Disease-causing germs are ubiquitous in people's daily life.
In these cases ,recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and antibacterial hand gels which are capable of killing most germs. Here are the ingredients of hand sanitizer:
Active Ingredients
isopropanol, both forms of alcohol. Alcohol kills most germs on contact without causing serious harm to the skin tissue, which makes it an effective active ingredient for hand sanitizers. Ethanol and isopropanol are antiseptics that kill germs by dissolving their essential proteins. This disrupts the normal cell activity of the germ, causing it to die.
Inactive Ingredients
To aid in application, and increase the skin benefits of the product, hand sanitizers and antibacterial hand gels are composed of inactive ingredients alongside ethanol or isopropanol. For example, humectants, such as glycerin, work as moisturizing agents. Humectants draw moisture from the surrounding environment and hold it close to the skin. A newer development in hand sanitizers and antibacterial hand gels are the use of fragrance oils to help lessen the smell of alcohol when applying the product.
NM-Carbomer products
As thickening agents, NM-Carbomer products are common ingredient used to make gel-like solutions. NM-Carbomer 960CHC/Carbopol 940, carbomer 970HC /Carbopol 980, carbomer 941/Carbopol 941 etc, are used to give hand sanitizers and antibacterial hand gels a gel like texture, which aids in the application and spreading of the product on the hands.
