Skin&Skin Registers Hand Sanitizer with US FDA... "Official Export Possible"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Skin&Skin announced on the 13th that its hand sanitizer products have completed registration with the US FDA, making official exports possible.

The products officially registered with the US FDA by Skin&Skin are quasi-drugs approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in April. There are seven products in two types containing 62% and 70% ethanol, which are portable hand sanitizers that can sterilize and disinfect 99.9% of harmful bacteria on hands without water or soap.

Seo Se-hwan, CEO of Skin&Skin, said, "Through this US FDA registration, we have secured product reliability as well as global competitiveness," adding, "It will make overseas market entry much easier." He continued, "There has been high interest from distributors in the company's new hand sanitizer products, and export consultations with overseas distributors have been ongoing even before the launch. With this FDA registration, we have gained distribution credibility in the US, and an increase in export volume is expected, which in turn is anticipated to boost the company's sales."

Recently, as the number of COVID-19 patients rapidly increases in the US, various daily necessities such as masks and hand sanitizers are experiencing shortages. Additionally, because the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has emphasized the importance of hand care as a preventive measure against COVID-19, American citizens' interest in hand sanitizers is very high.

A Skin&Skin official stated, "We will do our best, including facility expansion, to ensure smooth supply of the rapidly increasing demand for hand sanitizer products," and added, "We also plan to focus on expanding the global market for hand sanitizers as soon as product certifications for overseas countries such as the European Union (EU), China, and Russia are completed."
