It’s been difficult to find essential supplies like toilet paper, face masks and hand sanitizer for weeks. Not only have brick-and-mortar store shelves been empty, but online marketplaces have run low or sold out, too.
For all those products not available, consumers are taking the DIY route — everything from bread to face masks. But there’s one thing you really shouldn’t try making at home: hand sanitizer.
Officials say it’s just too dangerous to try and create it on your own. Don’t worry, Kim found a company that makes hand sanitizer that exceeds CDC recommendations, and it’s available right now.

Kim’s choice for quality hand sanitizer
The CDC recommends using a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. “Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60-95% are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol based hand sanitizers.”
In the fight against the coronavirus, it’s important to only use sanitizer that meets those guidelines. If you’re buying from unfamiliar sellers online, you never know what you’re getting.
You don’t have to worry about getting low-quality products with the U.S. based ViroShield. Its hand sanitizer contains 75% alcohol, well above the CDC minimum recommendation.
ViroShield
ViroShield’s chemists, engineers and staff blend and fulfill orders in Los Angeles. You can choose from their line of sanitizer that contains an essential oil blend along with 70% pure-grade alcohol or the formula that meets FDA requirements, made with 75% Isopropyl Alcohol Antiseptic.
You won’t pay an arm and a leg, and you can shop with peace of mind, knowing you’re getting products that are made in the USA and have the right ingredients to kill germs.
