Moisturizing hand sanitizer
First Claim
1. A moisturizing hand sanitizer comprising water, an alcohol, and a high internal phase emulsion, the high internal phase emulsion comprising an emulsifier and a skin protectant selected from the group consisting of an emollient, a silicone, and combinations thereof, wherein the high internal phase emulsion comprises an aqueous phase in an amount of 30% (by weight of the emulsion) or less and the high internal phase emulsion is present in the sanitizer in an amount of from 0.1% (by weight of the sanitizer) to 10% (by weight of the sanitizer).
