New York MagazineThe 10 Very Best Hand SanitizersThe article recommends ten hand sanitizers, including Purell, Germ-X, and Touchland, based on expert advice. It emphasizes that alcohol content of 60-95% is most effective against germs, and that soap and water remain the best option. The list also covers moisturizing, spray, mist, and alcohol-free options.Newsweek21 Hand Sanitizers Found to Have High Levels of Cancer-Causing ChemicalsIndependent laboratory Valisure discovered dangerous levels of the carcinogen benzene in 21 out of 260 batches of hand sanitizer from 168 different brands, exceeding the FDA's temporary limit. The lab has urged the FDA to recall contaminated products and establish stricter daily exposure guidance, noting that most tainted products were manufactured in China and the U.S. Purell was identified as one of the uncontaminated brands available to consumers.PR NewswireHand Sanitizer Market Size by Functional Ingredients to Reach 139 Million Gallons by 2025 - AriztonArizton Advisory & Intelligence reports that the global hand sanitizer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 17% from 2019 to 2025, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and rising health consciousness. The report highlights that demand surged by over 600% in 2020 due to preventive recommendations from organizations like the WHO and US CDC, leading to significant supply chain disruptions. Key players such as Purell, Dettol, and GermX are expected to lose market share to emerging local brands and private labels, which are anticipated to increase their global share from 38% in 2019 to 54% in 2020.Business InsiderAlcohol brands are overhauling their distilleries to help produce hand sanitizer through the coronavirus shortageAlcohol brands are converting their distilleries into hand sanitizer manufacturing centers to address the coronavirus shortage.

Examples include toilet paper sold for $10, Purell for $150, and ammunition for $899. Many states have posted hotlines, but many offenders only apologize and lower prices.Business InsiderAlcohol-free hand sanitizer prices are skyrocketing, but they don't actually work to prevent the coronavirusAlcohol-free hand sanitizers from Purell and Germ-X are selling out and prices are rising, but the CDC warns they are less effective than alcohol-based ones. The CDC recommends sanitizers with 60-95% alcohol, and alcohol-free products use benzalkonium chloride, which may only reduce germs.Business InsiderTito's vodka is warning consumers that it can't be used as a hand-sanitizer replacement as the coronavirus spreads across the USTito's Handmade Vodka warned consumers on Twitter that its 40% alcohol vodka is not an effective hand sanitizer replacement, as the CDC requires at least 60% alcohol. The warning came after users planned to use it due to Purell shortages, with Purell two-packs selling for over $350.Business InsiderHow to find an effective germ-killing hand sanitizer amidst the Purell shortageThe CDC and experts recommend hand sanitizers with 60-95% alcohol content, noting effectiveness drops below 60%. Application matters: rub to coat hands and let dry, and avoid sanitizer on greasy or visibly dirty hands.Business InsiderPurell Hand Sanitizer Sells Out on Amazon Amid Coronavirus FearsPurell hand sanitizer is sold out on Amazon as coronavirus fears rise in the US.
