Hey, that's a great policy (I didn't mean to sound scolding!!). I looked for a pharmacy online that ended in .nz and carried hibiclense... no luck. But sounds like you found some!

Chlorhexidine Gluconate is used in non-dental applications, most notably under the brand names Oronine, Hibiclens, Hibiscrub, ChloraPrep, BIOPATCH, and Exidine. It is used for general skin cleansing, a surgical scrub and a pre-operative skin preparation. Due to other chemicals listed as inactive ingredients, the cleanser solution is not suitable for use as mouthwash. It is often used as a rubbing agent prior to the use of hypodermic or intravenous needles in place of iodine.

The web is brilliant.......
