What is the active ingredient in PURELL?
Answer:

The active ingredient in PURELL is ethyl alcohol - sometimes referred to as "mother nature's disenfectant." Ethyl alcohol is classified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Category I active ingredient, which means it's generally recognized as safe and effective when used as directed.

When should PURELL be used?
Answer:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be used when hands are not visibly soiled. If hands are visibly soiled, use soap and water.

Is alcohol drying to the skin?
Answer:

Clinical studies have shown that a properly formulated alcohol-based hand sanitizer with emollients (such as PURELL® Instant Hand Sanitizer) is actually better tolerated than soap-and-water handwashing - not drying and irritating.
