The Hand Sanitizer Gel is also available for sale on UrbanJuve.com, Amazon.ca, and select retail partners such as Pharmasave, Vitasave, and YesWellness in Canada.

“We have had a lot of interest in this product since its launch earlier this year; hand sanitizer is an extremely important tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the seasonal cold and flu. Consumers are also realizing how important a product with natural and high-quality ingredients is to use long-term to not only disinfect their hands, but to protect and nourish them as well,” says Gabe Villablanca, Better Plant’s Director of eCommerce. “So far, early feedback on the product has been overwhelmingly positive.”

The Hand Sanitizer Gel will be sold in packs of three for USD $21.99. The product page can be accessed here. The hand sanitizer gel contains 65% ethyl alcohol as well as aloe vera and eucalyptus oil, which can help to combat skin dryness: a common side effect of many hand sanitizers. It also contains tea tree oil and cedarwood essential oils which give it increased antimicrobial activity as well as a fresh outdoorsy scent that has garnered positive feedback from consumers and retailers alike.

The hand sanitizer gel is listed with the FDA (NDC 75385-0010-1) and has received Natural Health Product Number 80098154 from Health Canada. Urban Juve’s Ultra Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray received Health Canada approval on March 27, 2020.

Sales of hand sanitizer are expected to reach US $11 billion in 2020, a 600% increase over 2019. The hand sanitizer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 17% between 2019 and 2025 according to a report from Aritzon.

According to a report by Statista.com, as of December 2019, there were an estimated 112 million U.S. Amazon Prime subscribers, up from 95 million in June 2018. On average, Amazon Prime members spent 1,400 U.S. dollars on the e-retail platform per year.
