10 Reasons PURELL® Hand Sanitizer Should Be the Top Choice for Classrooms 

8/5/2024

The PURELL brand has learned a thing or two since bringing hand sanitizer to the world. We know if students don't like a hand sanitizer, they simply won't use it (or they'll be quick to complain about it). Here's why PURELL hand sanitizer should be listed by name on back-to-school supply lists. Pay close attention because you'll be quizzed at the end. 

10. No tequila smell. Sure, we hope students don't know what tequila smells like ... but safe to say they think it smells bad.  

9. No sticky hands. PURELL hand sanitizer has the perfect balance of ingredients, so hands feel refreshed, not icky.  

8. Maintains skin health. Remember that perfect balance of ingredients? They are key to our hand sanitizer being formulated to keep hands from drying out, even with regular use.  

7. Proven to kill germs with 2X sanitizing strength.1 Some other brands require more hand sanitizer to kill the same amount of germs. 

6. Clearly labeled with lot number and expiration date. Beware: There may still be hand sanitizer that was over-purchased during the pandemic floating around or in the back of storage closets. Many of those bottles are now long expired but have no date. Or they could be part of the hundreds of hand sanitizers added to FDA warning lists for unsafe ingredients. Meanwhile, with PURELL hand sanitizer, you can be confident with what you have. 

5. Earth-conscious. Made with naturally renewable, plant-based alcohol. Most formulations are validated through third-party environmental certifications.  

4. Includes denaturants (the stuff that makes it taste bad) to discourage misuse.  

3. Most trusted brand of hand hygiene products in hospitals,2 so you know it's up to the challenge in schools. 

2. Tabletop bottles available in several high-quality varieties, including original PURELL Advanced Refreshing Gel, PURELL Soothing Gel, and PURELL NATURALS.

1. Manufactured by a Family-Owned, Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women's Business Enterprise National council (WEBENC).   It’s no wonder PURELL Hand Sanitizer is America’s #1 brand.3

Ok it's quiz time. Which brand of hand sanitizer are you going to choose for back to school? 

(Pssssst, it's PURELL brand. Now go get your A+.) 

1. In a comparative study, half the amount of PURELL Advanced kills as many germs as other national hand sanitizer brands containing 63% or less alcohol.

2. Results based on a nationwide online survey of 150 hand hygiene and surface product key decision makers in acute care market, October 2023; MR#006-133.

3. Circana Total U.S. - Multi Outlet. For 52 Week Period Ending 02/11/2024, Unit Sales, Total Hand Sanitizer Liquids.
