The Georgia-Pacific aloe fragrance gel hand sanitizer comes in a bottle with a pump, contains ethyl alcohol, is fragrant, and can be set in a washroom or another work area and used to sterilize and moisten the hands. Ethyl alcohol kills bacteria. Aloe vera and vitamin E can moisten the hands and help prevent them from drying out. The pump can be pressed down to dispense the sanitizer. The bottle contains 18 oz. of sanitizer, or up to 350 portions.

Hand sanitizers (also called hand antiseptics) are liquids, gels, or foams that help reduce the number of germs on hands when a small amount is rubbed into the skin; no rinsing with water or drying with towels is needed. In situations when soap and water are not available, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands, but do not eliminate every kind of pathogenic microorganism. Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty. They are available in a range of sizes, from small bottles for personal use to large mounted dispensers for public or institutional use. They are also available as wipes: small, disposable paper or nonwoven towels soaked in a hand sanitizer liquid. Hand sanitizers are typically part of hand hygiene programs at health care and food processing facilities, where pathogenic microorganisms are common.

Georgia-Pacific manufactures tissue, pulp, paper, packaging, building products, and paper-related chemicals. The company, founded in 1927, is headquartered in Atlanta, GA.
