The Five Most Trusted Hand Sanitizers

A Word To The Eyes

Amongst the well-known, well-advertised sanitizers on shelves, there come a plethora of genetically labeled sanitizers being sold in the retail and wholesale institutional marketplace for the germ and budget weary private and business consumer.  The market ‘glut’ of sanitizer labels brought the FDA to step in with new regulations for what must appear on the labels.

Retail consumers and the institutional, commercial cleaning market purchasing bulk hand sanitizer solutions should keep these FDA guidelines in mind when perusing and choosing a sanitizer:

• All hand sanitizer manufacturers must be registered with the FDA.
• Companies importing sanitizers do not need to be registered, but the customs agent needs to file the product’s registration number with the FDA when filing the entry to the U.S.
• All retail or bulk hand sanitizer labels must show a statement of identity, which means declaring the product is a sanitizer. On the front principal display panel, the label must cover a minimum of 40% of the package. The company name is usually placed on this principal display panel as well as content quantity.
• The name of the hand sanitizer manufacturer, packer, or distributor needs to be on the package label, though not necessarily on the principal display panel. Also included on the label are the active ingredients, inactive ingredients, expiration date, product purpose, directions for use, product warnings, and contact information of the product manufacturer and distributor.

Ingredient ‘Musts’ One Can Trust

Part of the temporary guidelines for hand sanitizer manufacturers, not officially drug manufacturers, is that the sanitizers produced must include the following active and inactive ingredients:

Active Ingredient:

Ethyl or Ethanol or Isopropyl Alcohol: To be considered an alcohol-based sanitizer that effectively kills viruses and bacteria, the alcohol percentage must be 60 percent or more.

Inactive Ingredients:

Glycerin or Glycerol: A gel that slows the evaporation of the alcohol, ensuring the sanitizer remains on the skin long enough to be effective in killing germs. Glycerin alleviates the side effect of dry skin caused by excessive use of alcohol-based sanitizers.

Hydrogen Peroxide: hydrogen peroxide acts with the active ingredient of alcohol to kill viruses and bacteria.

Sterile (purified) Water: hand sanitizer manufacturers use water as a carrier element.
