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.
