If you thought scoring tickets to your favorite music festival were hard, try scoring hand sanitizer these days. Stores are shopped out of antibacterial hand sanitizer, and availability isn’t much better online. Amazon still has hand sanitizer available as of this writing (see latest stock here), though quantities are limited. Some of Amazon’s options are also not shipping until late May or early June.
If you need hand sanitizer right away, we’ve found six other sites online that have sanitizer in stock and shipping immediately. All of our picks meet the CDC-recommended guidelines, which encourage the use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) with at least 60% ethanol content.
Hand sanitizer is a hot commodity these days, as people try to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Our suggestion: stock up while you can and shop quickly before quantities run out.
1. Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Hand Sanitizer
Known for their soaps and bath products, Sabon is stepping up with the production of hand sanitizers too. This is the first time the company has made hand sanitizers.
This one contains 60% alcohol to kill germs and is infused with vitamin E beads to protect the skin, and propylene glycol for a boost of hydration. The formula contains no harsh chemicals and is completely sulfate-free and paraben-free, making this suitable for people with sensitive skin too.
It comes in a soothing patchouli lavender vanilla scent, which is surprisingly refreshing (note: the custom scent will leave your hands lightly fragranced).
This is a 200ml bottle of hand sanitizer, and comes with a pump for easy dispersing. Use this around the house, or use it to refill your small, reusable hand sanitizer bottles.
