Hand sanitizer is a substitute to washing of hands with soap and water. Because it is not easy to carry water and soap about to be washing hands every now and then, Cosmetologist came out with the idea of hand sanitizer in other to save us that stress. With the way things are going on globally these days, there is need for us to keep hand sanitizers close by. You can call it hand wash, hand sanitizer, hand rub they all mean the same thing. Purchase our Ebook on different chemical production more than 40 products. See list at the end of this post.
In Africa hand sanitizers became a thing of importance when Ebola came but as Ebola died down so also the hype and hand sanitizers usage dropped. But with the emergence of Coronavirus and the confirmation of CONVID-19 in Nigeria hand sanitizers are now hot cakes. In fact in just a day all the face marks, hand sanitizers were exhausted in Lagos. This is to tell you how urgent this product is needed in Nigeria and the world at large.
There is a ready market for hand sanitizers, you can prepare homemade sanitizers just in case you cannot find any to buy in the market. I gave my sister the steps on this post for the production of hand sanitizer when she couldn’t find any to buy in supermarkets in Uyo.
The materials for the production of hand sanitizers are readily available in any chemical shop around you. Preparation of hand rub is one of the simplest in chemical production just like insecticide production. How is hand sanitizer made?
How to make hand wash in Nigeria
It is very easy to produce hand sanitizer and there are different methods of preparation. You can produce hand wash with aloe Vera or not. The active ingredient is alcohol which should comprise more than 60% of the other ingredients for the hand sanitizer to be effective.

Hand Sanitizers Production Tips
- To make slim from hand sainitizer, spread the hand sanitizer on a flat substance such as plate. Put it in the freezer and leave for 2-3 hours to become slimy.
- Alcohol is more preferable than witch hazel but both are antibacterial not adding any will result in a solution with scented aloe Vera gel. But you can make hand sanitizer without aloe Vera gel. The percentage of ethanol use in the mixture is very important.
- Aloe Vera act as the base so it is also important you can use any essential oils in place of peppermint
- The alcohol added to the ingredients also act as a preservative as such hand sanitizer can last for months.
