I did a study on this topic a few years ago. It was published in the IPC Apex proceedings. The title was "An Investigation Into Hand Sanitizers and Hand Lotions and Potential Risks to High Performance Electronics". Whether it is a concern or not depends largely on whether you are incorporating cleaning or not, but for hand sanitizers, we found no real issues. Our concerns were more for hand lotions.
