Technically speaking, you don’t need either of those to make hand sanitizer. Those are just additions to create a gel-like consistency.
You could try using sepimax zen, or any other gel-type thickener.

The officially recommended formulation by leading health authorities such WHO does not contain gelling agents.Some gellants might in fact reduce the efficacy of the sanitiser -> don’t play around with products & additives which haven’t proven safe and efficient in this regard and go with simple alcohols at appropriate concentrations! -
