Abstract：To avoid the harm of antibacterial ingredients in hand sanitizers to the skin and pollution to the environment,this experiment prepared a hand sanitizer using natural plant extract mugwort essential oil as the antibacterial component.The antibacterial experiment results indicated that the mugwort hand sanitizer exhibited a 100％antibacterial rate when diluted 100 times,1000 times,and 10 000 times,demonstrating a similar antibacterial efficacy to 75％ethanol.The cleanliness experiment revealed that using this hand sanitizer left the skin with a moisture content above 56％and oil content around 20％,showcasing effective oil removal and moisturizing effects.The foaming force experiment demonstrated that the mugwort hand sanitizer generated a foaming force exceeding 100 mm,meeting national standard.The hemolysis test of red blood cells showed that within the concentration gradient range of 0.1 g/L-1 g/L,the eye irritation caused by the mugwort essential oil hand sanitizer was mild,while in lower concentration ranges of 0.001 g/L-0.01 g/L,the irritation was weak,indicating minimal and mild skin irritation caused by the hand sanitizer.In summary,this mugwort essential oil hand sanitizer is considered an ideal antibacterial skincare product.
