Frequently Asked Questions about Hand Sanitizer

What types of hand sanitizer are there?

The hand sanitizers available at Quill comes in three different types:

• Gel: Hand sanitizer gel is a thick liquid that users spread over hands like lotion until it is absorbed.
• Foam: Foam hand sanitizer starts out liquid and becomes frothy when dispensed. It can also be used like a lotion. Gel and foam options air-dry and don’t require towels.
• Liquid: Liquid hand sanitizer is a thin, pourable formula that spreads quickly over hands. It has a watery consistency, making it ideal for spray bottles or refill dispensers.

What are the benefits of hand sanitizer?

The hand sanitizer formulas available at Quill come with a variety of skin emollients, conditioners or moisturizers that not only maintain but also boost hand health, so they’re safe to use throughout the day. Two common sanitizer ingredients for nourishing the hands include aloe vera, a natural emollient that retains natural skin oils, and vitamin E, a moisturizer that absorbs into the skin.

While hand soap and water are an excellent way to practice good hand hygiene, washing your hands many times a day may deplete your skin of the natural oils it needs to remain healthy.

Beyond the hand-conditioning elements of sanitizer formulas, users may find the many fragrances of sanitizers appealing, or prefer unscented versions.
