Homemade Hand Sanitizer

For most families with young children, hand sanitizer plays a big role in keeping our hands clean when we are on the run! Here is a healthy alternative to the store-bought, alcohol-based sanitizers using only aloe vera gel, witch hazel and essential oils! I keep a bottle of this in my purse to have "on hand" at all times.

1 empty 2oz dispenser
1.9 oz aloe vera gel
1 tsp witch hazel
12 drops essential oils:

• 5 drops Tea Tree


• 3 drops Lavendar


• 1 drop Oregano


• 1 drop Rosemary


• 1 drop Thyme


• 1 drop Peppermint

Other essential oils you may consider using in your own recipe:

• Eucalyptus


• Cinnamon


• Geranium


• Clove


• Cedarwood


• Patchouli


• Sandalwood


• Neroli


• Niaouli


• Citrus oils: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit


• Lemongrass


• Myrrh


• Rose


• Pine oils
