Researchers earn patent for herbal organic hand sanitizer
Vadodara: Researchers at Parul University (PU) here have been granted an Indian patent for a herbal organic hand sanitizer, offering a safe, alcohol-free solution to protect against germs.
This innovation, rooted in plant science, provides a gentler and more sustainable alternative to traditional sanitizers, which often cause dryness and skin irritation with repeated use.
A PU team, which included Avani Khristi, Falguni Tandel, Vrushank Nizama and Dr Abhay Dharamsi, formulated the sanitizer using plant extracts from cinchona and aloe vera, known for their powerful antibacterial and skin-soothing properties.
Designed to address the harsh effects of alcohol-based sanitizers, the herbal solution is alcohol-free, making it especially suitable for frequent use and sensitive skin.
Laboratory evaluations confirmed the sanitizer's effectiveness in eliminating harmful bacteria, including E coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus species, the researchers said.
This product comes in four natural and refreshing fragrances, offering users a pleasant sensory experience while maintaining high standards of hygiene.
