Citrus II Instant Hand Sanitizing Lotion is effective against germs, viruses and bacteria, killing 99.9 percent of all germs in seconds in clinical trials following appropriate protocols. Although it's tough on germs, Citrus II is gentle on the hands due to the formulated ingredients which are rich in emollients and moisturizers. Citrus II contains over 62 percent ethyl alcohol. The FDA Monograph for hand sanitizers specifies a minimum of 60 percent ethyl alcohol to be effective. Therefore, Citrus II Hand Sanitizing Lotion meets and exceeds regulatory minimums for active ingredient levels.

Citrus II contains rich emollients, minimizing the drying effects that frequently occur with repeated use of ordinary alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Along with the hand-moisturizing feature of Citrus II, its popularity is further explained by its pleasant citrus scent. Ordinary hand sanitizers have an alcohol or institutional scent that is unpleasant and can discourage proper use of the product. Citrus II is ideal to use when soap and water is not available. And for extra safety, Hand Sanitizing Lotion should be used after hand-washing to kill any remaining germs.
