Is it safer to use hand sanitisers for cleaning baby’s hand than rubbing alcohol?

Personally I do not like hand sanitisers as alcohol is one of the ingredients too. However, comparing both hand sanitisers and rubbing alcohol, I will choose hand sanitiser over rubbing alcohol as it is more gentle to kids' skin. I would choose to let my kids to wash hands whenever it is possible. If there is no access of water tape in e.g. shopping mall, I will just use wet wipes to wipe their hands throughout.
