Germ X is a non-antibiotic based antibacterial hand sanitizer that is made mostly of simply alcohols and glycerin. These molecules are very polar and volatile - when they contact the surface of a bacterium they pull the water out of the bacterium and basically dry it to death. These molecules are also able to disrupt the lipid capsule of enveloped viruses (such as influenza and rhinovirus), and this mechanism may also destroy some bacteria.
