FACTS about Alcohol Rub from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In recent years, some brands started combining alcohol rubs with natural products and essential oils to provide luxury lines for the growing skin care industry.

Some hand sanitizer products use agents other than alcohol, such as triclosan or benzalkonium chloride, to kill germs. However, one un-collaborated laboratory study has shown benzalkonium chloride may be associated with but not cause antibiotic resistance in MRSA. No mechanism for resistance to alcohol has been described in bacteria. Triclosan has been shown to accumulate in biosolids in the environment, one of the top seven organic contaminants in waste water according to the National Toxicology Program, Triclosan leads to various problems with natural biological systems and triclosan, when combined with chlorine e.g. from tap water, produces chloroform, a probable carcinogen in humans. In June, 2009, alcohol-free Clarcon Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer was pulled from the US market by the FDA which found the product contained high levels of various bacteria, including those which can "cause opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues and could result in medical or surgical attention as well as permanent damage".

In the past, alcohol-free hand sanitizers tended to significantly under-perform alcohol or alcohol rubs as germ killers in clinical studies using standard protocols such as EN1500. More recently, advanced formulations have been developed, some of which have been shown to out-perform alcohol. An example of this is HandClens, with a patented SAB (Surfactant, Allantoin and Benzalkonium Chloride) formulation. A further aspect of efficacy that is sometimes overlooked is the effect of repeated use. The efficacy of alcohol as a hand disinfectant has been shown to decrease after repeated use, probably due to progressive adverse skin reactions, whereas the efficacy of an alcohol-free hand sanitizer based on Benzalkonium Chloride as its active ingredient has been shown to increase with repeated use. However, in a more recent study, the effectiveness of 70 % isopropyl alcohol did not decrease after repeated use. This study also demonstrated that, unlike Benzalkonium Chloride, alcohol does not have persistent or cumulative antimicrobial activity after application. However, Purell (but not other alcohol based sanitizers) has been previously shown to fail to meet the FDA 21 CFR 333.470 performance standards for health-care personnel antiseptic hand washes not just as a consequence of the decrease in effectiveness with repeated use, but also due to a lack of persistence in antimicrobial activity after application and the decrease in effectiveness with heavy soil loads. In the same study, HandClens was shown to meet and exceed the FDA performance standards.
