TA. Will edit it.
TA Will edit it.
Will he?
Probably too late now, but some Scotts in the same bottle (and other sizes) and label but without the percentage, were being advertised as having 62%. Maybe they upped the percentage for covid, so check the % is on the label. Not sure why. Just worth noting.
If its old stock that was 62% theres not likely to be any of that still around.
label says 70% v/v ethanol?
TA…
You can also get this at MyChemist, and then you can use the coupon "FS7824" to get free delivery over $20 instead also :)
Brilliant! Didn't need 5, but I ordered 2 with free shipping.
Saw this at a corner store for $35 3 weeks ago.
the exact same one is $22 at supermarket in SA
Price match?

Bargain. Kogan's 'deal' is 12 x 450ml bottles for 27.50 EACH, as in each 450ml bottle !
Thanks. Ordered 2 bottles.
Thank you. Will update it.
I tried using the code, but no free shipping for me.
Same here
Nice one!
Thank you!
Out of Topic: Is MyChemist and CW the same "company"?
Their pages look very, very similar.
Yeah they're part of the Chemist Warehouse brand, their brands include:
Chemist Warehouse
Chemist Warehouse New Zealand
My Chemist
My Beauty Spot
Not too sure why they want to have multiple websites / stores, they're essentially the exactly the same.
Thanks for the explanation.
So that they can charge different prices for the same thing in premium locations
Regulations on the number of pharmacies and how close they can be in Australia under the same brand…
@bargain ben: There is 2 Chemist Warehouse's opposite each other in Box Hill, Vic, very odd.
But I would recommend the smaller 1 opposite Box Hill central, as I was blatantly lied to & over charged on a PBS script at the bigger store.
"ePharmacy" is also. Apparently it is due to the number of "pharmacies" under a brand and I believe the different sites can have slightly different range. I would not be surprised if they used the different sites for different pricing or to show particular products to different target markets. ePharmacy online is often the one told to patients that are on certain drug trials or "discount programs (read - drug manufacturer hasn't got their product listed on the PBS so they offer you a "discount" through ePharmacy including free expresss shipping), such as the Vysa program from Shire/Takeda.
Interestingly for the medication I have bought from ePharmacy, when there have been stock issues from the supplier etc, the people contacting me are from the Chemist Warehouse online distirubtion/warehouse - a massive place in the Brisbane suburbs. The email addresses and email signatures even say Chemist Warehouse in them.
Thanks for that doweyy. Ordered 2 with free shipping. + for you.
you saved this deal, thanks
Thanks
Champion! Thanks!
Thanks doweyy!! Just purchased 2 bottles using the code. ;)
We have these at work. Only use as last resort it smells like a turd after use. You've been warned
Dang it just after i ordered 2.
No worries if you can tolerate or use as backup
You can cancel right away. Go to your orders and there is a cancel order.
Can't be that bad? You mean the alcohol smell? Mind you it is a 70% alcohol inside, few drops of essence oil may help? Lol
I don't remember the smell exactly but I nearly spewed last week when I smelt my hands right after using it lol
I'd still use it though if I had no choice I'd just wouldn't wave my hands near my/others face
Yeah, I am very grateful that we are doing very well in Australia at least we have medical supplies to use.
It is really bad. We had them a couple of weeks ago. We had to get rid most of it because of how bad it was. They were $6 a bottle few weeks ago. Cheap for a reason
thanks fellas saved me from getting it!
if that is the case they should have called it "Scotty from Marketing's Hand Sanitiser"
They missed a huge opportunity right there.
Essence of Scotty? Very apt.
That’ll help with social distancing.
Lol, some gems to be found in comments at times.
Stop sticking your fingers up there and I am sure the problem will be solved.
Sounds good, helps with social distancing
Thanks - pulled the plug!
It's not supposed to be perfume.
Im a huge fan of Microshield Angel Clear 🥺 very aesthetic
Yes I have a clear one plus a blue one that has a quite pleasant fragrance added whereas the clear has none. Also have Bactol which is blue but also has macadamia oil added to keep your hands moisturised.
