Why is our Hand Sanitiser for Humanity Made in China?

Like the rest of the world, 2020 caught us by surprise. No thanks to COVID-19, the world suddenly needed hand sanitiser like never before. Our first port of call was to try and increase production with our Australian supplier, however they, like many of us were not prepared for what COVID would do to local and global supply chains. At Thankyou, our highest priority at this time is to get sanitisers to the Australian public and then our profits to Impact partners to help end global poverty. So, as we worked hard to keep up with the rapidly changing situation, we needed to find a way to partner with other suppliers to increase production. The result was a short-term measure of offshore supply to deliver the limited edition Hand Sanitiser for Humanity to meet demand. As things have found a new rhythm, we have been able to increase production of our core range hand sanitisers here in Australia over the last month. We want to assure you that, as always, we have very stringent requirements on all our factories (both Australian and offshore) to ensure that our products are made using sustainable and ethical practices.
