Isopropyl alcohol is an effective antiseptic used to kill bacteria and viruses on the skin. It is typically used in concentrations of 60-90% for optimal antimicrobial activity. Its rapid evaporation rate makes it suitable for hand sanitizers, providing quick drying times.

Caprylyl glycol is a skin-conditioning agent that also acts as a preservative booster. It is derived from caprylic acid, a fatty acid found in coconut and palm oils. It helps to moisturize the skin and enhance the efficacy of preservatives.

Orange peel oil is used for its fragrance and potential antimicrobial properties. It is extracted through cold pressing of the orange peel, preserving its natural aroma. While it adds a pleasant scent, its concentration in sanitizers is typically low.

Isopropyl myristate is an emollient that helps improve the texture and absorption of products. It is synthesized from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, a fatty acid. It enhances the spreadability of the gel, making it easier to apply.

Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E used for its antioxidant properties. It is often used in skincare products to protect the skin from oxidative damage. It also provides moisturizing benefits, enhancing skin health.

Aminomethyl propanol is used as a pH adjuster in cosmetic formulations. It is synthetically produced and can cause irritation if used in high concentrations. Its presence in personal care products is generally limited to ensure safety.

Fragrance is added to personal care products to provide a pleasant scent. It is often a complex mixture of natural and synthetic compounds. Fragrances can cause allergic reactions or skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
