A hand sanitizer, according to the latest FDA definition a Hand Antiseptic, is a supplement or alternative to hand washing with soap and water. Various preparations are available, including gel, foam, and liquid solutions. The active ingredient in hand sanitizers may be isopropanol, ethanol, or n-propanol. Inactive ingredients in alcohol rubs typically include a thickening agent such as polyacrylic acid for alcohol gels, humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs, propylene glycol, and essential oils of plants. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are more effective at killing germs than soaps and do not dry out hands as much.[1] Popular alcohol rub brands include Baccide, Purell, Germ-X, Labo, Aqium, Avant, GermOut, and Aquawet. Lysol, and Method Products also produce popular alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Some brands make a non-alcohol sanitizer such as cleanwell. More common non-alcohol, rinse-free hand sanitizer brands use the organic compound benzalkonium chloride. Brand names include Hy5, Soapopular, Handclens and DEB instantfoam,DEB aero foam,Purell.

Hand alcohol, alcohol hand antiseptic agent, is a type of antiseptic agent that is used within health care to avoid transmission of pathogens. Hand alcohol exist in liquid, foam and, easy flowing gel formulations. The level of alcohol varies between 60% to 85%. The most common used level is 70%.

Despite common perceptions, hand alcohol is well-adapted for the skin. Several studies have demonstrated that hand alcohol does not dehydrate the skin [3]. In contrast, hand washing with soap and water significantly decreases epidermis water content compared to use of alcohol-based hand gels [4]. Hand alcohol should be thoroughly rubbed into the hands and on the lower forearm for a duration of at least 30 seconds [5], and then allowed to air dry. Optimal disinfection requires attention to all exposed surfaces such as around the fingernails, between the fingers, on the back of the thumb, and around the wrist. To minimize carryover, jewelery should be removed from hands during use.

Alcohol rub sanitizers kill bacteria, multi-drug resistant bacteria (MRSA and VRE), tuberculosis, and viruses (including HIV, herpes, RSV, rhinovirus, vaccinia, influenza, and hepatitis) and fungus. Alcohol rub sanitizers containing 70% alcohol kill 3.5 log10 (99.9%) of the bacteria on hands 30 seconds after application and 4 to 5 log10 (99.99 to 99.999%) of the bacteria on hands 1 minute after application.[6]
