Name & suggestions
Alcohol as a term should be avoided, perhaps change the name to Ethanol-based hand sanitizers. In addition, I'm not sure whether research is required/appropriate. Perhaps it's better to focus on a DIY still (I already uploaded some schematics; ie worm stills) and simply use 100% pure ethanol as a desinfectant/sanitizer. In addion, we can also use "ecological soaps" by simply using extract from plants (see Appropriate hygiene manual )
