What do chemical disinfectants do?

Enhance the growth of skin cells
Kill bacteria and other pathogens
Moisturize the skin
Promote hair growth

The correct answer is: Kill bacteria and other pathogens

Chemical disinfectants are substances specifically formulated to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens on surfaces and tools. In the context of esthetics, they play a crucial role in maintaining a safe and sanitary environment, especially in beauty salons and spas where skin treatments and procedures are performed. By effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms, these disinfectants help prevent infections and ensure the health and safety of both clients and practitioners. The other options do not accurately describe the function of chemical disinfectants. While enhancing skin cell growth, moisturizing the skin, and promoting hair growth are important aspects of esthetics, they pertain to different products and processes rather than the disinfecting action that is vital for sanitation in a beauty setting.
