With the current trend of Corona virus ravaging the whole world, it is pertinent that we use preventive measures to curb the spread of the disease. Very soon the prices of hand sanitizers will go up . A lot of fake hand sanitizers are being sold out there. It would be better for you to prepare your own hand sanitizers.
I will guide you through the process of making your own hand sanitizer which you could turn into a business opportunity.
Things you need to know
- Before we get into the process I’ll like to let you know the most active ingredient in hand sanitizers is alcohol. Alcohol for long has been used for sterilization purposes. That means common ogogoro can kill corona virus. In order to make the hand sanitizer more effective, different kinds of alcohol are mixed in different proportion.
- It should be noted that Alcohol is highly flammable i.e they can explode when exposed to fire. Keep your hand sanitizer away from fire to save yourself from double wahala.
- Avoid contact with eyes
- Keep out of reach of children
- Use: apply a palmful of sanitizer and cover all surfaces of the hands. Rub hands until dry. Flammable: keep away from flame and heat.
