Make Cinnamon Hand Sanitizer

Make Cinnamon Hand Sanitizer


Cleanliness is the first step in safeguarding your family’s health. Clinical studies prove that the frequent use of waterless hand sanitizers can cut down on the occurrence of colds and flu. All hand sanitizers use alcohol as a germ destroying active ingredient. Making your own hand sanitizer is an easy way of always having plenty “on hand.” This recipe adds the fragrance of cinnamon, but you can also experiment with lemon, lime, vanilla or any other scent that you wish to try. Be creative in finding your own signature blends. The addition of coloring is optional.


Instructions


1. Place the aloe vera gel into a mixing bowl.








2. Add the grain alcohol to the aloe vera gel and stir to combine.


3. Add the cinnamon fragrance oil to the aloe vera and alcohol mixture.








4. Stir in the drops of food coloring. Stir well to blend all ingredients. This may take up to one minute.


5. Pour the cinnamon hand sanitizer into a spray bottle. Use a funnel if the opening of the bottle is narrow. The hand sanitizer is ready to be used immediately.
