I wash my hands excessively. i need a washing gel without soap for my dry skin.however i would like to be sure that viruses such as hpv, corona etc. is washed out. what chemical is required to be in gel? for instance is sodium laureth sulfate enough?

Regular hand soap: Regular hand soap is fine (including one with moisurizer) because it actually removed virus through properties of attracting water (hydrophilic/ hyprobhobic). However it you use hand sanitizer that works with alcohol, it should be at least 70% alcoyhol. Hydrogen peroxide products (not pure hydrogen peroxide) also work.
