Stay clean, confident, and germ-free wherever you go. Skip the Germs is an alcohol-free hand sanitizer lotion that combines 0.1% benzalkonium chloride (a proven antimicrobial) with nourishing botanicals. Our fast-acting formula kills germs on contact without the drying burn of alcohol-based sanitizers. Enriched with aloe vera, olive oil and vitamin E, it hydrates and protects skin so your hands stay soft and healthy as you skip the germs on the go.
What Is Skip the Germs?
Skip the Germs is a gentle yet powerful hand-sanitizing lotion designed to kill bacteria on your hands and keep them moisturized. Its active ingredient is 0.1% benzalkonium chloride, an FDA-approved broad-spectrum antiseptic that kills harmful germs while soothing skin. Unlike ordinary sanitizers, Skip the Germs mixes this germ-fighter into a creamy lotion with plant-based oils, aloe vera and vitamin E. That means when you use it, you’re not just sanitizing – you’re also caring for your skin. Perfect for busy families, travelers or anyone who wants clean, soft hands on demand.
Why Choose Skip the Germs for Everyday Protection
Gentle Yet Powerful Formula
Skip the Germs uses benzalkonium chloride, a silicone-based, alcohol-free antimicrobial that’s effective against bacteria (and even viruses). This broad-spectrum germ-fighter “kills germs while strengthening the skin’s ability to resist moisture contamination,” so it’s tough on germs but gentle on skin.
No Alcohol, No Dryness
Alcohol can dry and crack skin, especially with frequent use. Skip the Germs skips the alcohol entirely. Instead, our formula delivers sanitizing power without the sting. You’ll notice it’s non-sticky and mild – it leaves a light, pleasant lavender scent (thanks to real lavender and chamomile extracts) and a silky feel, not tight or dry skin.
Safe for All Ages
We formulated Skip the Germs to be safe for the whole family. Because it’s alcohol-free and enriched with soothing ingredients, it’s gentle enough for kids yet effective enough for adults. In fact, clinical evaluations note similar benzalkonium lotion gels as safe for everyone “including healthcare personnel” to use regularly. From toddlers to grandparents (and even professionals!), Skip the Germs keeps hands clean and healthy.
Dermatologist-Approved & Trusted
Our lab-tested formula is created under strict quality standards. It’s dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and designed for frequent use. Independent reviews of similar non-alcohol gels praised them as “non-greasy” and “immediately softening” the skin. Plus, Skip the Germs is Health Canada and FDA approved as an antibacterial sanitizer. Use it confidently – it meets top regulatory guidelines and passes professional safety checks.
How Skip the Germs Keeps You Safe
Skip the Germs fights germs in a few simple steps, each backed by science. Apply a small amount of the lotion to your dry hands. Rub it thoroughly over all hand surfaces – including between fingers and fingertips – until dry. Our formula then leaves a thin protective film that lasts for hours, even after normal activities. This quick absorption means you get instant germ protection and immediate moisture. Benzalkonium chloride (0.1%) works by disrupting and killing bacteria on contact, but it won’t evaporate or wear off as quickly as alcohol, so your skin stays shielded longer.
Step 1: Apply a dime-sized amount to clean or lightly soiled hands.
Step 2: Rub hands together, covering fingers, nails and backs of hands.
Step 3: Let lotion dry. Enjoy hours of germ protection with soft, conditioned skin.
(Our formula is lab-tested and proven effective against common pathogens. Remember: for tough cleaning, handwashing with soap is still best when you can, but Skip the Germs is the perfect ally on the go.)
Simple Ways to Skip the Germs in Daily Life
Staying germ-free is more than just one lotion – it’s smart habits, too. Follow these tips and you’ll skip the germs every day:
Wash or sanitize after public contact. After touching door knobs, shopping carts, elevator buttons or handrails, clean your hands promptly. The CDC notes that “handwashing with soap removes germs from hands” and prevents infections. If you can’t wash, use Skip the Germs immediately.
Carry Skip the Germs with you. Keep a small bottle in your purse, backpack or car. Whether you’re at school, work, the airport, or playground, a quick pump (or squirt) and rub is an easy way to disinfect hands when soap and water aren’t nearby.
Avoid touching your face. Germs on your hands often enter the body through eyes, nose or mouth. Remind yourself and your kids to steer clear of face-touching until after hands are clean.
Clean frequently-touched items. Your phone, keys and wallet can harbor thousands of microbes. In fact, studies show that if you touch a contaminated phone then your face, “you’ve made it very possible for those germs to find their way into your body”. Wipe down gadgets and surfaces with a disinfectant wipe regularly to cut this risk.
Practice family hygiene. Make hand-cleaning a group habit. Wash hands before meals, after outdoor play, and whenever someone’s sneezing or coughing. Kids especially learn by example, so washing hands together and praising a job well done goes a long way. Healthy habits plus Skip the Germs protection keep everyone safer.
