Hand sanitizer is a substitute to washing of hands with soap and water.

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.

How to make hand wash in Nigeria

You can use alcohol or witch-hazel for the sanitizer base. Some people don’t like alcohol because they say it has a powerful strong smell and can cause skin drying. So witch hazel becomes a better alternative.

Procedure

Hand Sanitizers Production Tips

  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. Aloe Vera act as the base so it is also important you can use any essential oils in place of peppermint
  4. The alcohol added to the ingredients also act as a preservative as such hand sanitizer can last for months.

    But I have a questions please…I’m very sure that some of the names of the chemicals that will be used will not be something we see in our everyday market

    So where we cant find a chemical because we don’t know the local market name,can we contact you to help with that or are we left to ourselves.

    • @Debby the account details is on the post First Bank 3068300008 Eno Johnson. All the chemicals can be found in Chemical shops around. Where is your location?. We mow have chemical shops scattered all over different states. If you see anybody selling liquid soap in your location ask the person where he or she bought the chemicals.

  2. I appreciate your article on hand sanitizer. pls can you tell me function of each ingredient and the quantity of each to be used thanks

    • I cant tell now @Zion because everything has gone up. I spent about 3k to produce 1litre of hand sanitizer. This has to do with location, it may be cheaper elsewhere than mine. I bought a litre of alcohol 1k, glycerine 500 naira

  3. Thank you so much for your lecture on hand sanitizer production, but i would like to know the measurement of aloe vera gel or glycerin needed in 1kg of i. P. A?.
