Understanding antiseptics: what you need to know

Many households have antiseptic cream tucked away in the medicine cabinet. These essential items are often the first line of defence for minor cuts and burns. Keeping a tube in your daily bag is also a great idea to help combat those nasty ant or mosquito bites, or scrapes that can happen during day-to-day life.

But when was the last time you checked their expiration dates and updated your supply? Antiseptics are readily available in various forms, such as creams, antiseptic sprays and wipes, each catering to different needs. At Healthylife, you will find a broad range of antiseptics, from those created on tea-tree oil and aloe vera to iodine solutions and skin cleansers.

What is an antiseptic?

Did you know that antiseptic use dates back to the 18th century, when Scottish surgeon John Pringle first used it? Today’s advancements have led to the development of effective, gentle varieties that can support the healing process. So, what exactly is an antiseptic? Available in various forms, including creams, oils and liquid sprays, antiseptics are designed to help prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms on living tissue.

What does an antiseptic do?

Antiseptics are applied to the body to help prevent infection, including chronic wounds, which affect about 1.5% of the population. Chronic wounds pose a challenge, as they can be difficult to heal and are prone to infections. The use of antiseptics may help manage these wounds by reducing the microbial load and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Does an antiseptic kill infection?

Different antiseptic formulas have different purposes, but the primary function is to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, which may help prevent infections from developing or worsening. It is always important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper wound care and treatment advice.

What is the difference between an antiseptic and a disinfectant?

While both antiseptics and disinfectants are used to control and eliminate microorganisms, their applications differ. While antiseptics are administered on a person’s skin or tissue, disinfectants are used on non-living objects.

Antiseptics play an important role in first aid kits, whether at home, in the workplace, or in your car. By incorporating antiseptic creams, sprays and wipes into your supplies, you can be better prepared to manage minor injuries and support the healing process. 

Healthylife offers a variety of over-the-counter antiseptics to suit different needs. Always remember that consulting a healthcare professional is crucial in the treatment of wounds and infections.
