Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Make your own hand sanitizer at home, it’s really quite simple! And you probably already have the ingredients sitting in your medicine cabinet.
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 preferred.
Notes:
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 vera, you cut the alcohol content by 33%. This recipe creates a hand sanitizer that is approximately 65% alcohol. 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!)
