Hand sanitizer was first developed in the 1960s as a means to promote hand hygiene in healthcare settings. Initially, it was primarily alcohol-based and used in hospitals to reduce the spread of infections. Its popularity surged during the 2000s due to increased awareness of germs and the need for portable sanitation solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated its use, leading to widespread availability and various formulations.
