I am surprised. One of the tricks you could do in the school chemi labs was to put ethyl alcohol over your hand and set fire to it. You had to make sure your hand was grease free first but if you did so you never got burned. You could actually pur a stream of molten lead on your hand with the same non result.

The hand sanitizer I make is isopropyl alcohol plus glycerine. I dont see that causing burns TBH but if it did the problem would be the gylcerene not the alcohol.
