South Florida Pharmaceutical Entrepreneur Joins Fight Against Covid-19
In an industry fraught with bad actors, Jack Donaldson IV, the owner of Sanare Bioscience, manufactures a FDA approved, lemon-scented hand-sanitizer which brings stability to an industry where products are often recalled and/or placed on the FDA Do Not Use list.
The company also manufactures industry leading PPE’s which includes: Isolation gowns, and masks.
Donaldson, who initially cut his teeth as a patient advocate, plans to reinvest the proceeds of his up and coming PPE product line into the research and development of a FDA approved drug which treats the effects of acute toxicity.
The pharmaceutical entrepreneur is a triple threat when it comes to bringing the skill-set and experience needed to successfully combat the Covid-19 pandemic and its negative impact on the South Florida businesses community.
The owner of Sanare Bioscience is a philanthropist, public advocate, and currently the manufacturer of Sanare hand sanitizer, Now, he is emerging as the point person to lead the South Florida fight against Covid-19 from a business perspective.
He recently launched the Linkedin group: “Businesses Community fighting against Covid 19.” The group is growing rapidly and prominent leaders in the business community have been quick to sign up.
PPE Philanthropist
Donaldson recently delivered masks, as well as the first of many gallons of his hand-sanitizer product to Coral Springs Mayor Scott Brook who will pass it on to fire officials.
“Jack and his company are demonstrating their joint commitment to our community’s health, and it’s appreciated,” said Scott Brook, Coral Springs Mayor.
Donaldson expects to deliver more of his hand sanitizers to the Coral Springs Fire Department soon and hopes to do the same for other public service organizations. He said his hand sanitizer is made in the United States using “safe and effective” products for everyday use.
Passes the Sniff Test
Donaldson’s hand sanitizer has a refreshing lemon scent aroma which is a departure from other competitors that possess an overpowering alcohol odor. If a hand sanitizer has a strong alcohol scent, it is highly likely it can be dangerous for personal application.
While the smell of hand sanitizers is seemingly a benign differentiator, it may actually carry more significance. According to a recent Miami Herald article: “Two recalls of ‘toxic’ hand sanitizer and 30 additions to FDA’s Do Not Use List,” hand sanitizer manufacturers are treading dangerously thin when it comes to their dependence on alcohol as a key ingredient.
135 Hand Sanitizers added to the FDA Do Not Use List
The Miami Herald stunningly reported that 135 hand sanitizer companies were added to the FDA’s Do Not Use List due to various chemical violations involving alcohol misuse during the manufacturing process.
As if that was not enough bad news, two more hand sanitizers were recently recalled.
According to Donaldson, hand sanitizers which contain methanol are the leading cause for either being recalled or placed on the FDA’s Do Not Use list.
As the Miami Herald reports:
“Methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death,” the FDA has stated. “Although people using these products on their hands are at risk for methanol poisoning, young children who accidentally swallow these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute are most at risk.”
“Some companies released hand sanitizers and were looking to cut corners to maximize profits by saturating the market with unsafe and unreliable products,” Donaldson maintains.

“It’s literally chaos out there when it comes to hand sanitizers,” Donaldson said. “There are products being recalled or banned from the FDA all the time. I want to stabilize the Covid-19 preventive care market with my FDA approved hand sanitizer that follows all the protocols and is made in the USA.
