Aroma Guides Hand Sanitizer
We are all struggling with drier hands thanks in part to the extra dose of hand sanitizers we are plying onto our skin. Try our moisturizing DIY hand sanitizer with essential oils to help see you through the day.
Servings 100 ml
Equipment
- 100ml pump bottle
- Mixing bowl
- Stirring rod
- Funnel
Ingredients
- 75 ml isopropyl alcohol 70%
- 20 ml pure aloe vera gel (use store-bought)
- 5 ml glycerin
- 3 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 drops tea tree essential oil

Notes
If you use alcohol that contains less than 99%, the mixture may seem more watery. In this instance, a spray bottle may work better.
Shelf life: If you stick to the recipe as detailed above, your hand sanitizer will last for 6-months to a year without compromising its effectiveness. If you are using fresh aloe vera, for example, this will need to be kept in the fridge, and has a much shorter shelf life of around 2 weeks.
