Hand Sanitizer Has Become a Hot Commodity for U.S. Consumers

Houston, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2020) - It's no secret there's been a massive run on hand sanitizer.

That's especially true after the World Health Organization advised that we use "an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol" and that we should "always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty."

Even the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has strongly recommended using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol to help kill the virus.

Plus, according to a new study in Emerging Infectious Diseases, as highlighted by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, "Swiss and German researchers found that alcohol-based hand sanitizers recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) are effective in killing the novel coronavirus."

"Infection control instructions call for use of alcohol-based hand rub solutions to inactivate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We determined the virucidal activity of World Health Organization-recommended hand rub formulations, at full strength and multiple dilutions, and of the active ingredients. All disinfectants demonstrated efficient virus inactivation," per the report.

Those very recommendations have led to a substantial increase in demand.

For example, the makers of Purell, GOJO Industries recently said, "We are seeing a substantial increase in demand. We have experienced several demand surges in the past during other outbreaks, and this is on the higher end of the spectrum."

At the same time, we're also seeing shortages for hand sanitizer. However, companies are racing to keep up with such sizable demand.

One of the Potential Beneficiaries is Yield Growth Corp.

The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF) just announced that its Urban Juve hand sanitizer spray is now available for pre-order in Canada online at UrbanJuve.com. Manufacturing is set to begin by the end of April in Canada and products are expected to begin shipping in May. Retail orders are now being accepted by Urban Juve for stores in Canada.

"Given the urgent need for this product to help combat the spread of COVID-19, our team moved mountains to bring it to market in record time," says Tamara Melck, Yield Growth COO. "The team's passion and heart for getting more sanitizer into the hands of those who so desperately need it galvanized their hard work and tireless efforts. We are all proud and grateful to play even a small role in keeping people healthy and safe during this crisis."
