Before you start making your own hand sanitizer at home, there is a very important point to note.

Isopropyl alcohol is highly flammable and will burn your skin should it come into direct contact with your hands.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Pour the Isopropyl Alcohol and Aloe Vera Gel into the bowl.  As hand sanitizers need to contain at least 60% alcohol to be effective, you should ideally maintain a  2:1 ratio  of Isopropyl Alcohol to Aloe Vera Gel. For every 4oz of Isopropyl Alcohol you add, you should mix 2oz of Aloe Vera Gel
2. Add essential oils to the mix if needed. You don’t necessarily need essential oils, but if you like a particular smell, you can add a few drops of oil. (Lavender, Lemon, Berries)
3. Stir the ingredients together with a spoon and pour them into plastic bottles using a funnel.
4. Your hand sanitizer is ready to go.
