How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer

What ingredients do you need?

Making your own hand sanitizer is easy to do and only requires a few ingredients

• isopropyl or rubbing alcohol (99 percent alcohol volume)
• aloe vera gel.
• an essential oil, such as tea tree oil or lavender oil, or you can use lemon  juice instead.

The key to making an effective, germ-busting hand sanitizer is to stick to a 2:1 proportion of alcohol to aloe vera. This keeps the alcohol content around 60 percent. This is the minimum amount needed to kill most germs, according to the CDC.

Hand sanitizer recipe

What you’ll need:

• 3/4 cup of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol (99 percent).
• 1/4 cup of aloe vera gel (to help keep your hands smooth and to counteract the harshness of alcohol).
• 10 drops of essential oil, such as lavender oil, or you can use lemon juice instead.

Directions:

• Pour all ingredients into a bowl, ideally one with a pouring spout like a glass measuring container.
• Mix with a spoon and then beat with a whisk to turn the sanitizer into a gel.
• Pour the ingredients into an empty bottle for easy use, and label it “hand sanitizer.”

His hand sanitizer formula combines:

• two parts isopropyl alcohol or ethanol (91 percent to 99 percent alcohol)
• one part aloe vera
• a few drops of clove, eucalyptus, peppermint, or other essential oil.

If you are making hand sanitizer at home, Khubchandani says to adhere to these tips:

• Make the hand sanitizer in a clean space. Wipe down counter tops with a diluted bleach solution beforehand.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before making the hand sanitizer.
• To mix, use a clean spoon and whisk. Wash these items thoroughly before using them.
• Make sure the alcohol used for the hand sanitizer is not diluted.
• Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well blended.
• Do not touch the mixture with your hands until it is ready for use.

For a larger batch of hand sanitizer, the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source has a formula for a hand sanitizer that uses:

• isopropyl alcohol or ethanol
• hydrogen peroxide
• glycerol
• sterile distilled or boiled cold water

How to use hand sanitizer

Two things to be aware of when using hand sanitizer is that you need to rub it into your skin until your hands are dry. And, if your hands are greasy or dirty, you should wash them first with soap and water.

With that in mind, here are some tips for using hand sanitizer effectively.

1. Spray or apply the sanitizer to the palm of one hand.
2. Thoroughly rub your hands together. Make sure you cover the entire surface of your hands and all your fingers.
3. Continue rubbing for 30 to 60 seconds or until your hands are dry. It can take at least 60 seconds, and sometimes longer, for hand sanitizer to kill most germs.
