Is it safe to use alcohol hand sanitizer on my baby’s skin?

The short answer is yes, and here’s why:

• Alcohol-based sanitizers that use ethyl alcohol (the kind in wine and spirits) are safer than the ones that use isopropyl alcohol (the kind in rubbing alcohol). Though isopropyl alcohol is very effective at killing germs, it’s more toxic. 
• Spray sanitizer is safer to use on babies and toddlers, because they can’t swallow it like they can with liquid sanitizer. 
• When you can’t wash your baby’s hands with soap and water, 70% alcohol spray sanitizer is the most convenient defense against germs. 

OmniProtect is a 70% alcohol sanitizer spray with ethyl alcohol in its composition, which is safer for your baby’s skin.
