Violet,
You should be aware of the toxic, dangerous nature of the Benzalkonium Chloride in the X3 product you mention. It is not an innocuous natural chemical by any stretch of the imagination. Health Canada and the US FDA and notable private health providers like the Mayo Clinic have only recommended 60%+ alcohol based sanitizers for consumers as safe and effective.

The Environmental Working Group identifies which cosmetics, including sanitizers and other skin care products are more toxic than others in their Cosmetic Database. www.cosmeticsdatabase.com
At work we purchased a foaming Hand Sanitizer that is Alcohol Free called X3 and we purchased it at Zellers . This is supposed to be as effective as the alcohol based products and is also fragrance free. This is especially good for me as I have very sensitive skin that is constantly breaking out on my hands and the alcohol sanitizers really burn, so I am reluctant to use them.
