CSIR-IHBT Develops Natural Hand Sanitizer

A team of scientists from CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (CSIR-IHBT) based in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, has developed a new hand sanitizer.
The sanitizer has been made using natural flavours, active tea constituents and alcohol as per the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Chemicals like parabens, triclosan, synthetic fragrance and phthalates have not been used in the product.
The technology has been transferred to a Palampur based company for commercial production and marketing in all major cities across the country.
