Hand Defense® - Professional Hand Hygiene

Keep Skin HealthyDid you know 40 percent of industrial workers will suffer from occupational dermatitis? It's a serious problem that causes pain, illness, absenteeism, lost productivity, and increased costs for employers, according to the CDC.

Hillyard Hand Defense® is a simple yet effective skin care regimen to help keep skin healthy and occupational dermatitis at bay. Clean hands with one of our five professional hand wash formulas​ and help protect and restore the skin with Hillyard Hand Defense Skin Moisturizer.

Bio-based Solvents - Surfacts - Emollients - ​A Smart Choice!

Many heavy-duty hand soap formulators use petroleum-based solvents, like mineral spirits, to help cut the grease and grime on dirty hands. While effective, there are natural-based alternatives.

Hand Defense products are formulated with natural, bio-based solvents, surfactants, and ​​​emollients.

Hillyard formulations with lower concentrations of natural solvents are very efficient at breaking down grease and grime when compared to products with higher concentrations of mineral spirit-based solvents.

Natural solvents, surfactants, and emollients - a smart choice for your hands and our environment!

Heavy-Duty Dispensing

The Hand Defense System includes two dispensing platforms. The H.D. 2000 is designed to dispense the five hand wash formulas in high-capacity 2000ml cartridges. The H.D. 1250 dispensing platform is designed to dispense Hand Defense Skin Moisturizer in 1250ml cartridges and all Hillyard Affinity® brand manual system 1250ml cartridges. The Affinity brand provides access to a wide array of skin care formulas, including instant hand sanitizer, hair and body wash, antimicrobial soap, Green Seal™-certified products, and more.
