Hand Sanitiser Unit Price Comparison List

Given the many posts on OzBargain of various companies selling hand sanitiser, I'd thought a comparison of unit prices would be useful to gauge the level of price increase compared to the regular prices before COVID-19 took hold.

The prices below excludes shipping and other discounts such as first time order discounts. These items aren't necessarily in stock either.

If you have found any others, or have updated prices, please comment below with a link.

Thank you and hope you find this useful.

    However maybe divide into a couple of Tables based on size, as we know smaller sizes will be more expensive.

    eg 1 litre
    500ml +
    200ml+
    100 ml+
    etc

    • Yes, that is a good idea.

      The usefulness of a large all-in spreadsheet is to demonstrate where an item of moderate volume sits, even when compared to a 60mL Aqium bottle at normal price at Chemist Warehouse.

  • +1

    Also, ABV will vary and cause the Price to vary.

    Sydney Solvents we have a bit to do with, and when all this virus shit started, they sent out emails and put a notice up on their website detailing that their bigger, more regular customers get looked after as a priority, but everyone else would get shafted, only to put their isopropyl and metho on eBay at ridiculously inflated prices, like $800 for 5l of iso…

    • Yes, I was googling about 2 weeks ago and came across Sydney Solvents. I also saw their notice on the website. I thought that as a wholesaler, they are a good comparator to have on the list.

    • Are you sure it was being sold by Sydney Solvents?

      When I looked on ebay a couple of weeks ago the Sydney Solvents ebay store had no stock of any Iso, but there were a lot of people reselling their Iso with Sydney Solvents in the title and re-using the same thumbnails, and for insane prices. The worst prices were actually on the auctions.

      • Yes. They had both "buy it now" prices and standard auctions. I reported all of their listings that were over inflated, as too I am guessing many others did, as they were on my watch list and then were not.

        I think it's just a douche thing to do to restrict regular customers/public people buying on their website, just so they could list on eBay and sell to idiots at over inflated prices.

        We have since changed suppliers and wont be using them at work again.

    im guessing a column for availability and stockist would help

    • Unfortunately, I'm not going to have much time to constantly check for availability. It would most likely be wrong from 1 hour to another. As for stockists, most on the list are individual companies and most have already been posted on OzB https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/hand-sanitiser

  • Can someone clear something up for me. What is the minimum percentage required for corona, and is that measured by weight or volume. Alcohol is 20% lighter than water, so it's quite confusing

  • +1

    Hand santiser is a scam.

    I just carry a bottle of vodka around with me to kill the germs in my body and use soap and water for my hands

    • But what is your (percentage) proof?
      (A little Vodka joke) lol

    • Most Vodka is around the 40-50% mark. Not 70% mark

  • https://potsonline.com.au/product/gel-hand-sanitiser-450ml/

    Looks like the same stuff as IGA but more expensive

    • Thank you. Added.

  • Shock horror, buy larger sized items and they are cheaper. This rule applies to just about EVERYTHING out there including food.

    Vegemite small jar per gram is twice the price of the mega jar. Who knew?

    • Not necessarily as can be demonstrated by the list.

  • There is a distillery in Carirington Newcastle, which sells 1 L 80% for $40, but can only sell it with a bottle of drinking Alcohol, when shipping.

    • Might be different with couriers. but Australia post only allow max 24%, so if you sold that 1l 80% alcohol with 1litre of water, the average is still 40% and over the 24% limitation.

    Great Job lomie

  • Brisbane distillery https://www.bstill.com.au/online-gin-store-brisbane/Hand-San…

    80% alchol - 5L for $150 = $30 p/L

    Edit (most of their smaller volumes have run out of stock - i.e. they had 900ml and 2L)

    • Thank you. Added.

  • Woolworths have been selling this for $14.95 https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/88935/skin…

    So $29/L

  • Also bondi wash sells their artisan all natural hand spray at a high marked up price - 50ml for $16, 1L for $100
    https://bondiwash.com.au/products/hand-sanitiser-spray

  • Also this gem made in Adelaide using superior ingredients.
    $280/litre, but it's ok it's in a glass bottle.
    https://www.kindredself.com.au/shop/cleansed-mist

  • Also https://www.nonib.com.au/home-essentials/pack-of-10-hand-san…
    10 x 100ml for $60 plus $10 shipping

    (I keep getting emails from the most random places trying to sell hand sanitiser)

  • Karst, shipping from 30 April onwards
    https://www.sanitiser.karststonepaper.com/products/hand-sani…

    $22 per 500ml = $44/1000ml

    not the cheapest, but add can add to the list
