1. Dettol Antibacterial

One of the most popular antiseptics that can be found in stores. In the first place in the composition, as befits a hand sanitizer, ethyl alcohol. There is also a version with an additional component – aloe, it costs a little more and has a green label.

Many buyers note a strong smell of alcohol after use. But it lasts no more than a minute – it instantly disappears.

It is interesting what the British company Reckitt Benckiser, little known in Our Country, does. However, the gel itself is produced in Thailand. It also follows from the reviews that if you carry the product constantly with you, for example, in a bag, it becomes more liquid. The manufacturer recommends using a serving of 1-2 teaspoons at a time.

Main characteristics

2. Harmony of Body with green tea extract

Despite the poetic name, this hand sanitizer is -made. In addition to the disinfecting properties, manufacturers have added green tea extract, thanks to which the antiseptic has not only a pleasant aroma, but also the ability to moisturize the skin.

As you know, green tea has long been considered an excellent remedy for skin care. The plant contains minerals and vitamins. In addition, green tea has the ability to eliminate age spots and brighten the skin. True, it is unlikely that it will be possible to notice a cosmetic effect on the hands, after all, the component is added to the antiseptic in order to neutralize the negative effects of the gel.

The manufacturer insists that the green tea extract in the sanitizer soothes and heals damaged hand skin, and also helps to soften it. But it is unlikely that the tool can replace hand cream. But for processing – that’s it!

3. Vitex Perfect handles

The Belarusian cosmetics manufacturer also presented its version of a hand sanitizer. Ladies know that the products of this company correspond to the golden formula of the best product in terms of price / quality. Moreover, the cost is often even lower than the expected limit. By the way, an interesting fact: in the homeland of this brand, cosmetics do not have many fans.

Otherwise, the product, as expected, allows you to disinfect the skin of your hands. Aloe extract added for softening effect.

Main characteristics

4. Clins Antiseptic

Firstly, the volume of this product attracts attention – 250 ml. Usually liquid soap is sold in these. So this sanitizer is unlikely to be thrown into a bag for everyday use. Although nothing prevents you from pouring into a smaller container and carrying it with you. But it’s convenient to put it somewhere in a passageway so that people can use it.

Another thing is that sanitizers in public places usually have a handle that you can press with your elbow. This is not provided for here. In the composition of ethyl alcohol denatured (70%), water, propylene glycol, salicylic acid, carbomer, triethanolamine. Let’s take a look at each of the components.

• Ethanol – recognized by WHO as the most effective antiseptic.
• Propylene glycol – a viscous base, which, along with glycerin, is used in cosmetics.
• Salicylic acid – it has a weak antibacterial effect, but it is mainly used to make the skin keratinized.
• Carbomer – Another substance from cosmetics, which is added for viscosity.
• Triethanolamine – used for foaming, but is an allergen.
• Also contains vitamin E and extract aloe vera.

Deionized water contains no salts at all, it is a highly purified liquid. It is used in pharmaceuticals.

Colloidal silver is tiny particles of a metal known to kill bacteria. In fact, the effectiveness of this particular state of the precious metal has been little studied. It slows down the reproduction of microbes, but does it kill?

In reviews of the antiseptic, there are complaints that there are lumps inside the product.

6. Klinsa Antiseptic with silver ions and vitamin E

Another gel from the company, which we talked about above in this rating. The composition is a natural mix of predecessors. There are silver ions, and 70% alcohol.

The only difference is the bluish color for which the dye is responsible. But it does not remain on the hands, it is worth rubbing the gel in the palms – and it will become transparent.

There is a version of this hand sanitizer with macadamia oil in the composition. It is now added to many cosmetic products, as it is saturated with fats and beneficial vitamin B.

7. Domix Green Professional Totaldez gel

The manufacturer, first of all, positions its products as products for cosmetic studios. Recommends the use of hand and foot gel before procedures. But, in fact, if you are looking for a sanitizer, then you can ignore the “cosmetic supply” of the product.

The annotation says that the gel is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Behind scientific formulations, well-known infections such as staphylococcus, diphtheria and other infections are hidden. It can also be considered a plus that the hand sanitizer was developed by a cosmetic company, which means that we can assume that allergenic components have been minimized.

This product also exists in the form of a spray, similar to a deodorant can. It is also not very convenient to carry around, but it is a great volume for daily use at home or at work.

Main characteristics

8. Sanitelle with cotton extract

It’s an antiseptic spray. Particularly noteworthy are its dimensions, similar to a bank card in size, only thicker. The main component is ethyl alcohol – the most popular antiseptic.

Interestingly, the composition of the cotton extract, which the packaging boasts of, does not appear. Obviously, it is hidden under the item “functional additives”. In general, cotton extract is used to moisturize the skin, and it also has a calming effect. Just what you need after aggressive alcohol.

But the composition contains aloe extract, which, in general, duplicates the properties of the previous ingredient. It definitely won’t get any worse.

Main characteristics

Volume 20 ml, without additional fragrance, for all skin types.

9. Kingdom of fragrances Hygienic with rosemary extract

As part of this antiseptic, everything is fine, with a couple of exceptions. The main disinfectant is isopropyl alcohol – it is recommended by WHO for use in sanitizers. There is also glycerin and a whole bunch of oils and extracts.

Rest assured, the stuff will smell nice if you’re a fan of herbal fragrances. There is an extract of rosemary, tea tree oil, lemon and lavender. Note in the composition of D-panthenol – a medicinal vitamin from group B, which has excellent properties for skin healing.

And now for the cons. It contains hydrogenated castor oil, or PEG-40. The substance is often criticized on resources dedicated to cosmetics. The fact is that it can cause allergies. Many eco-friendly manufacturers are ditching it.

Secondly, in the first place in the composition of water, and there must be an active component, that is, alcohol. Therefore, the antibacterial effect may not be sufficient for many bacteria. Therefore, we put it on the list of the best hand sanitizers of 2022 for the smell and the rare liquid form – the product needs to be puffed from a bottle.

Main characteristics

Volume 30 ml, with aromatic fragrance, for all skin types.

10. Levrana Antibacterial

The organic cosmetics brand has also added hand sanitizer to its range. Sometimes it is found in the form of a pen with a cap-pshikalka. As part of a scattering of plant extracts. There are different versions of this antiseptic, so we will not list all possible combinations.

Also on the package it appears that among the components are ascorbic and lactic acids. All these are so-called natural antiseptics. But you need to make an important caveat: there are none in the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Doctors consider only ethyl and isopropyl alcohols as an antiseptic, as well as a little hydrogen peroxide in addition to the active substance.

Because alcohols are guaranteed to deactivate most viruses, but natural antiseptics are the least effective. Therefore, you should definitely not take this product for medical purposes. But in real life, it’s still better than nothing. Plus the smell is nice!

Main characteristics

Volume 50 ml, with aromatic fragrance, for all skin types.
