AI Technical Summary
The anionic surfactants commonly used in existing hand sanitizers, such as sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and sodium C10-16 alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, are prone to irritating the skin, leading to dryness or allergic reactions. Existing technologies make it difficult to develop low-irritant hand sanitizers.
A low-irritant composition was prepared by using PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, lactic acid, sophorolipid and other components, and combined with C10-16 sodium polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine and other components, and the pH value was adjusted to 3.0-5.0 to prepare a low-irritant hand sanitizer.
The prepared low-irritant hand sanitizer has low skin irritation, good cleaning power, and a simple manufacturing process.

[0048] Sample testing:
[0049] Irritation test: Zein method
[0050] Prepare a 1% (w / w) aqueous solution of the active ingredient. Take 30 mL of this solution, add 1–1.5 g of excess Zein, stir at room temperature for 120 minutes, and filter. Transfer 5 mL of the filtrate to a Kjeldahl flask, add 0.2 g of copper sulfate, 2.5 g of potassium sulfate, and 10 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid. Nitrate in a nitrification furnace for 60 minutes until a clear, light blue liquid appears. Alkaline distillation is performed using a 40% (w / w) NaOH solution in a Kjeldahl nitrogen analyzer, and the sample is titrated with standardized hydrochloric acid.
[0051] An aqueous solution of surfactant without Zein and containing 1% active ingredient by mass was used as a blank control.

[0068] C is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid standard solution, mol / L;
[0069] 0.014 is the number of grams of nitrogen corresponding to 1 mL of 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid standard solution;
[0070] V 样品 is the sampling volume of the sample, mL.