Now let the oversupply begin…
Agree, been seeing these sitting on shelves at my local IGA not moving at $20 a bottle.
every tom dick and harry making sanitiser now
FS7824 does not work :(
It works for mychemist not chemistwarehouse
Here https://www.mychemist.com.au/buy/100301/scotts-aloe-hand-san…
I regret buying the amino z deal before
Yeah, I guess the panic is subsiding gradually. Now that every tom dick and harry making sanitisers, it is just a matter of time that it will start selling below cost.
Why? The amino z sanitizer is 80% ethyl alcohol while this is 70%.
why?
Not a bad price, a local grocer was selling this for $35 last week…
Saw the same, scoffed and walked off.
Our new daily infections graph and the historical graph of mask and hand sanitizer prices is pretty much identical.
This stuff doesn't smell great, but if you do need sanitizer it will do the job well enough
Thx op buy 3 from ny chemist
thanks, OP and doweyy - my family of four had been using one of those tiny aloe vera handbag size ones and it is about to finish
Thanks op
Yeah bought 3 from my chemist with free shipping before the “it smells like turd” comment, instant regret. Hope it’s not that bad.
Ingredients: Alcohol, Aqua, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castro Oil, Triethanolamine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl AcrylateCross Polymer, Fragrance.
This one does not have WHO Guide required concentration.
Ethanol 80% (v/v)
-or-
Isopropyl alcohol 75% (v/v)
what's the point of buying this then if it is under the WHO guidelines….
what's the point of buying
No point really. I am now looking at Dettol and they have not listed the concentration either.
Can't have looked very hard
Ingredient name: ethanol
% (w/w): ≥60 - ≤75
It might be best for you to stop giving advice on hand sanitiser.
@dm01: If we listened to WHO religiously we'd all be dead lol. Remember the 'don't wear masks it's useless'? Dettol is a household brand name with less than 80%. Unless something has changed then nearly all hand sanisiters on the market are "ineffective" against covid
@Keraswarl: I wonder who brought the whole thing to our attention in the first place, oh wait, it was the WHO. Back in December and January, when no one outside China, or even the province it started from, knew about it.
Remarks about the WHO, are all politically motivated by politicians who dropped the ball, even went so far as to dismiss the WHO out of hand and now they have a significant number of the planets infected, and a death rate of those infected 5 times ours.
The WHO told told governments they might want to pay attention to China right now. Politicians and local health authorities had no clue until the WHO blew the lid. At this point, the WHO has done everything a 1st world country needs of them.
And then some of those 1st world governments did very little about it (Aus, we let hundreds of genuinely infected people off boats to get in taxis, buses and trains to go home etc), and some did far worse by waiting until it was much too late (US). Trump argued with the WHO, as he always does with any expert, saying it was all good, they had it beaten back in February, he knows better than everyone and they had the best response of all time blah blah, better than anyones, so good you wont believe it. Went on Fox to do it.
Turns out he understood not a thing. Most of their infections came from non Chinese people in the next month. Who knew other countries people could catch this disease everyone even those who arent in China should be worried about? Proof positive how stupid that guy is, but I digress. Oh yeah, just blame the WHO, that covers it up. They didnt make him understand, they didnt hold him down and shout in his ear. Maybe tickle him until he relents and listens. And now wider right wing politicians want to ride his coat tails, and not call into question the remarks of the clown guru. Thats not popular with a certain section of the voting public, worldwide.
Dettol stated themselves, they had not been able to obtain a sample of Sars Cov2 (this pandemic), and therefore had no idea if Dettol was effective. What was known, was the alcohol percentages given were sure to work. As will Chlorine and some others etc but these are far less friendly on hands. So the WHO recipe was responsible, and safe.
Let me try something -
There was a run on masks making it hard for frontline health workers to get access too them for several months which adds to the spread, not only of health care workers, but those they come in contact with. Spread means more numbers, and the number of respirators has not grown. Less people in need of a respirator, more people survive. We have a death rate of just over 1% deaths of those infected because health experts got Morrisson to listen and flatten the curve. The world has 6% on average death rare, the US is at 5%. But 1% was possible, the US probably could have been under 1% if it wasnt run like it is.
