If your hands are visibly soiled (blood, feces, dirt, etc.) they should be washed with soap and water. I've also come to realize that if you have any sores on your hands it's best to not use alcohol rub because it hurts! I have really dry cuticles and get hangnails all the time and it's very uncomfortable.

What is an alcogel?
An alcogel is a hand sanitizer in the form of an alcohol gel.

Does the alcohol in hand sanitizers get absorbed through the skin and metabolise by the body
Is hand gel the same as hand sanitizer?
Yes, hand gel is a type of hand sanitizer. Both terms generally refer to products designed to reduce germs on the skin, typically containing alcohol or other antimicrobial agents. While "hand sanitizer" is the broader term that can include gels, foams, and wipes, "hand gel" specifically refers to the gel formulation.
Where to buy ingredients for hand sanitizer?
To make hand sanitizer yourself, you only need two basic ingredients; isopropyl alcohol and a thickener. The best thickener would be an alcohol based hair gel, because it will not curdle and will mix consistently. Mix the alcohol and hair gel together and try to get an alcohol content of about 60%, and you'll have hand sanitizer. So you can get the ingredients from any store that sells isopropyl alcohol and hair gel.

What exatly is hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizer is a liquid or gel used to reduce germs on the skin, particularly when soap and water aren't available. It typically contains alcohol (usually ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) as its active ingredient, which kills many types of bacteria and viruses. Formulations may also include moisturizers to prevent skin dryness. Hand sanitizer is commonly used in healthcare settings, public spaces, and at home to promote hygiene.
What is better gel or foam hand sanitizer?
The choice between gel and foam hand sanitizer largely depends on personal preference and specific needs. Gel sanitizers tend to have a thicker consistency, which can feel more effective for some users, while foam sanitizers are lighter and may spread more easily over the hands. Both types should contain at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill germs. Ultimately, the best option is the one that promotes consistent hand hygiene for the individual.
How volume of alchool is changed?
When mpc gel is immersed in various water/alcohol mixtures, a change in the gel volumes will be observed depending on not only the composition of the alcohol in the mixture but also in the chemical structure of the alcohol. In water/monohydric alcohol mixtures, the mpc gel will have an irregular swelling behavior with the change of a composition in the alcohol. Showing the so called reentrant volume phase transition. these volume phase transitions strongly depend on the hydrophobic group, the polarity of the alcohol. On the other hand polyhydric alcohol does not affect the swelling of the mpc even when the composition of the alcohol was changed. This suggest that , water molecules hydrated on the poly chains are with drawn by hydration of the alcohol molecules and the volume of the mpc gel is decreased. Therefore is good agreement to the hydration ability of the alcohol and it's polarity.
When was hand sanitizer first invented?
Hand sanitizer was first invented in 1966 by Lupe Hernandez, a nursing student in California. She created an alcohol-based gel to use as an alternative to hand-washing in healthcare settings.
What natural ingredient can be used as a hand sanitizer?
Technically there is no disinfectant that exists in nature. The closest is alcohol because it is distilled from plants...this is the oldest reaction known by man and is simply the heating and recapturing of a certain substance.
