrub® antimicrobial skin cleanser contains 4% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate, it is effective against a wide range of microbes, including several strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses, and reduces bacterial load more efficiently than povidone iodine. Hibiscrub® is not absorbed into the skin, but binds to it to form a protective layer that kills bacteria within one minute, and continues to do so for up to six hours after application. It is not inactivated by bodily fluids. Dermatologically tested, and is proven to be gentle on the skin, even with frequent use. This is significant because repeated application of Hibiscrub has been shown to increase its antimicrobial efficacy.
