Best Natural 99% Proof Aloe Enriched Hand Sanitizer Spray & why FDA advises against many toxic ones
2020 is a very unpredictable year as we know. Of course what is consistent is the quality you get with all of Bare Pits natural products. We know that COVID-19 will be here a while so we created Bare Pits natural 99% isopropyl alcohol proof soothing hand sanitizer spray, available in 2 or 4 oz bottles (even our nurses love them).
Bare Pits is a natural deodorant and armpit care company along with organic and vegan skincare and full spectrum CBD body salves and creams, we understand what ingredients are good for your skin and which to avoid.
We created Bare Pits natural 99% proof aloe enriched hand sanitizer with organic grapeseed oil and organic essential oils that actually nourish your skin while killing bacteria. Most companies only use 60-70% proof of methanol alcohol (which is very dangerous).
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ORGANIC SCENT
We use 99% isopropyl alcohol (most companies use 70%), organic aloe vera gel with seaweed extract, organic grapeseed oil, organic essential oils, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, and organic witch hazel extract.
It helps in protecting the skin and also prevents drying of the skin by moisturizing it
Gentle ingredients safe for frequent use
Keep it handy in your pocket or bag, spray out on your palms and rub gently to be germ-free instantly.

According to FDA, they advise consumers not to use hand sanitizer products manufactured by Eskbiochem. FULL LIST:
The US Food and Drug Administration has expanded its warning about hand sanitizers to avoid, with the list now topping 100.
The agency first warned consumers in June about hand sanitizers containing methanol, which can be toxic when absorbed through the skin and potentially deadly if ingested. Since then, several such products have been recalled by manufacturers and pulled from store shelves.
Now, the FDA is also warning about hand sanitizers containing insufficient levels of alcohol.
“FDA test results show certain hand sanitizers have concerningly low levels of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, which are active ingredients in hand sanitizer products,” the agency said in its updated warning on July 31.
“The agency urges consumers not to use these subpotent products and has expanded its list to include subpotent hand sanitizers, in addition to hand sanitizers that are or may be contaminated with methanol.”
Nearly all of the hand sanitizers on the FDA’s list were manufactured in Mexico. The agency has recommended recalls for most of the products, and has also issued import alerts to halt them from entering the country.
Proper hand hygiene is an important part of the response to Covid-19, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC recommends that people use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not readily available.

FDA tested samples of Lavar Gel and CleanCare No Germ. Lavar Gel contains 81 percent (v/v) methanol and no ethyl alcohol, and CleanCare No Germ contains 28 percent (v/v) methanol. Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effects.
Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning. Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidently ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk for methanol poisoning.
On June 17, 2020, FDA contacted Eskbiochem to recommend the company remove its hand sanitizer products from the market due to the risks associated with methanol poisoning. To date, the company has not taken action to remove these potentially dangerous products from the market. Therefore, FDA recommends consumers stop using these hand sanitizers and dispose of them immediately in appropriate hazardous waste containers. Do not flush or pour these products down the drain.
FDA reminds consumers to wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing one’s nose. If soap and water are not readily available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend consumers use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent ethanol.
FDA says at least 77 hand sanitizer products may be toxic.
Regulators say many of the products contain dangerous levels of methanol, which can lead to blindness, hospitalization and even death
