Pūrē Standard
- The alcohol comes from sugar, not petrochemicals. It is biodegradable and plant-derived, and at 64% it sits comfortably above the 60% generally accepted as the threshold for an effective hand sanitiser. Effective and plant-based is a combination most of this category does not manage.
- It does not wreck your hands. Formulated as a moisturising leave-on gel with glycerin, which matters when you are using it several times a day.
- Real essential oils doing the work. Tea tree and lemon-scented tea tree, chosen for their antiseptic properties rather than added for scent. No synthetic fragrance, dyes or masking agents.
- Homes with cats and dogs, please read. This contains genuine tea tree essential oil, which is not considered safe around cats and dogs. Let your hands dry completely before touching a pet, and keep the bottle out of reach. This is the reason it does not carry our Pet Safe tag.
- No palm oil. And packaged in a 100% post-consumer recycled, recyclable bottle.
- Full ingredient list published. Which is why Transparency scores 5.

Our Take
The alcohol is sugar-derived rather than petrochemical, with enough glycerin that your skin survives repeated use. One caution: it contains real tea tree oil, which is genuinely unsafe around cats and dogs.

Frequently asked
