Top 5 Qualities in Effective Hand Sanitizers

How do you identify a hand sanitizer that is able to eliminate harmful germs and bacteria? Experts recommend 5 qualities in the best hand sanitizers:

#1. Contains 70-80% Ethyl-Alcohol

A virus’ central control, biomembrane, is protected by biophospholipid molecules. These molecules give a virus it’s structure.

Ethanol’s lipid solubility uniquely bypasses these models molecules, destroying it’s biomembrane. Studies show 60% ethanol renders a virus inactive, but does not kill it. Our pharmacist states, “Hand sanitizers must contain 70-80% ethyl-alcohol to remove viruses from surfaces and objects.”

#2. Made in a Licensed Pharmacy

Anyone can purchase isopropyl alcohol, but only licensed pharmacies can purchase medical-grade ethyl-alcohol. Look for “190 Proof, 80% Ethyl-Alcohol” to ensure your sanitizer is medical-grade.

#3. Made with USP Ingredients

The USP, or United States Pharmacopeia, is a non-profit organization that sets industry standards for purity and potency. Hand sanitizers made with USP-approved ingredients are highly effective, supporting a 5-7 second kill rate of harmful germs and bacteria.

#4. Provide Documentation

Manufactures of hand sanitizes should disclose batch reports. Click here to see the documentation from our USP Hand Sanitizer as an example.

#5. Follows WHO/FDA Guidelines

High quality hand sanitizers follow the guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and USP
