Hand sanitizers are a quick and convenient way to clean your hands whether you are at school, on the subway or on the go. However, hand sanitizer can be dangerous for you.

BPA mimics our hormones and disrupts our bodies’ functioning systems. Frighteningly enough, high BPA has been linked to hormone disorders, heart disease, infertility and cancer.
