Hand sanitizer is a solvent widely used on hands to reduce infectious agents. In most cases in the healthcare setting, alcohol-based products are superior to hand washing with soap and water. Hand washing should still be done where waste can be seen or after the toilet is used. There's no guideline for the general use of non-alcohol-based models. These are available as liquids, gels, and foam.

Hand sanitizers are transparent (commonly), waterless liquid products that are often used as an alternative to conventional soap and water for cleansing the hands and are effective for killing germs.

Hand sanitizer, also known as hand disinfectant, free flushing liquid soap, water-free hand sanitizer, hand gel, etc., is a handwashing liquid or gel used to decrease infectious agent on the hands. Since the hand sanitizer does not need to be rinsed with water, it can be used for cleaning hands when going out; it can also be used for medical purposes.

The main effective ingredient of alcoholic hand sanitizer is ethanol or isopropanol, which is used to kill bacteria and weaken virus activity to eliminate pathogens. The alcohol concentration of the finished product must be between 70% and 80%. Low alcohol concentration will reduce the effectiveness of sterilization. Also, hydrogen peroxide will be added to eliminate spores, and glycerin will be added as an emollient to avoid the skin becoming too dry due to skin contact with alcohol. Alcoholic hand sanitizer sold in the market will also add aroma ingredients, aloe vera gel, or other formulas that claim to have skincare effects, thereby attracting customers to buy, but some additives may cause skin allergies.

Hand sanitizers do not remove visible dirt. They're designed to kill germs, but if you see dirt, blood, or anything else on your hands, you should wash them with soap and water; not all hand sanitizers are effective at killing germs.

Hand sanitizers contain irritants. Alcohol dries out the skin, and scents added to the solution can trigger irritation or even allergic reactions. Many hand sanitizers also contain moisturizers whose role is to counteract the drying effect of alcohol.

Hand sanitizers are agents applied to the hands in order to eliminate illness-causing pathogens. Usually, hand sanitizers are made in foam, gel, wipes, or liquid forms. Even though the use of hand sanitizer is widely adaptable, it is drafted as a modest means of infection control in a diversity of settings ranging from schools to health care facilities and supermarkets.
