Something that is sufficiently foamy in the presence of alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol) or to go down the aqueous route using other actives such as, but not limited to, benzalkonium chloride plus surfactant plus a foaming nozzle.

The problem is that alcohol kills foam

@andraous Awhile back I used bis-peg-10 dimethicone in a foaming 70% alcohol based hand sanitizer, although it did leave a slightly tacky feeling on the hands but if I remember right it foamed pretty well.

I’m not familiar with that but purell has a foaming alcohol hand sanitizer with peg-12 dimethicone so that may work
