How to make hand sanitizers at home

Homemade sanitizer is likely better than nothing. But commercially made hand sanitizer is always better because it undergoes quality control to ensure effective alcohol content. However, To make effective hand sanitizer at home, follow the recipe carefully and take some precautions. Here is what you need for the preparation of hand sanitizers;

1.  1 part aloe vera gel or glycerin
2. 2 part isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) with a concentration of 91%
3. Essential oil, such as lemon or lavender (this is an optional ingredient for scent) 
4. Clean containers for mixing and an air-tight container for storage
5. Spoon or whisk for mixing

Steps

Combine the aloe vera gel or glycerin with the isopropyl alcohol in a clean container. To get one cup of sanitizer, combine ⅓ cup of gel or glycerin with ⅔ cup of rubbing alcohol.

Mix thoroughly with your spoon or whisk to ensure that the alcohol is evenly distributed throughout the gel. 

Stir in five drops of an essential oil, if you're using it. This is entirely optional and is only meant to improve the scent of the sanitizer.

Store the sanitizer in an air-tight container. Alcohol evaporates with time, so an air-tight container will keep your sanitizer effective for longer. A pump or squeeze bottle can minimize evaporation while keeping your sanitizer easily accessible — just make sure the container for your sanitizer is clean and air-tight.
