Frequently Asked Questions

What is Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer?
 

Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer is a revolutionary new hand sanitizer and moisturizer in one. It kills 99.9% of germs quickly, then continues to kill germs you may come into contact after application. 
 

How does it work?
 

Using SafetyDerm® technology, it suspends benzethonium chloride in a layer of white wax, acting like invisible gloves that protect against germs quickly and continuously. And it moisturizes at the same time! 
 

How does Veripur differ from other hand sanitizers?
 

Most hand sanitizers on the market are alcohol-based. The alcohol kills germs on contact, but once it evaporates – it stops working! By contrast, Veripur is alcohol-free. Its active ingredient, benzethonium chloride, not only kills germs quickly, but continues to kills germs you touch. 
 

Can you give me an example of Veripur’s continuous protection?
 

Sure. Say you apply Veripur right after getting off a subway. Veripur kills 99.9% of the germs you encountered on the subway. But unlike most alcohol-based hand sanitizers, it continues to kill germs you encounter on the escalator or stair handrails leading out of the subway station, on the ATM you stop at on the way to work, on the elevator button you push in your office lobby, on the doorknob or handle to your office, on the phone you use to check on the kids—or on anything else you touch.  
 

And the leading alcohol-based hand sanitizing gels don’t provide lasting protection? 
 

Correct. When you apply them, they kill only the germs that are already on your hands. Once the alcohol evaporates—within a few seconds—they stop working. As soon as you touch another surface or shake someone’s hand, you’re unprotected.  
 

What kinds of germs does Veripur kill?
 

Veripur kills a broad spectrum of common germs.
 

Do the moisturizers in Veripur provide protection, too?
 

In a way, yes. While the moisturizers in Veripur—avocado, jojoba, and grapeseed oils—don’t kill germs, they help prevent germs from invading by preventing the dryness and cracked skin caused by frequent hand-washing, harsh weather—and alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Plus, Veripur’s moisturizers leave hands feeling healthy, soft, and silky-smooth.
 

Do you still need to wash your hands if you use Veripur?
 

Washing your hands all over—front, back, between your fingers, under your nails—with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds is the first line of defense against germs. Nothing replaces hand-washing as the foundation of good hand hygiene. But when soap and water are not available, Veripur is an effective way to rid your hands of 99.9% of germs.  
 

What is the right way to use Veripur?
 

Place a dime size amount of product in the palm of one hand. Spread on both hands and rub until dry. Wash and dry hands and reapply every 3 to 4 hours. Please note that Veripur does wash off when you wash your hands, which is why it must be reapplied to renew protection. 
 

Is Veripur safe for children?
 

Yes, While Veripur is safe for the whole family, please supervise children under 6 years of age in the use of this product. 
 

Is Veripur fragranced?
 

Veripur is available in both Unscented and Fresh Scent formulas. 
 

What sizes are available?
 

Veripur is available in a 3 fl. oz. tube, compact enough to carry in your purse, briefcase, gym bag, or carry-on luggage. Veripur is available in 13 oz. bottle in select Walgreens locations. 
 

Is Veripur tested on animals?
 

No, it is not tested on any animals.
