Does anybody know if this stuff is available and if so what the name of it would be?

Just in case you do know of it here but can't figure out what I'm saying, it's the clear, alchohol-based gel that you pump out of a bottle and rub it on your hands and it evaporates within a minute.

I'd like to order it on G-Market but I can't begin to think what the name of it might be in Korean.

Thanks

It is available. It's called "Sania". The only one I've been able to find is in a small bottle (50 mL maybe?) with no pump, just a squirt top. It's lightly scented, not in an off-putting way and the color corresponds to the scent. I haven't seen any plain clear ones, like Purell.
It's not cheap, about 2,500 Won for the little bottle that lasts me a week (at best) since I work with kindergartners. It can be found in pharmacies, probably covered in dust. Good luck.

I've seen the clear kind at E-mart near the checkouts.
