Saw this hand sanitizer on Mr DIY website. Selling for RM12.90 for 500ml, which is very cheap.

However, based on the description, it contains denatured alcohol which is poisonous compared to ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. WHO recommends either ethanol or USP grade isopropyl alcohol in their hand sanitizer formula.

Anyone tried it? Wondering if this is safe to use

This article warns against the use of denatured alcohol in hand sanitizer, stating that it may be dangerous if absorbed by the skin. Any chemist can verify?

It said hand sanitizer, but doesnt say WHO approved sanitizer. Item must be as good as description else you just complain to seller la.
