LVMH will use its perfume and cosmetics factories to manufacture free hand sanitizer for France

LVMH announced on Sunday that its cosmetic units would manufacture large quantities of hand sanitisers to help stave off a nationwide shortage across France as the coronavirus rapidly spreads. ⁣⁣

The hydroalcoholic gels are to be delivered “free of charge to the health authorities that include the Assistance Publique-Hospitaux de Paris,” added the luxury conglomerate which owns brands like LouisVuitton, Dior, and Givenchy. ⁣⁣

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing your hands to reduce the spread of Covid-19, but if soap and water are unavailable, hand sanitisers with at least 60% alcohol can also be effective. ⁣⁣
