  Is that enough ethanol to be sanitizing?

  Ethanol has to be at 60-65%. I made some for myself using this Sepimax Zen formulation and Everclear 190 proof.

  The Sepimax Zen has a velvety feel, the glycerin made it a bit sticky, but I am happy with this formulation. With all the recalls of hand sanitizers early in the pandemic, I felt safer making my own.

  WHO and US FDA recommend/require 80% ethanol.
  This is a drug product in US, tho’ FDA offered temporary relief during covid (https://www.fda.gov/media/136289/download).
