This is the best hand sanitizer I have used. It has a high alcohol content to clean your hands, essential oils give it a pleasant scent and keep it from drying your hands. I keep it in my vehicle to use after each errand I run. As a retired nurse I know how to properly remove gloves to prevent contaminating my hands. My observation of their use in the general public has made me aware that most people are contaminating more than preventing germ spread. Sanitizing your hands before you go into a place of business and when you come out is a much better option the gloves.
