Homemade Hand Sanitizer

To make your own hand sanitizer, you only need two ingredients: Aloe vera, and rubbing alcohol.

In a blender, mix one cup fresh aloe vera gel scooped from inside 2 medium aloe vera leaves. Only the clear gel is used,  avoiding the green outer skin. Mix gel with with two cups (16 oz) rubbing alcohol until blended. Use wintergreen infused alcohol for a fresh scent, or use regular clear isopropyl alcohol and then add a few drops of essential oils to make it smell better.

The mixture will be thinner than store-bought hand sanitizer.  Completely coat your hands with gel and let them air dry.  FYI:  Vodka is not an effective substitute for rubbing alcohol; trying it would be considered “Alcohol Abuse”.
