Some Notes on Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer. At this point, either we have it, or we don’t, right? Those who have it can consider themselves among the blessed few. Whether we are trying to make it at home or purchase it, we have to be aware of a few key factors.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says to look for Isopropyl Alcohol between 60 and 89 percent, with 70 percent as the sweet spot. Why not 90 or 100 percent alcohol? Anything 90 percent or higher is designed to clean things that can’t get wet, like computer components and electronics. It evaporates too quickly to kill any virus or bacteria. In addition, anything 79 percent or above can really do damage to our skin, making it crack and peel and leaving it more vulnerable to the elements.
We want to make sure that there is moisturizer in the hand sanitizer, like aloe vera or glycerol. Scent can also be important so the smell reminds us not to touch our face.
