Not sure what's in your hand sanitizer...
Make your own! With the recent recall by the FDA on many hand sanitizers it's time to take action.
Many commercial hand sanitizers have toxic chemicals that will actually make you sick and not protect you. Below is a quick toxic free hand sanitizer recipe.
Combine:
1 ½ tsp witch hazel
⅓ tsp vitamin E oil
15 drops tea tree essential oil
½ cup aloe vera gel
Transfer to a pump or squeeze bottle and use for up to 2 weeks. Because of the antimicrobial properties of witch hazel and tea tree oil, this hand sanitizer is a powerful disinfectant. Unlike commercial hand sanitizers, however, it does not use alcohol to dry out your hands and actually functions as a restorative moisturizer.
