At Olika, we believe that clean hands are happy hands. That’s why we specialize in creating effective, eco-friendly hand sanitizer products that keep hands clean without harsh chemicals.
Our Story
The Olika story begins with a simple idea – there must be a better way to keep hands clean. We started our company in 2020, at the onset of a global pandemic that heightened public awareness of the importance of hand hygiene. During such uncertain times, we saw an opportunity to make a positive difference by providing hand sanitizer options that were safer, more sustainable, and gentler on skin.
While hand sanitizer was flying off store shelves, much of what was available contained concerning ingredients like phthalates and parabens. We knew we could create something better. Our team of experts got to work crafting a line of hand sanitizers that cleaned effectively while using thoughtful ingredients. We poured our hearts into developing the proprietary, patented Olika formula which relies on ethyl alcohol to eliminate germs without risky additives.
As a woman-owned company based in the USA, we take pride in the integrity of our supply chain. We closely monitor each step of the production process to guarantee the quality and safety of our products. Our hand sanitizer formula is produced in California under stringent standards for purity and potency.
Once our products were ready, we couldn’t wait to share them with the world. The positive response from our first customers encouraged us to keep improving and expanding our hand sanitizer selection.

Our Ingredients
At Olika, we believe the best hand sanitizer comes from the best ingredients. We meticulously vet each component in our formula to ensure both effectiveness and gentleness.
Ethyl alcohol serves as the active ingredient across our product line. Derived from sugarcane, ethyl alcohol provides powerful, fast-acting antimicrobial properties to eliminate 99.9% of germs. We use pharmaceutical-grade ethyl alcohol manufactured to strict standards for purity.
Aloe vera infuses our formula with soothing natural moisture. Known for its hydrating and healing abilities, aloe vera helps protect hands from dryness. Its antioxidant properties support healthy skin.
Vitamin E is another antioxidant our products rely on to nourish hands. This essential nutrient enhances softness and suppleness to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Glycerin attracts and seals in moisture for smooth, comfortable skin. It acts as a natural humectant to prevent hands from drying out.
Essential oils like lavender, vanilla, and citrus impart light, pleasant scents while also promoting skin health. We use only pure, undiluted essential oils.
By blending these thoughtful ingredients, we created a proprietary formula that strikes the perfect balance between effectiveness and gentleness. Our products sanitize hands without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or harsh chemicals.

At Olika, we hold ourselves to high standards when it comes to product quality, ethics, and social responsibility. We strive for complete transparency and integrity across all aspects of our business.
