The product can be purchased in two sizes and takes the form of a non-sticky solution that won't leave hands feeling dry or stripped after use. Alongside a high alcohol content, the product features [nourishing skincare ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reparative-hand-cream) like antibacterial radish root extract, anti-inflammatory white willow bark extract and [moisturizing aloe vera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloe-gel), which is beloved for its hydrating and soothing properties. To give support where it is needed most, BeautyLab will be donating supplies of its sanitizing Hand Gel to a UK-based charity that's centered on helping those who can't afford food and are especially vulnerable during this time of uncertainty.
