New Purell 2-in-1 sanitizer + moisturizer keeps hands clean and soft

GOJO Industries, Inc., the maker of PURELL, has introduced a double-duty weapon for consumers who battle to keep their hands clean and soft while on-the-go: NEW PURELL 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer.

Like original PURELL, the 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer is alcohol-based so it kills 99.99 percent of germs that may cause illness. Plus this lotion formula adds skin lotion emollients and conditioners to leave hands feeling soft. Another advantage of the product is that while it is a lotion, it does not leave behind a sticky or greasy residue, so you can use it frequently. PURELL 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer also has a new floral fragrance. And the new 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer is convenient - the dual formula means there's one less container to pack.

Since PURELL was introduced to retail in 1996, many consumers have come to depend on the instant hand sanitizer as a way to keep germs at bay. "We are very excited to be able to provide consumers with this double-duty product," said Sandor Katz, GOJO Industries Vice President - Consumer Group. "PURELL 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer offers people a convenient way to improve their hand hygiene while keeping their hands moisturized."

Hand hygiene is the single most important behavior to stop the spread of illness and infection. In order to explore this issue, GOJO Industries will be participating in an initiative with the National Consumers League to increase hand hygiene awareness among consumers. More information about this initiative will be available shortly.

PURELL 2-in-1 Sanitizer + Moisturizer is available in stores this month at the suggested price of $1.59 for a 2 fl oz bottle and $3.49 for the 8 fl oz pump.

GOJO Industries manufactures professional skin care products and has a 50 year history of leadership in improving well-being through hand hygiene and healthy skin. GOJO Industries is a privately held corporation headquartered in Akron, Ohio.
