What are the ingredients in chlorhexidine wipes?

The antiseptic body wipes are formulated with 2% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent used to prepare skin for surgery and sterilise surgical instruments. As a cation-active compound, chlorhexidine stays on the skin, meaning it continues to be effective after wiping the skin with a wipe.

As an antiseptic, chlorhexidine is effective against harmful bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. There is even research to suggest that it is better than povidone-iodine for clean surgery. 

Chlorhexidine gluconate is also commonly used in mouthwash to treat gum disease and as such, it is very gentle and non-irritating in low concentrations, including the concentration used in PDI’s body wipes.
