Must-Have Hand Sanitizers to Toss in Your Bag

By Red Dimaandal-Escamillas

Hand sanitizer has long been a staple in most of our handbags—and these days, it’s more essential than ever. While washing thoroughly with soap and water will always be our best defense against germs and bacteria, a portable sanitizing spray or gel is key whenever you can’t get to a sink.

But that doesn’t mean you need to settle for a sanitizer that dries out your skin. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best hand sanitizers you can buy right now. 

Mury

Mury is a luxury hand alcohol, offering a refreshing Blood Orange and Vanilla scent. Available in a complete gift set, it is perfect for self-care or as a thoughtful, elegant gift.

Aesop Geranium Leaf Rinse-Free Hand Wash

??Aesop makes the kind of soap you’re excited to see in a hotel, so it’s no surprise its hand sanitizer is just as beloved. This gel is available in travel and full-size bottles, and is made with a fresh, citrusy blend of geranium leaf, mandarin rind, and bergamot rind.

Available in Power Plant Mall

Jane Iredale Hand Sanitizer

Jane Iredale Hand Sanitizer is a hand sanitizer spray with 80% alcohol. If you don’t like the idea of scented hands, then consider this simple formula, which is free of both fragrance and essential oils. It has just four ingredients and dries quickly, leaving your hands with no scent or sticky residue.

Available in Rustan’s

Whether you’re rushing between meetings, running errands, or traveling, having a hand sanitizer that works (and smells good) is a small but essential step in keeping yourself and others safe. Choose one that fits your style and needs, and carry it wherever you go for a touch of practicality and self-care.
