Many store bought hand sanitizers are skin drying and packed with chemicals. I wanted to make my own safe alternative that I was comfortable allowing little ones to use. I did some research and ultimately came up with this recipe.
What you need
-
Water
How to make it
-
Fill bottle half way with Aloe Vera Gel.
-
Add 10 drops of Lavender and 10 drops of Melaleuca.
-
Fill the rest of the bottle with water.
-
Shake well and there you have your Home made safe and effective Hand Sanitizer.
Be sure to shake up before each use.
Why chose these ingredients?
Aloe Vera Gel- Is gentle on the skin and does not cause drying.
Lavender is calming, healing and good to use with skin irritations.
Melaleuca fights against unwanted bacteria and/or pathogens and has purifying, germ destroying properties. Allowing the cleansing of the hands.
Share below your reasons to make your own Hand Sanitizer 🙂
