Moisturizers & Sanitizers – Kashrus/Touching Food

Question:

If someone applies hand moisturizer/sanitizer containing non-kosher ingredients like glycerin to their hands, would one need to be concerned about touching food/washing dishes afterwards?
Or is the amount of glycerin etc. insignificant and therefore does not pose any complications?
Thank you very much.

Answer:

 The latter is correct. The amount of glycerin that would get rubbed from your hands on to anything would be insignificant and there is no concern with it.
