HOMEMADE HAND SANITIZER RECIPES

Here are a few homemade hand sanitizer recipes for you:

Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer Recipe

  • 1 cup PURE aloe vera gel (not the green stuff)
  • 1-4 teaspoons of Witch Hazel (amount depends on desired consistency)                                             5-10 drops of essential oil (tea tree and peppermint also have natural antibacterial properties) properties
Method:
After stirring the aloe vera in a bowl for a bit, slowly start adding the witch hazel (or alcohol) until it forms the consistency level you would like to have. Then, add your essential oils in the amount you desire.

Hand Sanitizer with Soap
