Hand and body lotions – This category covers hand washes and body lotions in 5 litre canisters, used to refill washbasin and shower dispensers in guest bathrooms, public washrooms and staff areas. The main variables are the richness of the lotion, absorption speed, fragrance intensity and how well the formula flows through a standard dispenser pump without dripping or clogging.
When asking for a quotation, indicate how many washbasin and shower positions have to be served, the estimated monthly volume and whether hand wash and body lotion should share a fragrance. INCI lists, pH values and canister dimensions are given in the technical data.
Hand and body lotions: procurement considerations
- Absorption and residue: A fast-absorbing body lotion leaves less residue on linen and bathrobes, which matters for laundry costs as well as guest comfort.
- Hand wash frequency: Washroom hand wash is consumed far faster than in-room lotion, so plan separate reorder cycles for the two.
- Skin tolerance: Milder, fragrance-reduced formulas are worth considering for public washrooms and staff areas with frequent washing.
- Dispenser drip control: A lotion pump with a non-drip head keeps the vanity surface clean and reduces the housekeeping time spent wiping down.
Frequently asked questions about this category
Can hand wash and body lotion be ordered with the same fragrance?
Yes, within a product family the fragrance is matched, which keeps the bathroom experience consistent.
Which formula should go beside the washbasin?
Hand wash belongs at the basin and body lotion on the vanity or in the shower area; the pump type differs between the two.
