According to the NIH; logistic, economic, safety, and cultural and religious factors have all been carefully \r\n\r\nconsidered by W.H.O. before recommending such formulations for use worldwide.  NIH also reports that at present, \r\n\r\nalcohol-based handrubs are the only known means for rapidly and effectively inactivating a wide array of potentially \r\n\r\nharmful microorganisms on hands.  Further stating that for optimal compliance with hand hygiene, handrubs should be \r\n\r\nreadily available, either through dispensers close to the point of care or in small bottles for on-person carriage.  Each \r\n\r\nactive Ingredient is pharmaceutical quality.  Bottles have been kept in quarantine for 72 hours allowing the required time \r\n\r\nfor any spores present in the alcohol or the new bottles to be eliminated by H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eShipped to you in a safety sealed HDPE container with a resealable cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Apply a palmful of alcohol-based handrub and cover all surfaces of the hands, rub \r\n\r\nhands until dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Concentrations\u003c\/strong\u003e of each ingredient:\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eethyl alcohol SDA 40-B 190 PF (see Simple Alcohol below)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eglycerol 1.45% v\/v\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ehydrogen peroxide 0.125% v\/v\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ewater\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFor external use only.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eService Industry Employees\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEducational Facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHealth Care Facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIn areas lacking accessibility to sinks or other facilities for had hygiene (including clean water, towels, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes hand hygiene compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFaster process for hand hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMore convenient hand hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHygienic Hand Antisepsis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAn antimicrobial handrub\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePresurgical Hand Preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e: clear\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVISCOSITY\u003c\/strong\u003e:  thin\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eODOR\u003c\/strong\u003e: maybe unpleasant, but characteristic, not a deterent to use\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREFILLING\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Do not refill bottle without strict adherence to GMP (\"Good Manufacturing \r\n\r\nPractices\") and norms for cleaning and disinfecting the bottle(s) (e.g. autoclaving or thermal disinfecting is preferred but  \r\n\r\nboiling or chemical disinfection with chlorine for the requisite time frame is also acceptable if done properly).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOTHER ADDITIVES\u003c\/strong\u003e (or adulteration) to the formulation:\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIt is strongly recommended that \u003cstrong\u003eno other ingredients be added except as specified here\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAddition of other additives not specified here will require full justification, documented safety, compatibility with the \r\n\r\nother ingredients, must be free of viable bacterial spores, plus relevant details included on the product label.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol % by v\/v\u003c\/strong\u003e:  must remain at 75% v\/v or higher\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Humectants or Emollients\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Must be miscible in water AND alcohol, non-toxic, and \r\n\r\nhypoallergenic.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColorants\u003c\/strong\u003e:  may be added so long as safe and compatible with the essential components.

The U.S. government regulates alcohol distribution in the U.S. and for export.  This is done via the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (called the \"TTB\", a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury).  TTB has promulgated regulations.  Those regulations are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (\"CFR\").  Those regulations contain multiple formulas for varying types of alcohol and for various authorized uses.  Of course, the formulas began with Formula No. 1.  Then there were more formulas and each was sequentially numbered.  Sometimes, a formula required a slight deviation of denaturant, use, etc.  To maintain order and keep similar related formulas together, a letter after the formula number was added.  The \"SDA\" merely denotes Specially Denatured Alcohol.  Essential Depot's Sanitizer utilizes ethyl alcohol that has been specially denatured in compliance with alcohol denaturing Formula 40-B of the Code of Federal Regulations.\r\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Essential Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52813852672365,"sku":"HAND-SANITIZER-32OZ","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1185\/3298\/files\/Sanitizer-Quart-Front.png?v=1780050681","url":"https:\/\/essentialdepot.net\/products\/32oz-1-quart-hand-sanitizer-80-alcohol-w-h-o-recommended-formula-and-ingredients","provider":"Essential Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
