Please review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), to learn more about our company and our liquid hand sanitizer products.
About Our Products
Do you make a liquid or a gel hand sanitizer?
While most are more familiar with gel versions, our liquid product works just as well. The liquid version tend to be applied easier using a spray bottle or automatic touchless dispenser.
See the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended Handrub Formulations HERE.
See the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) temporary policy for preparing alcohol-based hand sanitizer products HERE.
Does your sanitizer have any odors or scent?
It is not a bad smell, but you will notice a sweet alcohol aroma from the product inside the bottle. This is a quick-evaporating formula, and there is typically no scent left after applying.
UPDATE: In an effort to provide the best product possible for our customers, we have adjusted our formula to include a NEW IMPROVED LEMON SCENT! This works in harmony with the denatured alcohol to provide a better user experience.
How is the alcohol denatured?
What is the consistency of your hand sanitizer?
Our gel formula also follows FDA and WHO recommendations, but does include a natural polymer to thicken the product more like you’re used to using, and leaves your hands with a lotion-like feel.
Is your hand sanitizer safe on my hands?
Do your products contain Methanol?
There is a lot of confusion about this topic, and we encourage you to read our detailed post on the topic HERE.
Will this kill coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Why 80% Ethyl Alcohol?
Higher or lower than 80% concentration of alcohol both have disadvantages. The presence of water to dilute the Ethyl alcohol to exactly 80% is a crucial factor in destroying or inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Water acts as a catalyst and plays a key role in denaturing the proteins of vegetative cell membranes. 80% ethyl alcohol penetrates the cell wall more completely than lesser or higher percentages.
The WHO recommended formulation for local production outlines what guidelines manufacturers must follow in order to state that they meet WHO recommended levels. You can find more information about it HERE.
Can this be used as a surface disinfectant?
Surface disinfectants are highly-needed but in short supply. When an EPA-registered disinfectant is not readily available, the CDC recommends to use:
- Diluted bleach solution
- 70% or higher Alcohol Solution
- Diluted bleach mixtures are only effective for disinfection up to 24 hours after being made.
- Why constantly make small daily bleach batches and worry your team is mixing them correctly?
Our 80% Ethyl Alcohol solution can last 2-3 years while maintaining its disinfecting properties – plus it’s safe on your hands!
You can review the EPA’s recomendations for disinfecting and the use of alternatives HERE.

Why does hand sanitizer cost more now?
- The cost of bottles, raw materials and processing have all greatly increased during the pandemic = supply and demand
- With the shortage of small bottles and sprayers, most are selling product sizes larger than you were buying in the store before. Larger sizes do cost more.
- But, if you divide the larger sizes by the smaller size you were buying before, you’ll see the cost is actually in-line…
However, as we have increased our manufacturing efficiencies and continued to refine our process, our costs have come down and we’re passing those savings on to you!
- Our 2-pack of quart bottles = 8 (8oz) bottles. That would be only $2.50/bottle!
- Our 1 case (5-pack) of quart bottles = 20 (8oz) bottles. That would be only $2.00/bottle!
- Our 1 gallon jug = 16 (8oz) bottles. That would be only $1.75/bottle!
- Our 1 case (4-pack) of gallon jugs = 64 (8oz) bottles. That would be only $1.50/bottle!
Make sure you shop around! As with anything you buy there are differences in prices. Not everyone making hand sanitizer is experienced or doing it properly or efficiently – and that can make it cost more for you.
What size bottles do you make?
- 2oz travel spray bottles
- 8oz spray/pump bottles
- 32oz bottles
- 64oz half gallon jugs
- 128oz gallon jugs
Do you offer pumps or sprayers?
