The chemical properties of Benzalkonium chloride make it a good candidate for persistent antimicrobial activity on human tissue.

Artemis Antiseptic Foam Hand Sanitizer is very effective at reducing pathogenic bacteria on the skin.
At this time FDA does not allow makers of instant hand sanitizers to make claims against specific types of bacterial pathogens, viruses and fungi due to its concern those consumers will take away a message that the particular illness caused by these bacterial pathogens, viruses and fungi will be completely prevented through use of the product.
However, proper hand hygiene is one of the most important tools to prevent the spread of illness. This is why the CDC and various other organizations recommend hand-washing or use of an instant hand sanitizer, like Artemis Antiseptic Foam hand Sanitizer, when soap and water are not available.
