Eskbiochem

Eskbiochem was a Mexico-based company identified by the U.S. FDA in 2020 as the manufacturer of several alcohol-based hand sanitizer products exported to the United States. The company appears to have operated primarily as a chemical engineering and manufacturing business rather than a therapeutic biotech or pharmaceutical developer. Its known healthcare-related activity was the manufacture of consumer antiseptic hand rubs, including products such as CleanCare NoGerm, Lavar Gel, Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer, All-Clean Hand Sanitizer, and Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer. FDA testing found methanol contamination in certain products and the agency issued a public safety warning and a warning letter to the company in June-July 2020. Based on available evidence, Eskbiochem does not appear to have a drug-development pipeline, clinical programs, or a research platform typical of life science biotech companies.
