DIY: Natural Hand Sanitizer




You can never have too many hand sanitizers, as it only takes a purse change to lose your favorite bottle. To make matters worse, it seems once you finally buy another jar, you find where you last placed the missing one. This no longer has to be your story, now you can make your very own hand sanitizer, and never get caught without a jar. 

Ingredients:

  • Aloe vera gel - 1/4C (if using a commercial brand, buy the non-medicated kind)
  • Rubbing Alcohol or Witch Hazel - 3 Tbsp
  • Vitamin E - 2 tsp
  • Tea Tree Essential Oil - 7-8 drops
  • 1 Squeeze Bottle Container 

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together, until fully blended. If it's too thick add more witch hazel, or add more aloe vera gel if it's too runny. If you opt to use rubbing alcohol, use one that's 80% or higher. Once it's the texture of your liking, pour into a squeeze bottle or jar of your choice. Voila, you're done. Enjoy!
