Kylie Jenner is expanding her skin and beauty range with the launch of hand sanitizer due to a drastic shortage of the product in the US amid the coronavirus crisis.

According to Page Six, the 22-year-0ld billionaire's brand Kylie Skin announced on Tuesday it will manufacture and distribute hand sanitizer to Southern Californian hospitals.

Multinational beauty company Coty — which is a majority stakeholder in the reality star's skin and makeup line — told Page Six each custom bottle will include a special message for first responders.

"The custom hand sanitizer includes a special message for recipients: 'Dedicated to first responders working to support our communities,'" a representative for Coty said.

The Coty representative also said Jenner's hand sanitizer will be made in Cotys factories and it will not affect the production of other Kylie Skin products.

However, the Jenner's other namesake brand Kylie Cosmetics, which is also partly owned by Coty, and even her sister Kim Kardashian's KKW Beauty line, had to pause production due to California's statewide quarantining order.

Jenner's business move to create and sell the hydro-alcoholic gel follows the decisions of other major beauty and fashion companies including the parent company of Louis Vuitton, LVMH.

LVMH announced on March 15 it would shift production from perfume to hand sanitizer and will deliver the products to French healthcare authorities for free.

Aside from manufacturing hand sanitizer, Jenner also reportedly donated $1 million for health workers amid the pandemic.

The makeup mogul's generous offer was discovered via an Instagram post from the obstetrician who delivered her daughter Stormi.

Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi shared a side-by-side image of her next to Jenner and Stormi and wrote in a caption her donation was a "dream came true."

I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true. One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes. I have never felt more blessed to be a doctor, as helping our brave ER and ICU workers feels just as gratifying as helping my own patients. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner ❤️. You are my hero. This generous donation will help save many precious lives. Our world is a better place with you in it. I love you so much. Thank you X a million....
