The $4 Kmart 'must-have' everyone's been waiting for is finally back—get it before it’s gone again!

Many people seem to be on a never-ending quest for the perfect hand sanitiser that combines efficacy with style.

But, for those in the know, Kmart Australia has been a treasure trove for such a find. After months of eager anticipation and frequent sell-outs, the beloved retailer has restocked its shelves with the $4 'must-have' that has shoppers buzzing with excitement.



The item in question is the OXX Bodycare Hand Sanitiser ($4).

These pocket-sized germ fighters have become a cult favourite, not just for their ability to keep hands clean but also for their adorable aesthetic that turns a mundane health essential into a fashion statement.

The OXX Bodycare mini hand sanitisers come in four delightful scents, each housed in a pastel-coloured bottle complete with a handy clip for easy attachment to bags or keychains.

The scents include grapefruit, peach, coconut, and watermelon, each with its own unique pastel hue—pink, pastel orange, mint green, and red.

The design of these sanitisers has been a hit among consumers, with many preferring them over the more expensive Power Mist hand sanitiser, which retails for $10.

The Kmart version's colourful packaging and lower price point have made it a popular 'dupe' for the pricier brand.



Kmart fan Michael Jaimie, after conducting a road test of the sprays, expressed his preference for the Kmart sanitisers, saying, 'I actually think they are cuter than the original.'

Michael's review highlighted the moisturising feel of the sanitisers, although he noted that they didn't feel as high in alcohol content as he expected.

Despite this, he was charmed by the grapefruit scent and the pink container, which he dubbed the 'cutest' of the bunch.

The return of these mini hand sanitisers to Kmart's inventory was met with a viral response, as fans rushed to their nearest store to snag one.

Kmart Australia's social media team even reposted a video showing the misters back in stock, much to the delight of eager customers.



However, not everyone has been lucky enough to get their hands on these sought-after items. Some shoppers have reported going to great lengths, visiting multiple Kmart locations only to find the shelves empty.

'I literally have been to seven Kmarts in Western Australia, and I still can't find them,' lamented one shopper.

'They are sold out everywhere,' another cried.

A third added: 'My Kmart never has any stock.'

Kmart's social media team has been responsive to these concerns, reassuring customers with messages of apology and promises of restocking.

'We're so sorry. We've seen lots of popular lines sell quick! They'll be back soon, thanks for your patience,' they replied to the comments of disappointed shoppers.

I am assuming that because of the ingredients they are more a moisturiser than an actual hand sanitiser that will kill germs immediately.

Made in China, so not for me.

There are many hand sanitisers available that are made in Australia. Maybe they’re not all cutesy with a clip to hang onto a bag or whatever, but the whole point is skin sanitising. Available in gels and sprays.
 
Now answer this honestly.

Did you religiously use hand sanitiser before the advent of COVID-19?

Unless you were engaged in the medical and health field, food preparation or any other occupation that requires a high level of hygiene, the answer would be NO!

Yes, we used hand sanitizer when we were out & about. Most of my friends did so the arrival of Covid didn’t make a difference.
