Gel vs Liquid: What’s the difference?

• Liquid hand sanitiser acts rapidly and dries very quickly.
• It can be early dispensed or transferred which makes it suitable for refill stations and use in public places.
• The watery consistency can however make it difficult to handle as accidental spillage often occurs.
• Controlling the optimal dose of sanitiser left on the hands can also be difficult which may lead to reduced product efficacy.

• Gel hand sanitiser is convenient to dispense on-the-go due to it’s consistency and low risk of spillage.
• It evaporates slowly which increases the effectiveness of alcohol in eliminating contaminating organisms.
• It takes longer to get absorbed by the skin because of it’s thick consistency but it has the benefit of being gentle on the hands thus making it suitable for repeated use.
