AANANDA RAAJ A/L JEGAN NAIDU SJKT CONVENT SEREMBAN
The Young Scientists Team from SJKT Convent Seremban 2, Malaysia, presents an innovative non-alcohol hand sanitizer made entirely from natural ingredients. Traditional alcohol-based sanitizers, while effective, pose risks such as skin irritation, flammability, and toxicity if ingested, particularly in children. To address these concerns, the team developed a formula using Himalayan Rock Salt, Aloe Vera, Neem leaves, Turmeric, Holy Basil, and Camphor, ensuring a safe, eco-friendly alternative. Their hand sanitizer maintains antimicrobial effectiveness without harmful side effects, making it ideal for frequent use. With a low-cost production method, it offers an accessible, sustainable solution that prioritizes both human health and environmental safety.
