In short
You can carry a hand sanitizer in cabin baggage within limits. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer is a flammable liquid. In cabin baggage each container may be up to 100ml, carried in the clear resealable bag. Larger bottles go in checked baggage in retail packaging up to 500ml each, within the airline's total limit (about 2 litres per person) for flammable toiletries.
