"In times of disaster, the first major problem is 'bathing.' When you can't shower for several days, those with sensitive skin face particularly severe difficulties. Sweat and dirt remaining on the skin can quickly worsen eczema and itching.

For those with sensitive skin, maintaining hygiene even in harsh conditions is the best way to avoid trouble. To protect the skin health of not only yourself but your entire family, the 'all-in-one shampoo bar' is the savior you'll want to keep in your emergency kit. Why is a 'bar' (solid) more suitable than liquid soap? We'll explain the reasons in detail.

Hygiene Issues During Disasters

Earthquakes, floods, typhoons... In disaster situations, hygiene management is often overlooked.

No Water Available

In situations with water outages or supply restrictions, water cannot be used freely. Bathing, of course, becomes difficult, and even washing hands is a challenge.

Worsening Hygiene Conditions

If you can't keep your body clean, the risk of skin problems and infections increases. For children and the elderly in particular, poor hygiene directly impacts their health.

Stress in Evacuation Centers

In crowded evacuation centers, maintaining a hygienic environment is even more crucial. Keeping your body clean also contributes to mental stability.

Bathing with Limited Water

In a disaster, water is a precious resource. While prioritizing drinking water, hygiene must also be maintained.

Water Priority

Drinking water, cooking water, toilet water... Water available for bathing is limited. That's why it's necessary to devise ways to stay clean with less water.

Wiping the Body is Not Enough

Wiping the body with wet wipes does not completely remove sebum and sweat. Especially in summer or when sweating, cleansing is necessary.

All-in-one shampoo bars are phase-free products.

Advantages of All-in-One Shampoo Bar

Especially in times of disaster, an all-in-one shampoo bar can be incredibly useful.

Water Saving

It rinses off with less water than liquid shampoo. If you use a foaming net, even less is needed. You can save precious water while staying clean.

One Product Does It All

Hair, face, body – all can be washed with this one product. You don't need to stock multiple bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and facial cleanser.

Long-Term Storage Possible

Unlike liquid bottles, there's no worry about leakage. It's resistant to moisture and can be stored for a long time if kept properly.

Usable by the Whole Family

Its gentle formula is suitable for everyone from babies to adults. Since the whole family can share it, stockpiling becomes simpler.

Reasons to Include in Your Emergency Kit

There are good reasons to include an all-in-one shampoo bar in your emergency kit.

Light and Compact

Only 80g per bar. It's one-fifth the weight of liquid bottles and doesn't take up much space. You can effectively use the limited space in your backpack.

No Leaks

Since it's solid, there's no worry about liquid leaking inside your emergency kit and soiling other disaster supplies. It's safe.

No Electricity or Water Needed

Even if electricity and water are cut off, you can use it with just a small amount of water. It's useful precisely in situations where infrastructure is down.

Actual Stockpiling Methods

Here's how to prepare an all-in-one shampoo bar as a disaster preparedness item.

In Your Emergency Backpack

Place one TANE all-in-one shampoo bar and a foaming net together. If you keep the all-in-one shampoo bar in an aluminum case, there's no need to worry about soiling other items.

For Home Evacuation

Keep 1-2 spares for evacuation at home. It's reassuring to have them prepared according to the number of family members.

In the Car Too

Keep one in the car in case of overnight stays or evacuation by car. Since it's compact, it won't get in the way inside the car.

Regular Rotation

Disaster preparedness items are not a "set it and forget it" thing. It's recommended to regularly check them, use older items for daily use, and restock with new ones.

Summary: Daily Use Becomes Disaster Preparedness

The most ideal disaster preparedness item is something that can be used daily.

If you're accustomed to using an all-in-one shampoo bar daily, you'll feel more secure in an emergency. You'll know how to use it, and the entire family can use it.

Keep items you use daily in your emergency kit. This way, regular rotation becomes natural.

Disasters can happen at any time. That's why daily preparedness is crucial.

Why not add a TANE all-in-one shampoo bar to your disaster preparedness kit to protect your family's safety and health?
