Urban Juve products to be launched include hand sanitizer, hand moisturizer and hand cleanser.
According to Grand View research, the global hand care market size was valued at USD $12.4 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2019 to 2025. This estimate was made before the coronavirus outbreak and the growth rate could be much higher as education about the importance of hand washing and moisturizing grows. Data from Adobe Analytics showed that demand for hand sanitizers in the U.S. spiked by 1,400% between December 2019 and January 2020.
Urban Juve has built a distribution platform for its products which extends to Europe, North America and South America. It plans to launch its new hand care products in countries in all 3 continents by the end of 2020, beginning with Canada and the U.S.
Medical News Today states that, "hand washing is one of the most powerful ways to slow the spread of infectious diseases, but that overuse of soaps and hand sanitizers can cause the skin to dry out and crack." Moisturizing hands after washing can combat dryness which can make hands susceptible to infection. Dr. Zainab Laftah, a dermatologist and spokesperson for the British Skin Foundation, recommends the use of a regular moisturizer and either of the following two options:
- Wash with soap or with moisturizer and water, then moisturize.
- Use an alcohol-based hand gel and then moisturize afterward.
Urban Juve's luxurious, therapeutic, and botanically-infused skin products help to soothe and deeply moisturize the skin. Ancient Ayurvedic rituals for skin healing used powerful herbs and oils to replenish and restore the skin's natural pH balance.
"Skin is the largest organ of our body. It is our first line of defence against infections as it absorbs every pollutant from air, water, food and environment," says Yield Growth CEO Penny White. "Using the right products can feed skin the essential nutrients to support the immune system and fight harmful substances and germs that enter the body."
Urban Juve uses essential oils in its moisturizers because they have been well studied for their antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties. This makes them an excellent option to use when applying to the skin (hands) to help prevent the spread of harmful pathogens naturally. Because essential oils are so potent, they can be used to help kill harmful microbes, but in a way that is much safer for the body and the planet.
"We are dedicated to bringing these botanical hand formulas backed with the science of Ayurveda to support the ultimate journey of health and wellness," says Urban Juve's Director of Product Development Bhavna Solecki. "Our formulas take inspiration from the ancient Indian texts that define the Ayurvedic elixirs to create products that provide protection from environmental pollutants."
