Any biology or medical researcher here? Want to start a shitstorm or get massive bribes? Do a research on the toxicity of hand sanitizer on human skin. And when doing it, consider that while ordinary people don't use it much, hospital workers are encouraged to use it up to hundreds of times a day.

Also, make sure to test several different brands.

Triclosan is known to be toxic. Toxicological profiles are available for all of the constituents, and yes, a curosiry review shows that shit ain't good for ya.

Not sure what the big issue here is. Probably our split minded, dissociative western issues again.

Hospital hand sanitizer has a shitload more propylene glycol in it to prevent skin damage. The other ingredient is denatured ethanol.
Source: Worked at a hospital for two years and have been to others which had the same kind of sanitizer by a different manufacturer.

Did someone put crushed glass in your sanitizer? I used that shit about a dozen times a day, three to five days a week, for two years. The most annoying part was how sticky your hands could get with just a little sweat with all the propylene glycol buildup.
