Alcare Foaming Hand Sanitizer

Alcare is SC Johnson Professional's foaming, alcohol-based hand sanitizer line built for high-use clinical and institutional settings where hand hygiene compliance matters. The ethyl alcohol formulas — running from 62% up to the 60–100% strength of Alcare Extra — meet the standards infection-control teams look for while the foaming delivery spreads easily across the hands and dries without the sticky residue that discourages repeat use.

This collection is organized around a complete dispensing system rather than one-off bottles. The Alcare Plus Foaming Hand Sanitizer comes in 5.4 oz. and 17 oz. aerosol cans and a 9 oz. size, all in an alcohol scent, making them practical for exam rooms, nursing stations, and point-of-care placement. For sanitizer stations, the SC Johnson Alcare Hand Sanitizer Dispenser is a wall-mounted manual unit with 9 oz. capacity, and the unscented Alcare Extra Foaming Sanitizer ships in 1000 mL dispenser refill bottles for high-traffic facilities that need to top up frequently.

Buyers typically ask whether these products are alcohol-based (yes — ethyl alcohol), whether a scent-free option exists (Alcare Extra is unscented, useful for staff sensitive to fragrance), and how to standardize a station: pair the wall-mount dispenser with the 1000 mL refills for a fixed hand-hygiene point, and keep aerosol cans on hand for mobile or overflow use.
