Common questions
How long does one application last?
Covexall keeps killing germs on contact for up to 4 hours after it dries. Washing your hands removes it, so apply it again after you wash.
Is there alcohol in it?
No. Covexall is water based. The active ingredient is benzalkonium chloride at 0.10%.
Will it dry out my hands?
No. Alcohol strips the natural oils from your skin. Covexall has no alcohol and is made with glycerin, so it will not dry out or crack your skin with repeated use.
Does it sting on cuts?
No. With no alcohol in the formula, it is painless on cuts, scrapes and hangnails.
How do I use it?
Rub it thoroughly over all surfaces of both hands, then rub your hands together briskly until dry. That takes about 30 seconds.
Can my kids use it?
Covexall has no alcohol and is not flammable. As with any hand sanitizer, keep it out of reach of children and supervise their use. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
