    interesting - research suggests that low alcohol and alcohol free hand sanitisers (eg Invisi Shield Extended Life and Invisi Shield Natural Alcohol Free Hand Sanitisers) aren't effective against viruses - they can help against bacteria but not viruses
    but good on SKN for being proactive, and trying to jump on the bandwagon

    "I think it might provide them with a false sense of security," Andrew McLachlan from Sydney University's School of Pharmacy said."If you're out and about and you need to use the bathroom and you want to reduce your risk of infection or exposing yourself to bacteria, then the alcohol-free products are probably fine for that."But when it comes to viruses, where we're trying to inactivate them, that is much more effective with alcohol-based hand sanitiser."

    Professor Collignon said "The trouble with low-alcohol sanitisers is that they might not have been tested or approved with data showing they will work, so they should be avoided if they can."
