Muscat: As part of a strategy to strengthen its hygiene products portfolio to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, National Detergent Company (NDC), maker of the best detergent brand Bahar, has launched Farah hand sanitiser.
The newly launched hand sanitiser, Farah, contains 70 per cent ethyl alcohol and can kill 99.99 per cent of harmful germs. The hand sanitiser has been formulated for both consumers and health workers. NDC, the makers of Bahar, the most trusted brand in Oman, can make two million bottles of hand sanitisers a month.
Considering the fact that most people don’t have access to good quality hand sanitisers during this critical period, NDC decided to launch and make the best quality Farah hand sanitiser accessible to citizens and residents of Oman at an affordable price.
Anish Kumar, Head of Marketing at NDC, said, "Farah hand sanitiser ensures effective hand sanitisation by way of quick and persistent action. As a company in the cleaning and hygiene industry with a focus on wellness, we had the capability to quickly formulate and produce hand sanitisers. Everyone is looking for hand sanitisers and we thought it is our responsibility to make it available in the market. Farah hand sanitisers adhere to local and global health standards. We would like to take this opportunity to urge customers to buy this hygiene product from trusted manufacturers such as NDC.”
“World Health Organization and other medical experts around the world have recommended using alcohol-based hand sanitisers to be effective against the coronavirus. Farah hand sanitser, a product made according to highest quality standards, ensures well above 70 per cent of ethyl alcohol (standard requirement is 60 per cent ethyl alcohol). As we use superior quality of ethyl alcohol it makes the product very safe. The moisturising effect in the formulation makes sure that hands don’t turn dry after use.”
