IF you can’t wash your hands, hand sanitizer it is.
Don’t panic you can make your own at home with ingredients you most likely already have!
The hand sanitizers you buy in the store is not a complex formulation, the active ingredient “ethyl or isopropyl rubbing alcohol 70%” this is all you need along with some water and measuring tool to make your own.
8oz hand Sanitizer recipe/formula:
You will need one glass liquid measuring pitcher or cup (think baking, Pyrex glass pitcher, it is probably already in your kitchen cabinets)
- One 8oz empty clean bottle. Tip, if you chose to use aloe vera gel in your recipe you will want a pump bottle, if you opt for water then you will want a bottle with a spray top.
- 3/4 cup of 70%-90% Rubbing Alcohol, Ethyl or Isopropyl alcohol 70 % (At least 60% alcohol by volume)
- 1/4 cup vera gel or water
Optional:
- 2-6 drops of Essential Oil
- ¼ tablespoon Vitamin E Oil
I like to use essential oils to obtain natural fragrance and color in my cosmetic formulations as oppose to dyes and synthetic fragrances. Read more
