■ Now More Than Ever: "Proper Handwashing"
Our hygiene awareness has greatly improved since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the upcoming season bringing more opportunities to go out into crowds, such as during Golden Week, the importance of "proper handwashing" is once again drawing attention.
While handwashing methods became established during the pandemic, there are actually "hard-to-wash areas" such as fingertips and between fingers, and small scratches from chapped hands can trap dirt, making it difficult to wash thoroughly.
Therefore, Moraine is launching a project to allow people to actually experience products trusted in medical settings in their daily lives at home and in facilities.
By visualizing the "quality" of handwashing and sharing professional knowledge, we aim to make "proper handwashing," which allows everyone to protect themselves and their loved ones, a new norm.
■ Overview of "Moraine Hand Hygiene Ambassadors 2026"
Ambassadors selected through public recruitment will utilize Moraine's professional products, provided monthly, for three months from May to July, and will share their experiences and changes through SNS.
【3-Month Program Content】
-
May: "Hand Soap that Protects Skin While Washing" (Gentle Cleanser: Barrier cleansing to prevent chapped hands)
-
June: "Visualizing Correct Handwashing Techniques" (DigiCoach: Skill improvement through a residue detection tool)
-
July: "Hand Care Emphasizing Barrier Function" (ProCare: Maintaining and establishing healthy hands)
■ Collaboration with Specialist "Shinji@InfectionNurseman"
We welcome "Shinji-san," who communicates infection control knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner, as an advisor for the project. He will provide technical guidance to ambassadors and engage in joint awareness activities on SNS. By combining specialized knowledge and practical experience, we will disseminate highly reliable information.
＜Comment from Shinji-san＞
"Busyness" and "chapped hands" are major obstacles to compliance in hand hygiene at home and in facilities, aren't they? This project is a great opportunity to update such "difficult but correct" hand hygiene into a "habit you'll want to continue happily" with professional knowledge and digital power. Please apply to be an ambassador and master hand hygiene to protect yourself and your loved ones!
Applications open from April 9th! Follow Moraine's official Instagram account and send your passionate thoughts via DM.
