What is the Best Hand Sanitizer Composition?


During epidemics and with growing awareness of the dangers posed by microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi—it is essential to wash and sanitize hands frequently. The right composition of disinfecting liquids and gels ensures effective disinfection. Hand sanitizers available from Merida are designed for optimal effectiveness.
To effectively disinfect hands against the coronavirus, a disinfectant must contain at least 60% alcohol. The products offered by Merida meet this requirement and also feature a skin-friendly pH. They include additional ingredients that help prevent skin from drying out. For example, the inclusion of glycerin mitigates the drying effect of disinfection, allowing for more frequent use and enhancing safety.


Which Hand Sanitizer Should You Choose?


Merida offers a wide selection of hand and surface disinfectants. Products with more than 60% alcohol concentration are adequate for combating COVID-19, as well as other bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This concentration is recommended by the Ministry of Health as a preventive measure against the coronavirus.
One highly recommended product is Merida Polana DDR +, which is endorsed by national institutions for fighting enveloped viruses and others.

Research published by the Department of Virology at the National Institute of Public Health in Warsaw supports this claim (*Trzcińska A., Czestcik A., Łagosz B., Siennicka J.

Department of Virology, National Institute of Public Health - National Institute of Hygiene, Warsaw MED MICROBIOL. EXPOSURE, 69: 133-141*). This preparation is registered as a biocidal product with marketing authorization No. 7473/18, dated August 17, 2018.


Merida Polana DDR + is a ready-to-use, alcohol-based preparation that contains three active substances: ethanol, isopropanol, and phenoxyethanol. It is effective against fungi, bacteria, and viruses and is intended for hygienic hand disinfection. Its formulation guarantees high effectiveness, a skin-friendly pH, and the inclusion of glycerin, which moisturizes and nurtures your hands.
