Make your own Hand sanitizer

Make Hand Sanitizer with Using Nature Material

            The hand is a part of human body that is often touching many of stuff. We do not know if the stuff clean or have many germ and bacteria. The expert said that the germ and bacteria easy patch on hands and displace it to another body surface. While the germ growth at this point is faster than the first time and increased its strength is getting stronger. The lack of public knowledge about it is that the community is exposed to viruses or harmful germs and become ill. In modern times too many people are more trusting of prescription drugs to cure the disease.

Research conducted by Dr. Philip Tierno Jr., Ph.D., immunologist of the NYU Langone Medical Center reveals that Hand sanitizer containing 60 percent alcohol will only protect the hands for 1 or 2 minutes so as to be reused any contamination.

My goal as an author of this blog is I want to show the people about the importance of washing hands, in order to people cleared the hands of germs and bacteria that stick in hand. Demonstrate to the people that the biodiversity that lives around us have many benefits. If we look from the function hand sanitizer itself a hand gel without having to wash hands using soap hand sanitizer water is usually made using chemicals.
