Who has time to be sick? I have too many things left unchecked on my to-do list, weekend plans, and goals I still have to accomplish. Being sick is not cute, and it also hinders what I have to do. We are living in a crazy time with hysteria about viruses, and apprehension to socially distance ourselves for safety. So I have to protect not only my body and health, but my sanity as well. I refuse to let germs and mania stop my glow. I’m also tired of following the flock, and want something fresh and exciting. So I went on the hunt for the best hand sanitizers, not sold in your typical big box retailers. Clearly it’s the little things that keep me going and happy in this mad, mad world.
Taking time away from the outside world is a good thing, but when it’s forced it doesn’t feel like it. When I’m sick I live in a constant state of wishing I was better so I can return to normalcy. I always feel like my to-do list and social life are missing me. Then it makes me realize that a lot of things I do are reactive to my health, instead of proactive. Hand sanitizer is a proactive product that I vow to use a lot more. But to make hand sanitizer a part of my daily life it has to have a non-typical, fun appeal. And there are hand sanitizers that fit my personality, while still containing the minimum of 60% alcohol for effectiveness. Some that are chic, smell amazing, all natural, multi-beneficial, and more. Here is a list of 5 best hand sanitizers that fit the bill.
TOUCHLAND POWER MIST WATERMELON
The TOUCHLAND Power Mist Watermelon is an exceptionally moisturizing hand sanitizer in a cute spray bottle. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true. It uses aloe vera, radish root, and lemon & lime essential oils to hydrate and rejuvenate your hands. It was designed with your skin in mind while also providing necessary ingredients, like Ethyl Alcohol, to protect from germs. This hand sanitizer sprays a fine mist that’s lightweight and quick-absorbing, and leaves your hands feeling soft. It comes in 8 scents, including watermelon, that smell ridiculously good. I like to think of it as B&BW all grown up.
AESOP RESURRECTION RINSE-FREE HAND WASH

The AESOP Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash is a clean, refreshing gel hand sanitizer. It’s alcohol-based, with woody and botanical scent that delivers a nice aroma while effectively cleaning your hands. The hand sanitizer also has a gentle formula that doesn’t dry your hands out while killing bacteria. Key ingredients like mandarin rind, rosemary leaf, and cedar atlas help to provide nourishment while it protects. It reminds of me of a medicine bottle, but it just simply gets rid of daily grime and resurrects the clean.
MEGABABE SQUEAKY CLEAN HAND SANITIZER
The MEGABABE Squeaky Clean Hand Sanitizer uses almond oil and marula oil to hydrate your skin. So it doesn’t dry you out per the usual stigma of hand sanitizers. Geranium essential oil is also in the mix to restore and tighten & smooth your skin. It’s a gel formula that’s not sticky, and uses Ethyl Alcohol to kill 99.9% of bacteria. And to top it off, it has a refreshing citrus scent made from bergamot and oranges. It’s moisturizing, effective, and simply cool.
DR BRONNER’S LAVENDER ORGANIC HAND SANITIZER
The DR BRONNER’S Lavender Organic Hand Sanitizer uses a simple, certified organic by the USDA, formula to get rid of germs. It uses just Ethyl Alcohol from sugar cane, Glycerin, lavender oil, and water to cleanse and protect. The organic lavender scent allows this spray hand sanitizer to be used as an air freshener for some calming vibes. You can also spray it on surfaces in public places, or use it as a deodorant if you’re feeling experimental. With its many uses, it’ll naturally become an essential product in your handbag.
HEMPZ Triple Moisture Moisturizing Herbal Hand Sanitizer
The HEMPZ Triple Moisture Moisturizing Herbal Hand Sanitizer contains 100% natural Hemp seed oil, and enriched coconut oil to nourish hands. Both ingredients use fatty acids to intensely relieve and moisturize skin. Apple extract is also included to help keep the skin on your hands firm and tight. So soothing it could almost be used like a lotion, yet it’s a gel antibacterial formula that instantly kills germs. And there is a slight pleasant citrus scent made from grapefruit and peach. There’s no THC, so you’ll get all the benefits of hemp, minus the high.
Unfortunately I can’t depend on society as a whole to stay clean and safe. So I’m going to take proactive measures to make sure myself, and those around me, are as cautious as possible. I know that using the best hand sanitizers is a baby step in the greater cause. But if I can fight germs while using a product that makes me happy, then I’m sold. I’ve got things to do and places to see, so being sick isn’t an option for me. I refuse to let it stop my glow. And hopefully one day soon, we on planet Earth will get it together.
