item you will need:
100% pure aloe vera gel
witch hazel
tea tree oil
peppermint oil
add 1 cup of pure aloe vera gel into a bowl
slowly mix in 1-2 teaspoons of Witch Hazel. (you do not want the consistency of the gel to become too thin)
add 3-4 drops of tea tree essential oil, and 3-4 drops of peppermint essential oil.
slowly stir ingredients together.
(if you find the consistency to be too thin, add more aloe vera gel a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency)
store in any desired container and use as you would any other hand sanitizer
*the ingredients in this mixture are safe and natural to use on your body. witch hazel, tea tree oil and peppermint all have antiseptic and astringent properties to them, which make them great for killing germs and also healing small cuts and wounds. The aloe vera gel will help soothe skin and keep skin from drying out
**tips & warnings
you can add other scented essential oils to the mixture for a more pleasant scent such as lavender oil or rose oil and if you find the tea tree oil and peppermint oil scent to strong, use lesser amounts
witch hazel and tea tree oil can cause excessive dryness in people with sensitive skin, if you find this occurring, limit the use of your sanitizer to a few times a day
