New coronaviruses are still threatening people’s lives, and people’s demand for hand sanitizers has also increased dramatically. This has caused great pressure on the production of hand sanitizer manufacturers.
Many people in the industrial field want to produce commercial hand sanitizers, but they don’t know how . Ocean Star Inc, as no.1 hand sanitizer manufacturer in china, is responsible for helping everyone with our professional knowledge.
So we wrote this article, long story short, let’s teach you how to manufacture hand sanitizer.
The materials and machines of production
Material:
- 95-98% purity ethanol or isopropanol (what’s the difference?)
- carbomer 940
- glycerol (moisturizer)
- deionized sterile water
- triethanolamine(thickener)
- container(bottle or barrel clients specified)
- pump or cap of container
- propylene glycol (optional)
- aloe extract (optional)
- Fragrance (optional)
- Vetamin E (optional)
- Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
Machine:

Environment and Workshop
1.All manufacturing processes about hand sanitizer content must be in the Class 100,000 Ultra Clean Room.
2.Bottles, labels and other parts must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in the Ultraviolet Ozone Disinfection Workshop.
Why?
The unqualified workshop cause the unpredictable results, your may get the low-quality products like the below product.
Formulas from FDA & WHO
Formulation:
A little words first:
Each hand sanitizer brand will have a special formula(Basically the same in manufacturing process and technicals),according to the needs of customers.We have no ability to list all formulas of hand sanitizer, so I put the two formulas provided by FDA and WHO below, these two formulas are roughly the same ,as well as the effectiveness in killing viruses and bacteria.
Basic Hand Sanitizer Formula:
95-98% pure ethanol(62-80% V/V), Glycerol(1.45% V/V), Carbomer 940(0.1%~2% V/V),deionized sterile water(2%~5%)
1.FDA Formula:(chrome-extension://ikhdkkncnoglghljlkmcimlnlhkeamad/pdf-viewer/web/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fda.gov%2Fmedia%2F136118%2Fdownload)
2.WHO Formula:(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK144054/#:~:text=To%20produce%20final%20concentrations%20of,O2%203%25%2C%2041.7%20ml)
Hand Sanitizer Manufacturing Steps
7.Quality Check
clients may require a specific percent of ethanol in hand sanitizer gel (spray), so manufacturer need to use professional instruments or experimental testing methods to test finished-products to ensure that they meet customer requirements.Manufacrturing is not the most important thing,product quality is.
Done,Congratulation!
Frequently Asked Questions
1.Differentce betwen Ethanol & Isopropanol
- Ethanol is not toxic,Isopropanol is a bit toxic(canot be ingested).
- Isopropyl has a slightly better disinfection effect than ethanol.
- Isopropyl is more expensive than ethanol generally.
2.Could you supply semi-finished sanitizer or bottles&pumps ?
Yes
We are hand sanitizer manufacturer, usually supply finished sanitizer, but we can supply semi-finished products, bottles, pumps, caps for client’s needs.There are many reasons cause clients cannot find a reliable supplier, we can do that for you.
