DIY Hand Sanitizer
Looking to make your own hand sanitizer? Our DIY hand sanitizer is easy to make and takes 3 simple ingredients and 5 minutes!
Servings: 8 ounces
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup 99% rubbing alcohol or isopropyl
- ⅓ cup aloe vera gel
- 8-10 drop essential oil optional
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl and stir.
- Use a funnel to pour the liquid in an empty bottle or old pump soap bottle
Notes
If you want to make a larger batch of hand sanitizer, you are basically using two parts isopropyl alcohol or ethanol (91 percent to 99 percent alcohol) and one part aloe vera.
I like to add a few drops of essential oils in there to make it smell a little better. Some of the essential oils I like are:
- Lavender
- Eucalyptus
- Peppermint
- Lemon
- Grapefruit
