Types of Hand Sanitizers at WellBefore

Hand sanitizers come in different formats to suit various needs and preferences. WellBefore offers gel-based, foaming, wipes, sprays, and more.

1. Gel Hand Sanitizers

Gel hand sanitizers, including antibacterial hand sanitizer formulas, are the most common format, offering quick-drying protection that kills 99.9% of germs. They spread easily and absorb fast without leaving a sticky residue. Ideal for personal use, offices, and healthcare settings. 

2. Foaming Hand Sanitizers  

Foaming hand sanitizers dispense as a light foam that covers hands evenly with less product. They feel gentler on skin and are popular in restrooms, breakrooms, and family settings. Our Guardelle Water-Based Foaming Hand Sanitizer is a customer favorite.

3. Hand Sanitizing Wipes

Hand sanitizer wipes offer the convenience of cleaning and sanitizing in one step. They're perfect for wiping down hands, surfaces, and high-touch areas. Great for travel, desks, and quick clean-ups when soap and water aren't available. We carry Purell sanitizing wipes, McKesson wipes, and more. 

4. Hand Sanitizer Sprays

Hand sanitizer spray formats offer quick and even coverage that dry fast. They're easy to apply and work well for sanitizing both hands and surfaces. A good option for those who don't like the feel of gels or foams.

1. Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 70% alcohol are recommended by the CDC for effective germ protection. They kill most bacteria and viruses quickly and are the standard choice for healthcare, food service, and everyday use. At WellBefore, you'll find options with 60-80% ethyl alcohol for maximum effectiveness.

2. Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizers

Alcohol-free hand sanitizers are ideal for sensitive skin, children, or environments where alcohol-based products aren't preferred. They use alternative antimicrobial agents like benzalkonium chloride to kill germs without the drying effects of alcohol. Explore our alcohol-free options, including the best-seller SafeHands Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer.

3. Hand Sanitizers with Aloe and Moisturizers

Frequent sanitizing can dry out hands. However, hand sanitizers with added moisturizers help maintain soft skin while still providing germ protection. Our collection includes best-sellers like McKesson Premium Hand Sanitizer with Aloe for effective sanitizing without the dryness. 

4. Travel Hand Sanitizers

Travel hand sanitizers, including small hand sanitizer bottles, come in compact and portable sizes that fit easily in bags, pockets, and car compartments. They're perfect for airports, commutes, shopping trips, and anywhere you need quick hand hygiene on the go. You can browse travel-friendly hand sanitizer options at WellBefore. 

Tips for Choosing the Right Hand Sanitizer

Finding the right hand sanitizer depends on where and how you'll use it. Here are some tips to help you choose.

1. Check Alcohol Content

For effective germ protection, choose alcohol based hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol. Products with 60-80% alcohol are considered most effective against bacteria and viruses.

2. Consider Sensitive Skin

If alcohol-based products irritate your skin, try alcohol free hand sanitizer or options with added aloe and moisturizers. Foaming formats also tend to be gentler.

3. Pick the Right Format

• Gel sanitizer works well for personal use and dispensers

• Foam sanitizer is great for high-traffic areas and families

• Sanitizer wipes are perfect for travel and surface cleaning

• Spray sanitizer offers quick and even application

4. Think About Setting and Quantity

For homes and personal use, smaller bottles work fine. For offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and businesses, consider bulk hand sanitizer options available at WellBefore to save money and stay stocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do hand sanitizers kill norovirus?

Most hand sanitizers are not fully effective against norovirus because it's a non-enveloped virus. Washing hands with soap and water is the best defense against norovirus. However, alcohol based hand sanitizers still help reduce the spread of many other germs and are useful when handwashing isn't possible.

2. Is hand sanitizer better than soap?

Soap and water are more effective at removing all types of germs, dirt, and chemicals from hands. However, hand sanitizers are a good alternative when you can't wash your hands.

3. How much hand sanitizer should you use?

You should use enough hand sanitizer to cover all surfaces of your hands, typically a dime to a nickel-sized amount. Rub your hands together as you apply sanitizer, covering the fronts and backs of your hands, between your fingers, and around your nails. Keep rubbing until completely dry, about 20 seconds.

4. Can hand sanitizer expire?

Yes. Hand sanitizers have a shelf life, typically 2-3 years from the manufacturing date. Over time, the alcohol content can evaporate, making the product less effective. Check the expiration date on its packaging. Make sure to store sanitizers in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.

5. What percentage of alcohol should hand sanitizer have?

The CDC recommends hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol for effective germ killing. Products with 60-80% alcohol concentration are considered most effective. Always check the label to ensure the product meets this standard.

6. Is foaming hand sanitizer as effective as gel?

Yes, as long as both contain the same alcohol percentage. Foaming and gel hand sanitizers work equally well when they have at least 60% alcohol. The difference is mainly in feel and application preference.
