DIY Hand Sanitizer Recipes

Flu season is no joke! Check out these simple DIY Hand Sanitizer Recipes below to help keep those germs away.

All recipes yield 2 oz of hand sanitizer, however, recipes can be altered to make more or less if desired. If final product is too thick, add more alcohol/vodka; if it is too thin, add more aloe vera/vegetable glycerin.

Shake final product well before each use and apply generously. The final product should last several months.

The CDC recommends hand sanitizers contain at least 60% alcohol.
