"Added antibacterial power to cuteness!" A! Clean x Hello Kitty Hand Wash Launches
Hand wash edition featuring Hello Kitty illustrations launched
Lion Korea has launched the "A! Clean x Hello Kitty Edition," which adds Hello Kitty illustrations to its "A! Clean Antibacterial Foam Hand Soap." The product was released at a time when summer hygiene care is becoming more important, as hot and humid weather creates an environment where bacteria and viruses can multiply easily. Proper handwashing after going out, before and after meals, and after using the restroom is considered one of the most basic personal hygiene habits in daily life.
Verified antibacterial performance, fine dust removal, and skin safety
"A! Clean Hand Wash" offers antibacterial protection that removes 99.9% of harmful bacteria, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. It also removes 99.9% of fine dust. Skin irritation testing was completed by German Dermatest, while Dermapro conducted skin irritation and eye irritation alternative tests. Because it contains no 13 concerning ingredients, the product can be used by the whole family.
Fragrance lineup and channel-specific sales plans
The fragrance lineup consists of two types: "White Lily scent" and "Forest Walk scent." They are introduced as, respectively, an exotic scent reminiscent of a resort getaway and a refreshing scent evoking a walk along a forest path rich in phytoncides. Capacity and package composition vary by sales channel.
