Let's make some hand sanitizer!

We want everyone to protect themselves and others and it's well known one of the best things you can do is wash your hands and wash them often. However when this option is not readily available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol is the next best option.

For those lucky to still have access to hand sanitizer, count your blessing as it's now in demand. If you're like most people and can't get your hands on any, don't lose all hope! It's very simple to make and you might be surprised to know the supplies are commonly found in your bathroom cupboard! That's right, if you have rubbing alcohol and aloe vera you have the basic ingredients for a DIY effect hand sanitizer.

3 Ingredients you Need

To make this yourself, combine the below ingredients:

- 2/3 cups rubbing alcohol ( at least 60%)

- 1/3 cup aloe vera

- *Optional- 2 drops of your favourite essential oil. We love eucalyptus or tea tree oil

Mix everything so that it is well incorporated. Pour into a clean plastic bottle.

We want everyone to feel as empowered as they can in these scary times. Let us know your experience with making this or if you have any further tips that can help us all!
