Follow this simple recipe.

What You’ll Need: 

• 1/3 cup aloe vera gel (available at most drugstores)
• 2/3 cup 99% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
• Containers with watertight lids (we like these ones from Amazon)
• Small funnel (optional)
• Essential oils (optional)

Note: If you can’t find 99% rubbing alcohol, you may need to adjust the ratio above to make sure the mixture contains at least 60 percent alcohol.

Follow These Steps: 

1. Stir together the aloe vera gel and rubbing alcohol until fully incorporated.

2. If you’d like, you can add a couple drops of essential oil, such as lavender(just test your skin for sensitivity first).

3. Using a funnel, decant the mixture into a bottle or container with a secure lid. When you use the hand sanitizer, dispense it into the palm of one hand and rub all over the surface of both hands until completely dry. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.
