Product Development Tips for the Fall’s Hottest Backpack Essential – Hand Sanitizer
As schools across the country begin to reopen, there are a variety of approaches for re-introducing students to their learning environments. All in-person and hybrid models involve an updated focus on cleaning and sanitization that has given rise to a new back-to-school supply category. As a result of this shift, hand sanitizer products have become one of the hottest backpack essentials on every child’s list this fall. For companies formulating these over-the-counter (OTC) products, there are many product development variables to consider.
Hand Sanitizer Product Development – Tips for Producing This Year’s Hottest Backpack Essential
Traditional alcohol-based hand sanitizer formulations are the most commonly produced. They feature alcohol as the active ingredient, mainly in the form of either ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers effectively kill germs and viruses by working immediately on the skin to deliver fast-drying properties.
Since the majority of hand sanitizers feature clear containers, it is also especially critical to add the right type and level of additives to achieve the desired product clarity, color and formulation consistency.
