Home Made Hand Sanitiser

 

Have you noticed with the outbreak of corona virus that you can’t buy hand sanitiser anywhere?

​

Never fear – it’s pretty easy to make your own – with or without isopropyl alcohol.  The aloe vera is moisturising without greasiness.  The witch hazel and tea tree oil both have antiseptic qualities but the isopropyl alcohol kills 99.99 % or more of all non-spore forming bacteria in less than 30 seconds.

​

Ingredients

​

75 g pure aloe vera 

5 tablespoons witch hazel

20 drops of tea tree oil

​

Instructions

​

Pour from the jug into a suitable container and use without water to sanitise your hands!
