This recipe caught my attention ... I use the EO Hand Sanitizer that I buy at the Health Store, but that is getting a bit expensive.

*************************************************************************

To make your own gel hand sanitizer, you will need to purchase a few ingredients. Most of these ingredients are very inexpensive and will allow you to make a great deal of hand gel sanitizer.

# Step 1

You will need to purchase 100% pure aloe vera gel, Witch Hazel, Tea Tree essential oil and Peppermint essential oil. All of these ingredients should be high quality and contain no additional additives.

# Step 2

Place about 1 cup of your pure aloe vera gel into a bowl.

# Step 3

Slowly mix in 1-2 teaspoons of Witch Hazel. You do not want the consistency of the gel to become too thin.

# Step 4

Add 3-4 drops of Tea Tree essential oil, and 3-4 drops of Peppermint essential oil. Slowly stir ingredients together.

# Step 5

If you find the consistency to be too thin, add more aloe vera gel a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

# Step 6

Store in your desired container. Use as you would any other hand sanitizer as necessary.

All of the ingredients in this mixture are safe and natural to use on your body. Witch Hazel, Tea Tree Oil and Peppermint all have antiseptic and astringent properties to them, which make them great for killing germs and also healing small cuts and wounds. The aloe vera gel will help soothe skin and keep skin from drying out.
