PURELL® Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer


An Introduction to “The Science Behind PURELL® Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer” from
GOJO Scientists

Ounce for ounce, nothing is more effective at killing germs. Or protecting skin.

There’s a perception that all instant hand sanitizers are created equal. It’s just not true.

While some suggest that a high level of alcohol is the key to a higher level of efficacy, science indicates otherwise. Alcohol, in fact, reaches a point of diminishing return at higher levels.1, 2, 3 And too much can be hard on skin. In reality, it’s actually the total formulation that truly determines efficacy.

As a company dedicated to the science of skin care, we knew we could formulate a product that delivered unprecedented efficacy in a skin-friendly formulation without excessive alcohol. And we did. The result is a product that ounce for ounce outperforms other hand sanitizers and kills 99.99% of bacteria on hands,4 not just in the lab, while maintaining skin health.
