Gloss Find: Veripur Hand Sanitizer

I was at an event last night that freaked me out — but in the good “you are better off knowing” sort of way.

As in: Did you know that alcohol-based hand sanitizers protect you for around 15 seconds after applying? That means that as soon as they dry…they don’t work!

As I already knew alcohol dried out my skin (and  even more susceptible to germs), it seems like sort of a waste o my time.

The event last night was horrifying – we were taken through a germ simulation lab, where we would see all sort of places that germs exist. Think, for instance, while holiday shopping – the cart you are using may have just been used by someone who used the bathroom…and didn’t wash their hands. Same for that treadmill at the gym. That door knob. I’m just beside myself. No wonder I’m always sick.

The event was hosted by VeriPur Sanitizing Hand Lotion, a new non-drying, alcohol-free hand sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs instantly and continues to protect for up to 4 hours after applying. Plus, each application gives you the hydrating benefits of clinically proven moisturizers—vitamin E and avocado, jojoba, and grapeseed oils.

I put it on last night and it absorbed super quickly — and it felt just like I had used hand lotion. (That may just protect me from the plague while I’m at it!)

The secret is a patented SafetyDerm technology, which contains benzathonium chloride in layers of moisturizers, that sort of works like a forcefield of protection (think of it is an invisible skin condom).

I may survive this winter yet.
