Both alcohol-based antibacterials and Hands2GO are 99.99 percent effective. But here are a few reasons why our active ingredient wins out over alcohol:

Alcohol-Free Hands2GO		Alcohol-Based
	Moisturizing to skin		Drying to skin
	Leaves skin's natural oils/fatty acids intact		Strips away skin's natural oils/fatty acids
	Moisturizes skin to minimize bacteria		Attracts bacteria to small cuts in dry skin
	Nonirritating		Causes irritating, burning sensation
	Safe, nontoxic in small amounts		Poisonous if ingested by toddlers
	Nonflammable		Flammable
	Fragrance-free		Possesses a strong odor
	Applies smoothly and uniformly		Sticky, tacky, drippy

Alcohol is the cheapest antibacterial agent, especially when sold in bulk to a large manufacturer. When it comprises at least 62 percent of the final product, alcohol is certainly effective in killing germs, but at what cost to our health? These cleansers have a higher concentration of alcohol than vodka. Besides the risks of accidental poisoning and fire, alcohol strips away your body's natural oils, leaving your skin unprotected. These natural oils do not get replenished simply by adding moisturizers, as many alcohol-laden products claim.
