Stay Safe from Coronavirus: Hand Sanitizer DIY Recipe
Leanna F
We want to help you stay clean and healthy in these trying times. With the scare of Coronavirus and other flus going around this will be very useful when the stores sell out of antibacterial items.
You will need:
Travel bottle ( you can use a travel sized shampoo bottle, which you can find at most drug stores and Target)
Aloe Vera Gel: 1 Cup
70% rubbing alcohol or higher: 2 tbs.
Tea Tree and/or Eucalyptus oil: 10 drops
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl or measuring cup. Transfer to travel sized bottle with funnel, or gently pour. Throw in your bag and keep on you at all times!
Why these ingredients?
Alcohol disinfects, contrary to popular belief, 70% alcohol disinfects better than 91% because it doesn’t evaporate as quickly.
Aloe Vera Gel has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Tea Tree oil is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and even anti-inflammatory!
Eucalyptus oil has antimicrobial properties.
Always wash your hands when you can. Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap for at least 20 seconds!
