Use 60-90% Isopropyl Alcohol in solutions with 10-40% water and other water soluble ingredients such as glycerin.
If using in a hand sanitiser it is important to note the following:
A 70% solution of Isopropyl Alcohol in water is said to be the most efficient as the water causes the Isopropyl Alcohol to evaporate less quickly therefore it is in contact with the skin for longer while it does its job. The alcohol/water mix penetrates the cell membranes of the microorganisms then spreads throughout them effectively killing them off.
Replace the lid of the container immediately after use to prevent evaporation of the product.
Skin Care
It is less drying to the skin than ethanol so is more suited to use in hand sanitisers, especially for those who need to use them frequently.
Hair Care
No direct Usage
Other

Clean makeup brushes by swirling the brushes around in a small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol and water then rinsing and drying them.
It can also be used to deodorise smelly trainers. Spray a mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol, water and a blend of Rosemary, Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils into your trainers, leave to air dry.
For those of you with children who love stickers, the glue residue can easily be removed by wiping it with Isopropyl Alcohol.
