DIY organic hand sanitizer 

Ingredients: 

65- 68 ml organic cane alcohol 190-proof

30 ml organic aloe vera gel

10-20 drops essential oils, lemongrass *
(I used aloe juice in this video, however, thick aloe gel is recommended to serve as a carrier if essential oil is added… I think it’s okay to use juice, just have to shake well before use. )

Instructions: 

Mix alcohol and aloe vera gel

Add essential oils

Pour into a glass spray bottle, shake well 

Shake well before use

I reused @evanhealy ‘s spray bottle in this video, on the bottle it says “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Things will get better 🙏🏻✨💛
