What you should know about hand sanitizers
Hand sanitizers are hand antiseptic applied to the hands mainly to remove common disease-causing organisms, referred to as pathogens. Hand sanitizers come in different forms. Usually, they can come as foam, gel, or even liquid. The most common in the current market is the gel and liquid hand sanitizers. Hand sanitizers are seen as a reasonable alternative when soap and water are not available to wash the hand. They are usually used as a means of infection control in various settings. The current global pandemic has further exposed people to the importance of hand sanitizers, as it is seen as one of the effective ways of preventing the fast-rising coronavirus.
There are two main types of hand sanitizers, based on the ingredients used – the alcohol-based sanitizer and the alcohol-free sanitizer. The alcohol-based hand sanitizers contain between 60% and 95% alcohol, which usually is in the form of ethanol, n-propanol or isopropanol, depending on the hand sanitizer. At those alcohol-concentrated percentages, the hand sanitizer denatures proteins, which in turn effect neutralize some types of microorganisms. The other type of sanitizer, the alcohol-free sanitizers are mainly based on disinfectants, which include the likes of antimicrobial agents and benzalkonium chloride. While the activities of disinfectants are considered immediate and persistent, alcohol-based sanitizers are generally more effective. Some hand sanitizers also have emollients like glycerin, which soothe the skin and fragrance.
Hand Sanitizers: Safety concerns
World Health Organization and various Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have advised the use of alcohol-based sanitizers over alcohol-free sanitizers. The overall use of alcohol-free sanitizers has been vastly limited, chiefly because most health agencies are also not comfortable with the chemical contents of the alcohol-free sanitizers. The main contents of alcohol-free sanitizers – the disinfectants and antimicrobials – have been said to potentially contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance.
What to consider when picking a hand sanitizer
Consider the Percentage of Alcohol – If you are looking to purchase a hand sanitizer to protect yourself from infections, then it is always advisable you go for one that is alcohol-based. To neutralize most infection-causing germs, it is essential to go for a hand sanitizer that has a minimum of 60 percent alcohol, as anything less than this may not be as effective for many germs. Hand sanitizers with less than 60 percent could only reduce the rate of growth of such germs and might not be effective enough to kill them. Hence, it essential to know the difference between alcohol-based and alcohol-free hand sanitizers. These are usually highlighted on the packs on these sanitizers and you can expect the alcohol percent level to be highlighted.
Consider the Brand – The sudden upsurge in the demand of hand sanitizers instigated a lot of brands to go into producing various types and class of hand sanitizers, some of which are not even approved. Hence, it is important to note the brand you are going for. Make enquires about the brand before you purchase one.
