DIY Gel Hand Sanitizer
From ehow.com. This is cheap, fun to make, and gentler on your skin than some of those harsher store-bought sanitizers.
Things You’ll Need
- 1 cup 100% pure aloe vera gel
- 1-2 tsp witch hazel
- 3-4 drops tea tree oil
- 3-4 peppermint oil
Steps
- Place aloe vera gel in a small bowl, and slowly mix in witch hazel. You don’t want the consistency of the gel to become too thin.
- Add tea tree and peppermint oil. Slowly stir together.
- If the consistency is too thin, add more aloe veragel, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a thicker consistency.
- Store in your desired container. Use as you would any other hand sanitizer.
Tips
- Add other scented essential oils to the mix for a more pleasant small. If you find the peppermint and tea tree too strong, use smaller amounts.
- Witch hazel and tea tree oil can cause excessive drynes in people with sensitive skin. If you find this occuring, limit the use of your sanitizer.
