Ingredients to Prepare a Hand Sanitizer

Essential Ingredients to Prepare a Hand Sanitizer

Making a hand sanitizer at home does not require much, but just a few ingredients that can be sourced locally or online (e.g., Amazon).

The following ingredients can be used to produce a perfect hand sanitizer that can disinfect surfaces and kill most germs.

1. Alcohol (Isopropyl) (up to 99% alcohol volume).

2. Aloe vera gel.

3. Tea tree/lavender essential oil.

4. Lemon.

The minimum amount of alcohol needed to kill most germs is 60%, and this can only be achieved by mixing a 2:1 alcohol to Aloe vera ratio. This ratio would produce an effective, germ-killing sanitizer.

This is a recommendation coming from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This material follows a standard recommendation by health practitioners on how to go about producing an effective hand sanitizer.
