With the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, it has become increasingly difficult to find hand sanitizers in stores. However, you can easily make your own homemade hand sanitizer using a few simple ingredients. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making hand sanitizer at home.

What You’ll Need

  • 2/3 cup of Isopropyl alcohol (99%)
  • 1/3 cup of Aloe vera gel
  • 10 drops of Essential oil (optional for fragrance)
  • A small funnel
  • A mixing bowl and spoon
  • A small empty bottle or travel-sized container

Step 1: Measure the Ingredients

Start by measuring out the isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel. You can adjust the quantities to make smaller or larger batches as needed.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

Pour the measured isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel into the mixing bowl. If desired, add a few drops of essential oil for a pleasant scent. Use the spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined.

Step 3: Transfer to a Bottle

Place the small funnel over the opening of the empty bottle or container. Carefully pour the homemade hand sanitizer mixture into the bottle, ensuring not to spill any. Remove the funnel and securely close the bottle.

Step 4: Label and Store

Using a label or sticker, write “Hand Sanitizer” and the date of creation on the bottle. Store the homemade hand sanitizer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to Use Homemade Hand Sanitizer

To use your homemade hand sanitizer, apply a small amount (about a pea-sized drop) onto your hands. Rub your hands together, covering all surfaces, until the sanitizer evaporates completely. Remember to use hand sanitizer as a backup when soap and water are not readily available.

Final Thoughts

Making your own hand sanitizer at home is not only cost-effective but also gives you control over the ingredients used. Use this step-by-step guide to create your own supply of homemade hand sanitizer and promote good hand hygiene during these challenging times. Stay safe and stay healthy!

Note: Homemade hand sanitizers should have an alcohol content of at least 60% to be effective against germs and viruses.
