DIY Hand Sanitizer


Recommended Posts

Soap and water is best, with thorough washing. But hand sanitizers are good when soap and water aren’t available. I have a stash, but if you don’t, or run out, here is a recipe for hand sanitizer:

 

The Nebraska Medical Center – famous for its biocontainment unit and treatment of Ebola patients – offers this recipe:

What you’ll need:

  • 2/3 cup 91% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
  • 1/3 cup aloe vera gel
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or something for whisking
  • Small container, such as a 3 oz. travel bottle
  • Optional: essential oil to give your hand sanitizer a fragrance

 

Mix it up with a whisk and put it in a small portable container for those times and places that soap and water aren’t available.
