Amongst the many cosmetic companies venturing into the production of hand sanitizers to meet the increased demand; VLCC is a leading name. A humble effort to help the nation in its fight against the disease, VLCC has started manufacturing and distributing hand sanitizers across medical stores, wellness centres and e-commerce platforms. The sanitizers will be available in 50 ml and 500 ml packaging sizes and will be priced at Rs 25 and Rs 250 respectively. Apart from Isopropyl alcohol, these hand gels will be infused with aloe vera, rosemary oil and tea tree oil so that they’re soft on skin.
