Sustainability is our legacy and our commitment to the future. That’s why we committed to being first to bring a green certified instant hand sanitizer to market. Professionals and consumers trust the PURELL brand and our more than 20 years of insights and experience with innovative hand sanitizer solutions. GOJO microbiologists are at the forefront of epidemiological studies and formulation development. And we actively engage with thought leaders in academia and public health to understand and respond to current and emerging health threats. And Finally…Alcohol is Safe and Effective
People count on PURELL Green Certified—and original PURELL Instant Hand Sanitizer—to safeguard their health and well-being. It’s an honor and a responsibility we take seriously. GOJO invented the hand sanitizer category and set the standard for germ-killing effectiveness. Our alcohol hand sanitizers have been formulated for frequent and repeated use and tested in a variety of field situations, including healthcare, education, foodservice and general workplaces. All yield industry leading outcomes. PURELL Green Certified products use a 70% alcohol formula in compliance with international fire codes, and multiple clinical studies have been conducted to support its efficacy. Alcohol in PURELL applied to the skin evaporates quickly and easily, killing 99.99% of most common germs that may cause illness. The use of alcohol as a base ingredient in hand sanitizers is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) because of the strong scientific data that supports its safety and efficacy. Other trusted organizations sharing the viewpoint of the CDC as it concerns the efficacy and effectiveness of alcohol include the World Health Organization (WHO), the Canadian Public Health Agency and the U.S. Green Building Council. And finally, ethyl alcohol (used in PURELL Green Certified) is classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Category I active ingredient, which means it is “generally recognized as safe and effective for the claimed therapeutic indication.” In short, PURELL Green Certified and original formula PURELL Instant Hand Sanitizer with alcohol are proven mild, safe and effective when used as directed.
