How to Make Hand Sanitizer at Home
Make your own hand sanitizer at home, it’s really quite simple! And you probably already have the ingredients sitting in your medicine cabinet 🙂 Make sure you check out my other posts: DIY clorox wipes and DIY foaming hand soap.
Store your homemade hand sanitizer in a sealed tight jar to store. This recipe is my favorite because you can also add essential oils to make it smell better (we all know rubbing alcohol isn’t the greatest!)
DIY Hand Sanitizer
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- ⅔ Cup 99% Rubbing Alcohol
- ⅓ Cup Aloe Vera Gel
- Essential Oils Of Your Choice
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients and a small bowl.
- Mix the rubbing alcohol and aloe vera gel together until well combined.
- Add in just a few drops of essential oil of your choice, or you can leave out if prefered.
Notes
Note, it is very important to use a rubbing alcohol that is 99% alcohol. To be effective, hand sanitizers must be at least 60% alcohol. When you dilute with aloe vere, you cut the alcohol content by 33%. This recipe creates a hand sanitizer that is approximately 65% alcohol.
