Abstract :

This research investigates the development of a hand sanitizer using plant extracts as the main ingredients. The aim is to develop a new hand hygiene option using the antimicrobial properties of specific plant extracts. The main components consist of isopropyl alcohol (ethanol), aloe vera gel, and essential oils like tea tree oil. The goal is to create a hand sanitizer using an optimal alcohol concentration and including natural ingredients for potential additional advantages. The research underscores the significance of following recommended guidelines for hand sanitizer formulation and usage as indicated by health authorities. It also stresses the necessity for additional research to confirm the effectiveness and safety of homemade hand sanitizers.
