  • What is the fragrance used in hand sanitizers?

    Posted by Layup on December 20, 2015 at 8:33 pm

    Hi everyone, I’m new here and looking forward to helping contribute to the discussions.

    I was wondering if anyone knew that scent that most hand sanitizers ,like purell, use to mask the smell of alcohol. It’s a very neutral “clean” smell. On all the ingredient labels it’s just listed as “fragrance”.

    Any help is really appreciated

    You need to ask a fragrance house.

    I doubt there is just one fragrance that does it. I agree with Bob - ask a fragrance house.
