*According to the CDC, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs.
Ingredients:
• Isopropyl alcohol (It is best to use a bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol)
• Aloe vera
Directions:
Fill up plastic container with three-quarters 99% isopropyl alcohol, one-quarter aloe vera. From there you can add glitter or a few drops of essential oil for your favorite scent.
WARNING: Experts note that if you don’t mix the right amounts of alcohol to aloe vera, you could damage your skin.
