Hadley King, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York, previously told Shopping that this EO hand sanitizer is her personal favorite because she “loves the way it smells and its ingredients are safe: Alcohol sourced from non-GMO sugar cane, vegetable glycerin and jojoba seed oil.” It also features glycerin and dimethicone to help hydrate your skin and smells like lavender.
