Hand sanitisers are liquids, gels or foams used to eliminate bacteria and viruses, etc.
Formulations vary widely. A number of active ingredients are used, for example benzalkonium chloride, however, the most effective sanitising products are based on alcohol, usually isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. Typically the alcohol content is between 60 and 95%. The alcohol is usually blended with an aqueous dispersion of carbomers such as Carbopol® to provide the gelling effect, although some products are lower viscosity for use in foam dispensers.
The remaining ingredients include moisturisers and fragrance and occasionally colouring may also be added.
