Hand Sanitizer homemade

OMS Recipe

The best way to reduce coronavirus infection is to increase personal hygiene, especially for the hands.
Using masks without being infected is, as well as useless, also a way to speed up the process of contagion, because you are brought to touch your face to adjust the mask when move.
So in case you have trouble finding a hand sanitizer, OMS has made public a recipe for making a hand sanitizer at home.

What do you need:

1. Pure alcohol 96 (the simple alcohol for making alcoholic drinks)
2. Purified water
3. Hydrogen peroxide at 3% or 10 volumes
4. Glycerol (you can find it in the pharmacy or even on the internet)
5. 1 liter graduated container

The procedure:

1. Pour 833ml of alcohol into the container (don’t worry if you’re not super precise)
2. Pour 42ml of hydrogen peroxide
3. Mix
4. Add 15 ml of glycerol, we need glycerol to make the solution more viscous and therefore similar to a gel.
5. Mix
6. Add purified water up to one liter (if you do not have purified water available you can use previously boiled normal water)
7. Mix and leave to rest for a few minutes

The gel is ready.
