I.C. Foaming Hand Sanitizer has a distinct advantage over gelled alcohol hand sanitizers. While both product forms are fast acting and allow for use without water and towels, our product gives the added benefits of being Non-Flammable, less drying to skin and will not stain clothing. Alcohol Hand Sanitizers can actually become less effective with repeated use and make the skin dirtier, not cleaner due to removal of protective natural skin oil and entrapment of dead skin cells by the polymer thickners used in gelled alcohol products.
