Wikipedia has an article on Alcohol Rubs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_sanitizer They typically use ethanol (standard drinking alcohol mixed with something to render it undrinkable) or isopropanol ("rubbing alcohol" which is poisonous — not in a good way — if swallowed). A concentration of 60-70 percent is needed. Standard rubbing alcohol should do the trick, as would a 120+ proof liquor, although both will dry out your skin. You could mix in a small amount of glycerine for moisturizing, and possibly a thickener, but you risk diluting the alcohol to where the mixture is no longer effective. A mixture of nine parts 70% rubbing alcohol to one part glycerine should give you a good (but runny) substitute at a lower price.

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.
