The WHO publishes a hand-gel "recipe"

Not to difficult to make.

I don't know what the ingredients cost but I think you could make

a bit of money making your own and flogging it on ebay.

It's already on ebay for very low price

They look highly inflated to me. Small Aldi brand bottles up from 45p
to c.£3.
And some stuff I bought ('Cuticura') a while back for not much more
than £1,
£10-£20. And people are paying these prices:

order hand sanitizer by price, there's plenty of cheap available.
That some is also going for silly prices doesn't mean we can make &
sell it at great margin. I did look.
