8 Reasons To Choose Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer

When it comes to shopping for hand sanitizer, over the last year we’ve had a certain criteria ingrained in our memories: we need sanitizer with 60% alcohol content or higher. It’s true. The CDC has confirmed that if your hand sanitizer has less than 60% alcohol content, then you can’t be certain that it’s killing all the germs and viruses that you might come into contact with. But alcohol-based hand sanitizers have a lot of negatives and it can feel like you’re stuck with them – until now. Our 24-hour hand sanitizer is alcohol-free and still kills 99.9% of germs and viruses. Talk about a win-win. Let’s look at the cons of alcohol-based sanitizer and why Just Human is a shoe-in for your new favorite alternative.

What’s are the cons of alcohol-based hand sanitizer?

1. Alcohol-based sanitizer can irritate your skin.
   As mentioned above, using normal hand sanitizer several times a day, several days a week, can do a lot to your skin. It can wash away your skin’s natural oils which can cause dryness, itchiness and even cracked skin if you’re not careful.
2. Alcohol-based sanitizer is highly flammable.
   The more alcohol content in a hand sanitizer, the more flammable it becomes. In fact, it has been documented that if hand sanitizer ignites it can cause burn injuries. And catching fire isn’t a concern you want to add to your busy day. Take it from this man and choose a better alternative. For fire safety tips when using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, check out these tips from the CDC.
3. Alcohol-based sanitizer can be harmful to children.
   As adults, we know not to drink hand sanitizer, but our little ones are a different story. Most alcohol-based hand sanitizers contain a large amount of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol which are toxic if ingested. It’s important to keep these products out of reach of little hands and to supervise when children use them. In addition, alcohol can be harmful to children if too much is absorbed through the skin. Follow these steps to keep your children safe when using alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
4. Alcohol-based sanitizer may not always come from trustworthy sources.
   We want to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe, especially from germs and bacteria. But alcohol-based sanitizers pose an unusual threat – the wrong ingredients can make you sick or worse. That’s why it’s critical to know where your hand sanitizer comes from. There have been many reports of imported hand sanitizers containing methanol, which can be toxic if absorbed through the skin and life-threatening if ingested. If you have concerns about your alcohol-based hand sanitizer, check the FDA’s no-no list.
