Common questions

Is PURELL Hand Sanitizer healthy?

PURELL Hand Sanitizer scores 32/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in PURELL Hand Sanitizer?

PURELL Hand Sanitizer lists 10 ingredients, starting with Ethyl Alcohol, Water, Isopropyl Alcohol, Caprylyl Glycol and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does PURELL Hand Sanitizer contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in PURELL Hand Sanitizer’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is PURELL Hand Sanitizer?

PURELL Hand Sanitizer has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does PURELL Hand Sanitizer compare to other hand sanitizer?

At 32/100 PURELL Hand Sanitizer scores worse than most hand sanitizer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in hand sanitizer is Dr. Bronner's Organic Peppermint Hand Sanitizer at 100/100.

PURELL Hand Sanitizer is not certified organic in our data.
