I don’t know what I’m putting on my hands. And sometimes face. Honestly it smells like gasoline. It says Made under Emergency 🚨 Measures... I’m wondering what purpose it was originally allocated for. Maybe it is the vat the chemicals were brung studied in that has the smell and it leached on 🧐🤷♀️ Guys awful lol 🤢 🤮 😷
Compromised of : 80% alcohol. Inactive ingredients : Glycerin; hydrogen peroxide; purified water. ————Nothing Odd or note worthy there... Do You think there is missing info?
Lies. All Lies 😎
I have an idea as to what is cat sung that smell.🧐
I have NO IDEA. 😐

Evidently, this the appalling scent is natural byproduct of ethanol being made from corn, sugar cane, beets, and other organic sources. [Ethyl alcohol] production is highly regulated.
It stinks because these new brands of hand sanitizer —many made by distillers who’ve pivoted from producing drinking alcohol to meet public demand for hand sanitizer—are making and using denatured ethanol. This ethanol costs significantly less than ethanol filtered using activated carbon filtration, {continued }

which would typically remove almost all contaminants and the smell.
Those organic contaminants aren’t the only reason unfiltered and denatured ethanol smells horrible. Ddenatured ethanol is also intentionally tainted with an unpalatable addition of chemicals (denaturants) such as methanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and denatonium to make it undrinkable.
~~~Sooo basically my antiseptic is toxic. Great 👍🏻 🙄
Has anyone used INSTANT ERASE hand sanitizer? It smells awful yet no -alleged- inactive ingredients in my experience , have a distinctive smell?
😂 ouch 80% alcohol? Isopropyl alcohol is usually only 30%. You don't need that strong to kill germs. Thats just outrageous. And yes acetone is found in finger nail polish. Methanol is highly toxic. Here is an FDA warning on it.
Butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone, is an organic compound with the formula CH₃CCH₂CH₃. This colorless liquid ketone has a sharp, sweet odor reminiscent of butterscotch and acetone It is produced industrially on a large scale, but occurs in nature only in trace amounts. Basically the uses is a solvent. So you are putting a solvent on your skin and face. Denatonium is toxic to humans.
Anyone using these chemicals must stop using them immediately. Soap and water is all you need to protect yourself from covid19. Do not harm yourselves with such chemicals.
I won’t use the kind that stinks but I’ll continue using regular alcohol and porn germ x bc that smells normal
Don’t you work in a hospital though?
I thought you guys live on that stuff bc you can’t always wash hands between patients Also the Cdc gave lists of the ones to watch out for it’s not any I’ve ever used
Thoigh it’s insane that people have to get sick before they test it
We do have sanitizer dispensers but we are trained to scrub our hands between patients. It is rare nurses will just use sanitizer only between patients. We use that mostly if we deal with objects that come outside of the hospital like paperwork or credit cards. But if they work on a patient or like me when i build a drug compound we must scrub up and gown up.
I use soap and water, NEVER sanitizer. 1) Sanitizer might kill bacteria but it doesn't kill virus. 2) To have a healthy immune system, we actually NEED to come in contact with germs. 3) Sanitizing implies killing germs. But all we really need to do is wash off any abundance of germs on a regular basis.
It doesn’t kill it but apparently fir covid it rips apart the fat globules crowns. Covid is not very robust it just is sticky and is not water soluble.
I don’t like using HA but I can’t wash my hands when I’m out. I do as soon as I’m near a sink but I spend most of the day in a field away from sinks.
Can’t believe I stumbled on this site while trying to research whether this product, InstantErase Hand Sanitizer is safe. It’s not letting me post a link here, but go to alcosales website and search the product name. There’s a link for its safety data under the product description. I think I’ll save it for cleaning my paint brushes instead of putting it on my skin.
Oh it’s not scented. It’s just all the sanity we being made in a rush stinks bc it’s made from denatured ethanol... . Not filtered and sterilized in the normal way.
Maybe it's a sanitizer made by a liquor distillery. As part of the national effort, some patriotic distillers converted to producing sanitizer made with ethanol instead of isopropyl alcohol. I've used some of that stuff and it smells like Scotch (which to me is an unpleasant smell) but it's definitely effective at sanitizing.
Your update prompted me to read up on the issue. The problem as I understand it is the requirement that distillery-produced ethanol (meant for human consumption) be denatured before it can be used as an emergency use hand sanitizer. I understand wanting to make the alcohol unpalatable and bitter to drink so that dumb people don't ingest it. But the concern (as you pointed out) is that some of the denaturing additives are toxic. In my view, the need for sanitizer at this time outweighs the need to denature the alcohol. But from my review not all of the denaturing additives are toxic and the problem is only with some suppliers. But I thank you for raising this issue.
Yes I — exactly what you pointed out. And luckily ta not necessarily toxic but some must be...
I’m also suspicious that “safety” is the reason as apposed to the justification simply bc It’s convenient. Bc let’s face it, it you can make things gross without being dangerous
Additionally, No one is tuning out to make rubbing alcohol taste disgusting with gasses. 😏
I don’t buy it 🤨
I understand if there’s some process pivoting but I’m sure this can he done without putting or leaving junk in Antiseptic.. Of all places.. It’s Moronic and what an excuse. We have to make antiseptic toxic so you don’t drink it 😂🙄.
Troll harder manufacturers.
It’s unsettling to me bc sometimes I put it around ( not in) my eyes or mouth ( not in) in case some foreign objects rubbed against my face bc those are the areas you need to be lost careful. So it’s like do I want to stuck my hand in fire or lye.
And here it is... It’s not made with poison to keep anyone “ safe” from drinking it 🙄
>> Denatured alcohol can contain 70-99% ethyl alcohol and is most often denaturized with at least 5% methanol. Unfit to drink, denatured ethanol is exempt from federal alcohol excise taxes for approved end-uses.<<
At least 6% % I wonder how high you it first though
Several brands have been recalled since June bc they says ethyl alcohol but were found to have signify any amounts of methanol.
That’s the thing they don’t have to tell you about what goes info processing only what’s added.
I think I don’t want to buy food anymore lol no wonder we don’t all love to 150 🤭
... Lavar Gel contains 81 percent (v/v) methanol and no ethyl alcohol, and CleanCare No Germ contains 28 percent (v/v) methanol. Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effect.
@Safe and Effective 80% ethanol based hand sanitizer distilled from corn pursuant to strict FDA guidelines. Contains NO methanol. Hand sanitizer Ethanol based antiseptic Not for consumption For use when soap and water are not available
Vivant thank you again for your exposition on this issue. You're absolutely correct that methanol has no place in hand sanitizer. The vegetable-based (corn, etc.) distilled ethanol is all that is needed for an effective sanitizer with possibly glycerin added as a thickener. Good work on this! 👍👏
"Alcohol" could legally mean a few things, for example isopropanol. Isopropanol smells different from ethanol, it's the weird more "sour" smell like that in nail polish removers.
@VIVANT do you know for sure there is methanol in it? cause that stuff is extremely dangerous. Here is a link to hand sanitizers that have been recalled.
