SPRAY ON HANDS AND SURFACES FREQUENTLY TOUCHED. ------AN ALCOHOL-CONTAINING PREPARATION (LIQUID-SPRAY, GEL OR FOAM) DESIGNED FOR APPLICATION TO THE HANDS TO INACTIVATE MICROORGANISMS AND/OR TEMPORARILY SUPPRESS THEIR GROWTH. SUCH PREPARATIONS MAY CONTAIN ONE OR MORE TYPES OF ALCOHOL, OTHER ACTIVE INGREDIENTS WITH EXCIPIENTS, AND HUMECTANTS. INGREDIENTS MOST ALCOHOL-BASED HAND ANTISEPTICS CONTAIN ISOPROPANOL, ETHANOL, N-PROPANOL, OR A COMBINATION OF 2 OF THESE PRODUCTS. THE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF ALCOHOLS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THEIR ABILITY TO DENATURE AND COAGULATE PROTEINS. ALCOHOL SOLUTIONS CONTAINING 60% TO 95% ALCOHOL ARE MOST EFFECTIVE. NOTABLY, HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS ARE LESS POTENT BECAUSE PROTEINS ARE NOT DENATURED EASILY IN THE ABSENCE OF WATER. ALCOHOLS SUCH AS ETHANOL ARE WELL-KNOWN ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS. THE HIGHEST ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH ETHANOL (60% TO 85%), ISOPROPANOL (60% TO 80%), AND N-PROPANOL (60% TO 80%). THE ACTIVITY IS BROAD AND IMMEDIATE. ETHANOL, THE MOST COMMON ALCOHOL INGREDIENT, APPEARS TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE AGAINST VIRUSES. THE COMBINATION OF ALCOHOLS MAY HAVE A SYNERGISTIC EFFECT. THE CONCENTRATION OF ALCOHOL DOES CHANGE THE EFFICACY. STUDIES SHOW A HAND RUB WITH 80% ETHANOL BEING SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER AT REDUCING BACTERIAL POPULATIONS COMPARED TO CONCENTRATIONS OF 60% TO 70%. STING-CO HAND SANITIZER CONTAINS THE HUMECTANT GLYCERIN TO HELP PREVENT SKIN DRYNESS AND HELPS TO MOISTURIZE.
