Now that hand sanitizer has essentially become a matter of life or death, you’re likely using it far more often than you used to. You’re probably noticing how drying it can be as well, especially if you’re spraying or slathering it on multiple times a day now to ward off Covid-19.
Foregoing hand sanitizer when you’re on the go and can’t wash your hands with good old soap and water isn’t an option, but you should know that all hand sanitizers aren’t created equal. While the alcohol in the formulas is what kills the germs and bacteria we’re all trying to ward off, it’s also what dries out our hands and makes them tight and ashy within minutes of use. Now that hand sanitizer isn’t as scarce as it was at the top of the pandemic, you don’t have to settle for whatever you can find on shelves or Amazon.com. You can be a bit pickier about which products you choose to use. We put together a short list of five products that are not only good for sanitizing hands but also nourishing and moisturizing them as well. Check out our picks for hand sanitizers that are good for the skin.

And it comes in three scents (deep moisture, lavender & chamomile, and shea butter & warm vanilla) and two sizes: 2 ounces for when you’re on the go and an 8-ounce bottle that’s perfect for any shelf or countertop in your home.

Kinkō Prebiotic Hand Purifier
This French-Japanese fusion brand created its Prebiotic Hand Purifier specifically to counter the drying, irritating options currently on the market. With 65% Ethyl alcohol, this sanitizer kills germs on the skin while prebiotics and postbiotics balance the skin’s microbiome. Additional ingredients include jojoba esters which protect the skin barrier; Trehalose to prevent moisture loss and keep skin hydrated; and Bisabolol to soothe skin. The resulting product is clean, vegan, and cruelty-free, and safe for pregnant women.

Vaseline 2-in-1 Sanitizer Lotion
Vaseline’s Sanitizer Lotion is a true gamechanger. The non-alcohol based sanitizer still kills germs while preventing dehydration of the skin thanks to its lotion formula. Glycerin and vitamin E in the creamy 2-in-1 ensure hands stay moisturized even in harsh, cold temperatures and you can apply as much as you like without the need for rinsing. Simply squeeze a small amount into the palms of your hand as you would with any lotion and rub hands together until the product is fully absorbed. Unscented and suitable for sensitive skin, a 5.1-ounce bottle only costs $4.99.
