Germstar ONE 2oz Hand Sanitizer Spray Bottles (6/case)

As a severe emetaphobic, this is my favorite thing in the world! I keep one everywhere i go and i gave some to my close family and friends.It does have a minty smell to it though- but it's very light. So its not really unscented but its worth it to me anyways. It's also Non-sticky, doesn't dry out your hands, and perfect size for bringing everywhere.oh to the people saying that says it doesn't work because the active ingredient is common and said not to kill the noro , this is what i have found online from the company itself:"Germstar®NoroThe company Germstar® has specifically designed a hand sanitizer that kills norovirus. It is called Germstar Noro. It's active ingredient is 63% ethanol. So, how could this possibly work when the regular 62% alcohol products don't work very well? I contacted the company to find out. I read their ingredient list, read their test results, and e-mailed the scientist who did the tests. This is what I learned. Germstar®Noro contains an emollient complex that makes it work better. The phrase "emollient complex" probably sounds fishy to you (like an anti-wrinkle cream commercial). Basically, they have added some extra ingredients that make the alcohol work much better. They also did not add glycerin (which most alcohol hand gels contain). They found that the glycerin "protects" the viruses. I believe their results and I trust that Germstar®Noro does kill norovirus, especially since the scientist who tested Germstar®Noro (Dr. Syed Sattar) is one of the top researchers in the field. Germstar®Noro is currently only available to purchase on the company's website. They are trying hard to get their product in stores. I have used Germstar®Noro for years and I really like it. "

I was paranoid about our Disney trip. I read that the gel sanitizers can “shield” some germs with build up. So we alternated between this and the gel. The scent is light and goes away. The pump works great and you can get plenty on your hands. Seems to last a long time (as in the bottle doesn’t go down fast). So easy to throw in our bags. No one got any kind of illness as we hung out with the masses.

During the winter 2 years ago, my daughter and I caught norovirus 3 times, which was just awful. We went to the museum, the indoor play areas at the mall, etc, and used gel hand sanitizers with 63% ethanol. Germstar Noro also has 63% ethyl alcohol (ethyl alcohol and ethanol are the same, C2H6O). So why would one work differently? Germstar Noro does not contain glycerin, and its the glycerin that "protects" norovirus from the alcohol.For the rest of the winter and ever since, we use Germstar Noro and haven't had any type of stomach virus since (even when friends and school mates have).PROS:1. It works!2. It doesn't smell. (Plain alcohol smell that dissipates quickly, not perfumed.)3. It doesn't dry out hands. (Awesome in the winter.)4. It's easy to use on fast moving kids. (Spray vs. gel)5. Decent price.CONS: None for me.

I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the spray. It doesn’t leave any sticky residue like the gel. Don’t know how effective it is since I haven’t used it very long.

This product is pricey, however you get what you pay for. In this case, it’s high alcohol content but with an emollient that actually softens your hands.

This is one of the only hand sanitizers on the market that kills the norovirus, aka the stomach flu. I am sure no one enjoys barfing, but when you are a mom of five it is imperative that little virus stays out of my house. Did you know your regular alcohol based hand sanitizers do not work on the stomach virus? It's true. Google that sh*t. This hand sanitizer is the best. Make sure you wet your hands thoroughly (like at least 7 or 8 sprays) and rub. It doesn't dry out your hands and doesn't feel sticky or yucky like other hand sanitizers. Keep it in your purse or car and spray those kids DOWN!

I took these little bottles of hand sanitizer everywhere, they were so easy to take out of my jean pocket or bag and spray when my hands got dirty. I used them in various situations while out in public, before eating, at school, ect and it always kept me safe. Hand washing is the best way to clean your hands but when you arent near a sink this product is great to have. I cant claim it's the reason I didnt get sick like from the norovirus (as it claims to protect against) because I've used all different brands of hand sanitizers and always had the same result of not contracting the virus. But the alcohol does clean your hands (and will burn if you have some cuts or it will dry out your skin). It has a medium odor scent. The only negative with this product is that the spray bottle makes a sound when using it so it would be dead silent in a classroom as I take it out of my pocket and everyone would stare back at me as they heard the "shoosh shoosh" :)

I am devastated that this product is no longer available. I recently found this product and bought one order. I went back to get another and it was nowhere to be found. I looked at the company's website but couldn't find any information about this product's availability or if it was discontinued. Regardless, the time I have spent with this sanitizer has been life-changing. I am (was) no longer terrified to go into public places where noro germs lurk and are impossible to get rid of aside from throughout soap and water hand washing. As we know, that is no not always an option and this spray made me feel like I had a safety net in all situations. I brought it with me everywhere. I hope that the shortage is only due to covid-19 and is not permanent discontinuation. For anyone who is aware of the presence of noro germs and wants to protect themselves from them, this is a great product. It definitely dries hands and smells very strongly, but in my experience is effective.
