Why StayWell® Copper Works When Hand Sanitizers Don’t

We’ve all been taught to reach for hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available. 

But here’s a critical fact most people don’t know:
Hand sanitizers only kill germs while they’re wet. Once they evaporate — usually within 20 to 30 seconds — their germ-killing power disappears. That means your hands are unprotected the moment they dry.

But that’s not the only concern.
What’s Really in Your Hand Sanitizer?
Most commercial hand sanitizers contain:
• Alcohols (like ethanol or isopropyl) that dry and damage skin
• Fragrances that may trigger allergic reactions or skin sensitivities
• Stabilizers and preservatives which are absorbed through the skin and accumulate over time

Studies have shown repeated use of these products may lead to absorption of potentially harmful chemicals into the bloodstream — especially in children, whose skin is more permeable. Some ingredients have even been linked to hormone disruption and other long-term health risks.
Sadly, hand sanitizers only work when they are wet; once they dry, they have no effect at all just leaving behind red, dry, chapped hands.

StayWell® Copper: Safe, Natural, and Always Working
Unlike sanitizers, StayWell® Copper kills 99.97% of germs — wet or dry. Copper’s natural antimicrobial properties don’t rely on moisture or chemical additives. Copper ions actively disrupt bacterial and viral membranes on contact, working continuously without needing to be reapplied — and without introducing synthetic chemicals into your body.

The Science Behind It
• Sanitizers use alcohol to denature proteins in microbes — but only while wet.
• Copper releases ions penetrating and destroying pathogens — even when dry.

This means StayWell® Copper keeps working long after your sanitizer has stopped. Neither are a replacement for handwashing, but StayWell® Copper is a powerful layer of protection that never quits — and never compromises your health.
