DIY Natural Hand Sanitizer
Ingredients In This DIY Natural Hand Sanitizer
Aloe Vera Gel
Buy the good stuff, the real aloe vera gel. The real stuff is clear by the way, not neon green like we’ve grown up thinking! Aloe vera gel is the base for this hand sanitizer making it just like the gels that you’d buy in stores. Aloe vera is also antibacterial so it will also help kill those germs.
Essential Oils
I’ve included two essential oils in this hand sanitizer: tea tree and lavender.
If you really wanted you could just use tea tree essential oil as it’s one of the best antibacterial essential oils out there but lavender helps give this hand sanitizer a more pleasant smell while contributing to the antibacterial benefits.
DIY Natural Hand Sanitizer – Alcohol-Free Version
1/4 cup aloe vera gel
7 drops tea tree essential oil
7 drops lavender essential oil
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients well.
Transfer to a preferred container. I prefer glass containers like this glass pump bottle or there are these silicone squeeze tubes or if you’d like plastic then this polypropylene container is a safer plastic option.
Alcohol note: Normally, I’d say you do not need any alcohol for this hand sanitizer. That said, if you are extra worried about a serious illness (not just the flu or a cold… think coronavirus) then you can add rubbing alcohol to this recipe. See the recipe below!
For a 60% alcohol ratio in this hand sanitizer, you’d want to add 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol to this recipe. Source from here
