The Active Ingredient

Why Benzalkonium chloride based hand sanitizer?

Benzalkonium chloride based hand sanitizers have distinct advantages over alcohol-based hand sanitizers. While both product forms are FDA Tentative Final Monograph for leave on products, fast acting and allow for use without water or towels, Benzalkonium chloride based products are non-flammable, do not cause drunkenness, less drying to skin, will not stain clothing and actually kills germs. Published studies report that gelled alcohol-based hand sanitizers actually make the skin dirtier, not cleaner due to removal of protective natural skin oils and entrapment of dead skin cells by the polymer thickeners used in the gelled alcohol products. Benzalkonium chloride is a quat active ingredient with a history of use in leave-on, FDA Tentative Final Monograph anti-bacterial skin treatment products. Leave-on Hand Sanitizers should not be used as a substitute for proper hand washing and hygiene practices.

QUOTES

    "In a 1998 study utilizing the FDA protocol, a non-alcohol sanitizer utilizing the active ingredient benzalkonium chloride met the FDA performance standards, while Purell, a popular alcohol based sanitizer, did not. The study found that a benzalkonium chloride based sanitizer was the most favorable non-alcohol based hand sanitizer.New generation, plant derived versions are used in hand sanitizers that are more effective and safer than alcohol gels. As an antiseptic, it has the advantage of not burning when put on a wound, which is not the case with ethanol-based antiseptics or hydrogen peroxide. As the antiseptic in Bactine, benzalkonium chloride has been used safely for decades on childhood scrapes and cuts."
    " Quaternary ammonium formulations are now the disinfectants of choice for hospitals. This is on account of user and patient safety even on contact with treated surfaces and the absence of harmful fumes."