Masks can be a bad idea because people wear them incorrectly, and they reuse them. You put your gloves on, then the mask, or vice versa, but its been reused and has Sars Cov2 on it. Its now on your gloves, or hands, and you lick up a tin in the supermarket then put it down. Or take it home, and someone at home touches it. All this can make masks a worse idea, it is the source of your or your families infection. It can make the mask a source of the virus.
The rest of the usual garbage, ie: questions regarding human to human transfer very early on was stated in terms of "as far as we know", and "China has said", at a time when only China knew. The WHO just told us what they knew at the time. This is not the same as saying there is no human to human transfer. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a poor grasp of English. Dont be lazy, read for meaning.
The WHO needs to keep a door open to China, or we would likely not even know it existed until March or even much closer to now. And the numbers of infected and those yet to come down with symptoms would be astronomical, there would be no flattening of the curve and respirator access would be first come first serve and MOST would miss out. Youd want to be one of the early patients, not late.
The WHO are diplomats with health expertise. They are not an army, police, or politicians. If the WHO spoke as some expect them too, pointing fingers in a manner that is acrimonious, they would be far less in a position to bring news of a problem early on. China would just shut the door on them like they were Jehovahs knocking.
Dont be a shill for politicians looking for a scapegoat to save their own asses. Now its time for politicians and governments to call China to account, and then those governments can reap the economic backlash as China flexes its economic might. Watch as politicians balk at that in any real terms.
We will get a show, but little action will follow. But they blame the WHO, people fall for it, and then expect little of those who we actually should expect full response from, our elected governments.
'Hey public" dangles the WHO in front of the crowd, "look, shiney thing"
…and that takes the pressure off the expert liars, most politicians.
I remember most guidelines recommend for at least 60% of alcohol. 70% Ethanol is commonly used in the laboratory for cleaning purposes.
You're confusing "required concentration" with recipe.
Minimum 60% v/v is required, as specified by EN 1500.
From page 5 of your linked PDF:
Hygienic handrub
The microbicidal activity of the two WHO-recommended formulations was tested by WHO reference laboratories according to EN standards (EN 1500). Their activity was found to be equivalent to the reference substance (isopropanol 60% v/v) for hygienic hand antisepsis.
@dm01: what does this actually mean? Is this product safe for using as hand sanitiser to kill Covid ?
@dammit: In means 60% is the recommended minimum, and the Dettol formulation qualifies.
The WHO recipes exceed this minimum, but that's because they've formulated to also be used for "presurgical hand preparation", though you should read the note about this in the above-linked PDF if you're going to be using it for this purpose.
Like soap and water, you need to use hand sanitiser correctly, so apply it allover your hands and then allow an appropriate amount of time for the alcohol to do its job (listen for the agonised screaming of the germs to stop).
they've formulated to also be used for "presurgical hand preparation"
I would prefer a hospital-grade given the type of situation we are in.
No idea about WHO guidelines, but cda and many health organisations say at least 60%
WHO is under Chinese government whhich means everythings from it useless and lie. Dont rely on WHO.
You obviously have zero understanding about how WHO operates and who contributes to its guidelines. Like all large organisations it ain't perfect.
Thanks for the neg Tiger/Rico. You must be aghast at all those entertainers who are raising money for WHO. Why do you think they're doing that? Perhaps they understand the importance of WHO's work across the globe?
Is this gel type or watery?
gel
Like a very thin gel
Finally, can smell like a turd without the mess.
I just had a sniff of mine and smells fine…….. Scotts Hand Sanitiser that is.
How about on the hand? Lol
Ok ive just done the test, had clean hands to start with, poured, evaporated, smells fine… has subtle floral notes
@LSGH: I did the same trying to cancel my order. Not sure if they actually cancelled my order but tracking number was given.
