Why Is It Important To Know The Alcohol Content In Your Hand Sanitizer?

 Most hand sanitizers have alcohol as its  active ingredient. It is what eliminates the germs. So, the more the percentage of ethyl alcohol, more will be its power to  kill germs. Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that you use a sanitizer with at least 62% alcohol content to stay safe from germs. Alcohol as a disinfectant is not something new to mankind. It has been used for centuries- from ancient Egypt right up to the contemporary field of medicine!

How Does Alcohol Kill Bacteria?

Alcohol removes the protective protein sheath of the virus through a process called denaturation, leaving it powerless to cause any serious damage. You get a common cold or flu when the germs on your hands enter the mouth or nose;  by cleaning hands very often you can kill germs outside the body itself and prevent it from getting into your body.

So, make sure that the sanitizer you choose contains the requisite percentage of alcohol to make it effective. So, if you have been buying sanitizers with the best scents without reading the ingredient label, this is a great tip for you. You can indulge in your favorite flavors and stay safe if you choose scented sanitizers with atleast 62 percentage alcohol.
