What are the Differences Between Alcohol-based and Alcohol-free Wholesale Hand Sanitizer?
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer will contain one of two active ingredients; alcohol or isopropanol. Both are effective antiseptic products that kill germs and bacteria. They share many of the same properties. One distinct property that they both share is that they are highly flammable. The FDA recommends that hand sanitizers should contain 60%-95% alcohol for maximum efficacy. This high concentration has long raised concerns in both the media and the health care community. Hospitals and other facilities need to consult their local fire authorities when planning the installation of alcohol-based dispensers.
A common side-effect often associated with the repeated use of alcohol-based wholesale hand sanitizers is the dryness and cracking that it can cause to your hands. This occurs because the alcohol in these bulk hand sanitizers strips away oils in your skin that retain moisture. The temporary absence of these oils can lead to increased skin irritation on the hands. It can even lead to symptoms of dermatitis. Another complaint is that the alcohol found in this type of wholesale hand sanitizer is damaging to floors and walls; often there can be a small drip from the dispenser that over time can damage some surfaces. The alcohol can stain the areas where dispensers may drip or leak.
Alcohol-based products have long been the recommended course of action (second to hand washing) by leading global health organizations such as the CDC, WHO, and the FDA. It is still the most used sanitizer in hospitals and other health care facilities.
Alcohol-free wholesale hand sanitizer, on the other hand, comes in a water-based foam. These foam hand sanitizers contain the active ingredient Benzalkonium Chloride, a quaternary ammonium. Unlike alcohol-based products, alcohol-free bulk hand sanitizers often contain less than a 0.1% concentration of Benzalkonium. They still provide the same level of protection as alcohol-based products. The rest of the solution is mainly water and will often be enhanced with skin conditioners such as vitamin E and green tea extract. It’s non-flammable, and the low concentrations of Benzalkonium make it relatively non-toxic. However, these products are all recommended for external use only.
Alcohol-free bulk hand sanitizers entered the market to address the concerns and complaints of gels. In many ways, they have succeeded. Typically, these solutions are much easier on the hands. They also pose much less of a threat in cases of accidental ingestion. Hand sanitizers without alcohol are a low fire hazard and are non-damaging to surfaces. One other clear benefit is the extended protection that occurs. Alcohol-based wholesale bulk hand sanitizer’s ability to kill bacteria ends once the product has dried on the skin, but benzalkonium-based products continue to provide protection well after the solution has dried.
One possible drawback with the non-alcohol bulk hand sanitizer is that they most often come in the form of a foam. While this usually results in a more pleasing experience for the user, it does require a special foaming mechanism in the dispenser. This can make converting from a non-foaming system cost-prohibitive as it would need new hardware to be installed.
