Ah the beauty of Macbooks these days. They're made from recycled aluminum so something as innocuous as hand sanitizer won't eat through that tough exterior. IF by some odd chance that you get a stain or discoloring, it's still simple to clean up and oddly enough, alcohol (70% IPA) does the trick, just make sure you wipe off what you put on, preferrably a microfiber cloth, amd make sure you aren't applying the alcohol anywhere that has cracks. If that happens, you can easily use a can of compressed air to evaporate the residuals.
