Hand Sanitisers amid CoViD-19: A Critical Review of Alcohol-Based Products on the Market and Formulation Approaches to Respond to Increasing Demand

Category:

Topic:

  • A critical review of alcohol-based sanitizing products reported that hand sanitation is a main preventive measure during the COVID-19 pandemic and consumer demand is likely to remain high until widespread pharmacological measures are available. The presence of substandard products on the market (i.e., not meeting 60-95% ethanol content) points to the need for customer counseling, awareness campaigns, and review by regulatory bodies.
