Why alcohol free hand sanitiser is better than alcohol based

When it comes to hand sanitizers, there are two main types: alcohol-based and alcohol-free. While both types of hand sanitizers are effective at killing germs and pathogens, there are some compelling reasons why alcohol-free hand sanitizers may be better than alcohol-based ones. Here are some reasons why:
  • They are less drying to the skin than alcohol-based sanitizers.
  • They are safe for children to use.
  • They are safe for use around flames and heat sources.
  • They are effective against a broad range of germs and pathogens.
  • They are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.

While alcohol-based hand sanitizers are effective at killing some germs, they can be drying to the skin and may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Alcohol-free hand sanitizers are a good alternative for those with sensitive skin or for use around children. Additionally, multiple studies have found that alcohol-free hand sanitisers work just as well at disinfecting against COVID-19 as alcohol-based products and are also effective against pathogens like norovirus which alcohol products are ineffective against.
