The choice of skin care for the special needs of the metal industry

In the steel industry, workers often get their hands and arms extremely dirty. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose products that not only cleanse effectively but also preserve the skin’s integrity without causing dryness. This is one of the many reasons why industries choose Sterisol as their skin care provider.

Anyone familiar with the metal industry knows that the conditions are quite unique. Besides getting dirty and being exposed to oils, workers often face extreme temperature variations. Many Swedish metal industries are located in the north, where mining can be cold, raw, and damp. In contrast, smelters and production facilities for finished goods often have much higher temperatures. These challenging conditions can cause skin irritation. Once the skin starts cracking and drying out, it becomes more difficult to cleanse, which can create a vicious cycle.

Many of our customers emphasize the importance of an effective heavy-duty soap that allows workers to clean themselves with just one wash. The combination of effectiveness and skin-friendly properties is something Sterisol is known for.

The right product in the right place

Certain products have become synonymous with industrial skin care: coarse soap, skin cream, and shower soap. By working closely with Swedish industries since the 1970s, we have gained invaluable insight into the specific needs of workers. Many customers stress the importance of placing skin cream at wash basins to make it easily accessible. This helps prevent skin problems and infections, providing sustainable skin care.
