Urban Juve began pre-selling its Health Canada approved hand sanitizers to Canadian retail chains and Canadian consumers this week, for delivery in May. Canadian consumers can now place pre-orders at urbanjuve.com. The company intends to begin taking orders for its FDA listed hand sanitizer product from U.S. retailers and U.S. residents in May for deliveries beginning in July.
Yield Growth has adopted a policy to donate hand sanitizer products to COVID-19 front line workers and has allocated 1,000 units for initial donations. Handwashing isn’t always practical, especially for front line workers. Through Urban Juve’s Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts followers will be asked to nominate communities most in need of supplies.
“Our team is tremendously proud to play a part in the solution, during this chaotic time, by leveraging our expertise to develop high quality, natural hand sanitizers,” says Karla Cheon, Yield Growth VP, Marketing. “The saying goes: ‘people don’t remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel,’ and we hope to bring some peace of mind to our community through the availability and donations of our sanitizers.”
To combat Coronavirus, if soap and water are not readily available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends consumers use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent ethyl alcohol.
On March 27, 2020 and on April 2, 2020 Health Canada’s Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD), issued Product Licenses NPN 80097926 and NPN 80098154 for Urban Juve’s hand sanitizer products.
The hand sanitizer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 17% between 2019 and 2025 according to a new report from Aritzon, with sales this year expected to reach US $11 billion in 2020, a 600% increase over last year. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are set to become a standard household good.
