Recommendations for unscented hand sanitizer?

July 31, 2022 12:31 PM

Whenever I use hand sanitizer in a store or that somebody offers to me my hands smell unpleasantly like fragrance for many hours afterwards. I would like to start carrying my own instead. Is there an unscented hand sanitizer that you would recommend to me?

I take a spray bottle with denatured alcohol (70%, diluted with water because neat alcohol isn't as good a sterilizer). It's quick and easy, and inexpensive.

I bought this 32-ounce refill pouch of unscented hand sanitizer by simplehuman, and use it to refill an old travel-sized hand sanitizer bottle that I keep in my purse.

I like All Good Unscented. I also buy bigger bottles and then refill a travel-size one that I keep in my purse. Some people think it is on the thick side, but to me that is a feature not a bug, since a lot of hand sanitizers irritate my skin, and this one does not.

ugh those scented hand sanitizers are the worst. OG purell is what i use. it smells like alcohol but dissipates almost immediately.

I like the honest company unscented hand sanitizer spray.
