Gel Hand Sanitizer

Get the Extra Protection of Shark Armor

With 80 percent ethanol, we exceed FDA minimum and beat the competition.

All hand sanitizers are not created equal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. The top sellers on the market right now are between 62 and 70 percent  ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer, for instance, is 70 percent ethyl alcohol. Shark Armor contains 80 percent!

Continuous filtration counteracts alcohol smell

With the increased emphasis on hand sanitizing, by now you are probably all too familiar with the strong smell of alcohol-based products. Due to the high ethanol content of Shark Armor gel hand sanitizer, we have gone to extreme measures to counteract the smell.

The two main options most companies use are carbon filtration or odor-neutralizing additives. We use both! And while our competitors boast of double carbon filtration to remove impurities, we use constant filtration – filtering out a variety of organic impurities for approximately a week to create a cleaner product.

On top of that, we add peppermint oil to complement our constant filtration process. You may add extra drops of peppermint essential oil if you wish.

Further enhancing the purity of Shark Armor gel hand sanitizer is the high grade of ethanol we use. Our denatured ethanol is plant-based alcohol made with corn from Iowa.

Hand hygiene and COVID-19

According to CDC, “Hand hygiene is an important part of the U.S. response to the international emergence of COVID-19. Practicing hand hygiene, which includes the use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) or handwashing, is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens and infections in healthcare settings. CDC recommendations reflect this important role.

The exact contribution of hand hygiene to the reduction of direct and indirect spread of coronaviruses between people is currently unknown. However, hand washing mechanically removes pathogens, and laboratory data demonstrate that ABHR formulations in the range of alcohol concentrations recommended by CDC, inactivate SARS-CoV-2” [the virus that causes COVID-19].

Safer than quats

Many of the popular wipes and disinfectants on the market contain quaternary ammonium chlorides (or quats). Be aware that quats are inexpensive and potent against numerous infectious agents, but there are health hazards such as these:¹

• Quats are potent skin irritants and can cause rashes and dermatitis.
• Quats can irritate your lungs leading to breathing problems.
• Cleaning workers exposed regularly to quats have developed occupational asthma.
• Quats are linked to reproductive harm, potentially affecting fertility, and possibly leading to birth defects.
• Widespread use of quats is contributing to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance, leading to the development of “superbugs” that cannot be controlled with antibiotics.

Use with confidence
