DIY RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Washing your hands and keeping them clean is an important step to help you stay healthy, avoid catching a bug, and preventing the spread of germs. It's also a great idea to have hand sanitizers available at home and when you're on the go. With the current shortage of commercial hand sanitizers, we're sharing a quick and effective recipe for you so you can use your DIY skills to stay safe and healthy. Many recipes call for high-proof alcohol, or isopropyl, but we prefer the Organic route whenever possible.

This recipe is super simple and can be whipped up quickly without any harmful additives. Also note that a dilution of our alcohol in spray bottles is a great remedy to sanitize other surfaces as well!
