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!


THIS MONTHS RECIPE:HAND SANITIZER


WHAT YOU'LL NEED

      • 6 oz. Organic Cane Alcohol 190-Proof
        Any of our 190-Proof, or 95% alcohols can be used
      • 3 oz. Organic Aloe Vera Gel
        We like Mountain Rose Aloe Vera Gel
      • Essential Oils
        Optional for fragrance
      • Dispenser Bottle

WHAT YOU'LL DO

      1. Mix Aloe Gel with Alcohol
      2. Add Essential Oils
      3. Mix thoroughly
      4. Pour into easy-to-dispense Bottles, and label

This recipe is a little more liquid than typical gels but has no added chemicals or harmful additives. To be effective, it's recommended that your hand sanitizers contain 60% alcohol content to properly disinfect and kill germs.
