It uses a 69% ethyl alcohol base to kill 99.9% of germs and bacteria while incorporating safflower oleosomes and plant-based emollients intended to counter the drying effect alcohol-based sanitizers can have. The scent blends five essential oils, with notes of cedar, citrus, rosemary and lavender. This listing is the 3oz travel-size gel bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula includes witch hazel extract and certified organic aloe vera powder alongside the alcohol and emollients. The travel-size bottle is made with 65% post-consumer recycled plastic and can be refilled using the brand's 17oz refill bag. For use, the product should be applied to the palm and rubbed thoroughly until dry, and children under age 5 require adult supervision when using it; it should not be used on children or infants under 2 years of age unless directed by a health care practitioner. It is for external use only and flammable: keep it away from open flame and sources of heat, avoid contact with eyes, and keep it out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gel is generally non-sticky and quick-absorbing with a scent that lingers lightly rather than smelling like rubbing alcohol, though the texture can be slow to dry for some hands and the scent may read as stronger than a typical light fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e69% ethyl alcohol formula kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated with safflower oleosomes and plant-based emollients for lasting moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScented with a blend of five essential oils: cedar, citrus, rosemary and lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains witch hazel extract and aloe vera powder (certified organic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle made with 65% post-consumer recycled plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefillable using the brand's 17oz refill bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel-size format designed for on-the-go use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrustScore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrustScore is Birch's proprietary rating, from 0 to 100, built from 50+ signals that reflect what actually matters to parents — safety, materials, recalls, certifications and quality.
