What Types of PURELL Hand Sanitizer Products Are Available?
The PURELL brand makes several different types of hand-sanitizing products, including:
- PURELL Foaming Hand Sanitizers - A foaming sanitizer allows you to better see where the product has been distributed to ensure you cover the entire surface area of your hands.
- PURELL Gel Hand Sanitizers - Gel sanitizers are generally more hydrating, preventing skin from becoming dry and irritated.
- PURELL Hand Sanitizer Kits - Having a sanitization kit on hand is great on the go. Keep one in your car or travel bag so you always have a germ-killing option.
- Dispensers - Dispensers are a touch-free way to maximize cleanliness in public areas or even in your home.
- Single Wipes - Individually wrapped wipes are ideal for on-the-go personal use.
- Bulk Wipes - Keep a bulk box of hand wipes in your home or office so you’re never without sanitizer.
What’s the Difference Between Liquid (Gel) and Foam PURELL Hand Sanitizer?
There is no difference in the effectiveness of gel versus foam PURELL hand sanitizer when it comes to killing germs. As long as you thoroughly cover your hands, either product will sanitize efficiently. The consideration to keep in mind for both products is the alcohol content. The CDC recommends a 60% or greater ethanol content, which can be found in both gel and foaming hand sanitizer.
There are, however, situations where you may prefer to use one formula over the other. Gel hand sanitizers have a thicker consistency and are not only beneficial to hands, but can be used on items like your keys or steering wheel for added sanitization. Foaming sanitizers are better suited for cleaning hands only. Though they dry quicker, they’re more likely to leave a residue on personal items.
What Scents of PURELL Hand Sanitizer Can I Choose From?
PURELL hand sanitizer comes in several scents, such as:
- Clean - This is the brand’s original, fresh-smelling scent.
- Fresh Citrus - Notes of orange and lemon add mood-boosting aromatherapy.
- Spring Blossom - This floral scent is light and pleasant.
You can also opt for unscented products if you prefer no scent at all.
What Is Green-Certified PURELL Hand Sanitizer?
The PURELL brand led the charge for providing green options for hand sanitizers. PURELL Green-Certified Instant Hand Sanitizer is the world's first hand sanitizer to be certified by EcoLogo™, North America's most established environmental leadership standard and certification mark. This sanitizer option is made with 100% naturally renewable ethanol in a biodegradable formula. The formula isn’t where the eco-friendly benefits end, though. The packaging of this product is recyclable and made with 30% less material while still being durable.
