One of our very own contributors put together this excellent piece in Cosmetics & Toiletries about compound hand sanitizers. Nice job @chemicalmatt

Good explanation. I could see why people would think the v/v would equal w/w.
Hydrogen Peroxide interacts with ethanol and partially inactivates the oxidative properties I thought.
Nice Matt

At those low concentrations, Hydrogen Peroxide does NOT oxidize alcohol to an aldehyde or to a carboxylic acid.
I was concerned about oxidation too, but after reading some chemistry papers it looks like it doesn’t happen at such low H2O2 concentrations. At least not without a catalyst

This was a great article @chemicalmatt for many of my customers who kept on falling for wrong calculations.
Fantastic stuff.
