Skin protection at the workplace
This is the motto that will be guiding Stoko Skin Care's presentation at the exhibition. Last year, German giant Degussa’s business unit celebrated the fortieth birthday of its care cream Stokolan, probably the best known of all its skin care products.
In addition to Stokolan, Stoko Skin Care will also present its latest development at the event, Stoko Spray. The exclusively designed small dispenser contains the washing lotion Stoko Spray Wash and the care lotion Stoko Spray Care. Extremely economical quantities of the products are sprayed on to the palms from the dispenser and, due to their consistency; they are very easy to rub all over the skin.
Ensuring skin compatibility coupled with skin-protecting and germ-reducing action is the hallmark of Stoko Progel, a skin protection gel. The gel is ideal for all those who need to wear gloves, particularly in hygiene-sensitive areas. With the antibacterial skin protection gel, wearing protective gloves is simply more pleasant and stresses the skin less because it helps prevent the skin from going soft.
Stokosept GEL is specially designed for the swift removal of microbial contamination. The hygienic gel is put on to the hands and rubbed over the skin without adding any water. It produces a pleasantly refreshing effect on the skin and at the same time acts against bacteria on the hands.
