Where to Find the Best Hand Sanitizers Available Now

By Steven John Apr 20, 2021 11:56 PM

Washing your hands is key to staying healthy and, in our new reality, protecting yourself during the coronavirus pandemic we are now facing, according to the Center for Disease Control. When you wash your hands, soap can kill off some germs, but it’s the physical scrubbing motion and flowing water that lift and carry away the significant portion of those unwanted guests.

But if you can’t wash your hands, hand sanitizers are a great alternative, which is also why they’ve been flying off drug store shelves. However, you can still find them at a number of online retailers. Here are a few of our favorites that, as of now, are still available.

This hand sanitizer uses jojoba oil and vitamin E so it won’t leave your skin feeling as dried out as many products in the category do, yet it’s still made up of 62.5% ethyl alcohol, thus meeting the CDC’s guideline for using a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill germs. The fact that each order contains four bottles is a bonus, as you can strategically place them in your home, car, office, and so on.

A natural marvel helped Coco de Mer become one of the rarest fragrances on the planet

Coco de Mer

Colognes are a dime a dozen. There are always new ones popping up, and old ones fading away (literally and metaphorically). But it is truly special when something unique hits the market. This one isn’t new, but the story remains one of the most fascinating in the industry. Tucked off the coast of East Africa on the island of Seychelles, a coconut provides one of the most unique and rarest scents you will have in your collection. It grows only there. And it is illegal to poach it. The Coco de Mer provides a citrusy and musky scent unrivaled across perfumery, and the only place you can buy the true scent is from Coco de Mer Cologne Company. Sharon Bonne, the founder, told Forbes last year:

Sometimes it’s sweet, but it has so many layers. At its base, there’s this woody, tobacco-like tone. That’s when we started thinking, ‘this would be amazing if it could be translated into an essence, the essence of the sea.’ It embodies all the fragrances you could imagine in a tropical scent, and that’s where we began. – Sharon Bonne, the founder of Coco de Mer fragrance

It is November yet again. And yes, while the most important cycle you may be preparing for is the defrosting of Mariah Carey and her All I Want for Christmas domination of the airwaves, there is another you are likely hitting right now. No-Shave November is in full swing. So while all your friends are a few days into tossing their razors and trimmers away for thirty days, others are focusing on a completely separate engagement: Movember.

Most people use these two phrases interchangeably, but they are entirely different, with different origins and focuses. So what is the difference between No-Shave November and Movember? Well, sit back and let me walk you through it so you know which one you are participating in and who exactly you are supporting when you do.
