Dr. Bronner's Organic Hand Sanitizer Lavender
Summary
Dr. Bronner's Organic Hand Sanitizer Lavender scores 92/100 — among the cleanest mainstream sanitizers available. Just four certified-organic, fair-trade ingredients: 62% organic ethyl alcohol (effective per CDC guidelines), organic glycerin to offset dryness, water, and organic lavender essential oil for natural fragrance. No synthetic fragrance, no propylene glycol, no carbomers, no synthetic preservatives. Dr. Bronner's is a certified B Corp with regenerative organic certification and a 5-to-1 executive pay cap — meaningfully transparent supply chain. Minor cautions are typical of any alcohol sanitizer (drying with overuse) and trace lavender allergens, which are well below sensitization thresholds.
