PURELL hand sanitizer bottles: gel and foam for the counter

How to choose a PURELL hand sanitizer pump bottle

Four lines of hand sanitizer, five sizes of pump bottle, one question: how many hands pass this spot in a day?

Start with the formula and the skin

PURELL Advanced is the 70% ethyl alcohol gel that hospitals use: it kills 99.99% of the most common germs that may cause illness and carries four skin conditioning ingredients, so it is clinically proven to maintain skin health with repeated use and is the right hand sanitizer for the kitchen counter, the office desk and the classroom. Naturals makes the same claim with plant-based alcohol and essential oils, in a gentle bottle that looks at home next to the fruit bowl. Prime Defense raises the alcohol to 85% for the weeks when the family keeps bringing germs home. The 2in1 Moisturizing hand sanitizer doubles the moisture for skin that sanitizes all day, and the Soothing Gel adds aloe and vitamin E. The Design Series bottle wears a printed pattern for the counter you do not want to hide it on.

Pick the pump bottle size by traffic

An 8 fl oz pump bottle serves a desk or a bathroom; the 12 fl oz pump bottle is the household standard and ships in 4- and 12-packs for the whole house or the whole office; the 1 L, 1.5 L and 2 L pump bottles sit at reception, in the break room and on the teacher's desk, and the 2 L is also the refill for the small pump bottles, so one case covers a dozen stations. Foam versions in 10 fl oz and 17.4 fl oz spread thin and dry faster; they suit the people who dislike the feel of gel. In high-traffic environments, areas like a lobby or a cafeteria, a wall dispenser with a sealed refill costs less per dose than any bottle; the dispensers have their own line.

What the packaging promises

Every PURELL hand sanitizer bottle is dermatologist tested, dye free and paraben free, with healthy skin as the design brief: the conditioning ingredients leave hands feeling soft, not stripped, and the result is a sanitizer people reach for twenty times a day without a second thought. The pump is convenient, accessible with one hand, and dispenses the same dose every time. Please note the label: rub enough to wet both hands until dry, about 20 seconds; if hands dry in under ten, use more. Hand hygiene is the cheapest illness prevention there is, and a quality pump bottle at the first stop supports it immediately.

How we ship and support the bottles

Each pump bottle ships from the partner store in its case packaging, with the pump locked for transit; a 12-pack weighs about 12 pounds and a 2 L case about 10. Note that hand sanitizer is a flammable liquid for shipping purposes, so large cases travel ground. Questions about a size, a formula or a mechanism that stopped pumping go to our contact page; for the original order, delivery and returns, the partner store page has the experience and the order on file.
