Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Refreshing Aloe Gel

Purell is one of the most recognized names in the hygiene industry, widely credited with popularizing alcohol-based hand sanitizer globally. The brand originated in Akron, Ohio, in 1988, developed by the family-owned company GOJO Industries. It was initially designed for the foodservice and healthcare industries before becoming a household retail staple in the late 1990s.

Today, Purell remains under the ownership of GOJO Industries, which continues to be a privately held, family-run enterprise. While GOJO has a global presence, the vast majority of Purell hand sanitizer production occurs in the United States, specifically across its manufacturing facilities in Ohio. In Canada, GOJO products are typically distributed through GOJO Industries - Canada, Inc., ensuring wide availability in retail and commercial sectors.
