How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer

By

  • 1

Ingredients

  • Materials
  • 1 cup (235 ml) pure aloe vera gel
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons (15 to 28 ml) witch hazel
  • 3 to 4 drops tea tree essential oil
  • 3 to 4 drops peppermint essential oil

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1: Stir together ingredients. Measure the ingredients and stir together in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Adjust aloe vera content. To thicken the solution, add more aloe vera gel one teaspoon at a time.

Step 3: Package the product. Travel-size toiletry bottles are ideal for toting this hand sanitizer. Save and clean empty bottles for reuse if you don’t want to invest in empty new ones (available at most drugstores).
