Muse Health, a division of CC Wellness, has donated more than $1.3 million in hand sanitizers to Ukraine Health Facilities.
The donated 2.1 million ounces of product — strict USP grade (US Pharmacopeia) hand sanitizer and hand wash — is being distributed in Ukraine by United Help Ukraine, a Maryland-based nonprofit.
According to Dr. Jarno Habicht, head of the World Health Organization country office in Ukraine, the shortage has been deterring healthcare workers from following appropriate hand hygiene procedures.
"Ukrainian hospitals are under unprecedented pressure,” said United Help Ukraine President Maryna Baydyuk. “The number of people they need to treat has increased dramatically, while the supply chains are overburdened. The Muse Health donation will allow our partner hospitals in Ukraine to replenish their stock and continue providing lifesaving services."
Founded during the Covid-19 pandemic with the mission to help people feel safe and protected, Muse Health, prior to this initiative, had already donated more than 55,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to those in need.
"We recognize how critical it is for people to feel safe in tough circumstances," CC Wellness CMO Mimi Anderson said. "We know hand sanitizer on its own can't change the world, but supporting people when they need it most can make a lasting difference."
Muse Health hand sanitizer kills 99.9 percent of germs in 15 seconds, while nourishing and hydrating with Vitamin E and glycerin. The FDA- and CDC-compliant, vegan, and cruelty-free formulas are available on Amazon.com and at musehealth.com.
