Homemade Hand Sanitizer!

Homemade Hand Sanitizer
Just in case you can't find any in the stores--keep these items on your shelves to make your own!

yields 1 liter

1 cup glycerin
½ cup aloe vera gel
3 ½ cups 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (isopropyl is easier to find than ethyl)
10 - 20 drops of essential oil such as tea tree, lavender, oregano or lemon

Mix together and use a whisk or hand blender on high to aerate. The resulting liquid is not as thick as Purell or Germ-X. Both products use thickening agents called carbomer. The glycerin and aloe vera gel provides some thickening needed to slow down the evaporation of the alcohol on your hands.

I doubled the recipe and made 2 liters and filled up two empty conditioner bottles.
( a friend makes this and has the ratio of alcohol correct. I'm making mine this week with lavender)
