Due to increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a shortage of commercial hand sanitizer, but MIT EHS has decided to produce some.

The hand sanitizer contains 8% ethyl alcohol and is intended to reduce bacteria when soap and water are not available. It should not be used on children under 2 months or on open skin wounds or in contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children and if swallowed or in contact with eyes, seek medical help or contact a poison control center. The sanitizer should be rubbed onto hands until dry and contains glycerol, hydrogen peroxide, and DI water as inactive ingredients.*
