I'm going to be showing you how to make DIY hand sanitizer. Yes,
everybody wants hand sanitizer right now and you can mix them yourself at home!
It's super easy. I have our DIY kit here today and it has all these beautiful
goodies inside.
Something important to know when you're making your own hand sanitizer is that
you need to have at least 60% alcohol in your total formula in order for your
hand sanitizer to be effective at killing germs and viruses. Our hand
sanitizer kit contains a bottle of our organic alcohol and witch hazel mixture
which has 75% alcohol and 25% witch hazel. That witch hazel is going to help
soothe your skin so if you're using your hand sanitizer frequently it won't dry
out your skin. Every kit comes with this cute little instruction card so if you
didn't have this video you'd easily be able to make them on your own, but we
won't be needing that for now. We are also going to be using essential oils to
scent our hand sanitizer. Today
we are using some of my favorite essential oils. Today we're using Blood
Orange - smells incredible - California Lemon and French Lavender. The three of
these combined not only smell amazing but they have their own antimicrobial
antibacterial and antiviral properties so you're getting a double whammy from
your organic alcohol and these a hundred percent pure essential oils. So you only
need a few things to make your own hand sanitizer - fragrance or essential oil if
you'd like it, your base which again today we're using alcohol and witch
hazel - this is an organic combination, and then you're going to need bottles -something
to put your final product into. So I have these cute little two ounce spray bottles
that I can make eight total hand sanitizers with this kit. In addition
you're going to need a glass pitcher or anything that you can put the
ingredients into - if you have a bowl at home or a Pyrex you could easily use
that as well. Because I'm using the kit today I don't need to measure anything
out, however if you don't have a kit and you're making your own hand sanitizer
with these components, you'll want to use around three to six percent essential
oil or fragrance oil in your total formula. So I don't need to measure
anything, I have 16 ounces of this base, I'm simply going to pour the
entire mixture into my glass pitcher,
every last drop of that good stuff. And then I'm also going to pour all of these
essential oils in. So again we have French lavender - very beautiful aromatic
true lavender smell, and we have Blood Orange, one of my personal favorites, it's
super juicy. Blood orange and lemon are very energizing citrus essential oils
and they both help to kill germs. so I'm
going to combine all of these amazing ingredients. Grab my honey spoon and
you're going to want to mix them together for one to two minutes so that they
fully combine. Super easy, you can do this in five minutes on your own, so if
you can't find hand sanitizer or you just like to be creative and make your
own products, this is the perfect DIY for you.
Beautiful. The kit also comes with this little funnel which makes it really easy
if you are a messy maker like me and you need a little bit of help to prevent
spillage, this funnel is your best friend.
Simply place your funnel over the bottle and you're going to want to be careful. Pour
nice and slow here. Beautiful. That is it, it is so easy
to make your own hand sanitizer, anyone can do it - you just need these very
simple ingredients - you need alcohol, again at least 60%. We're using a mixture
of 75% alcohol, 25% witch hazel, and then if you'd like
you can scent it with essential oils or fragrance oils and that's it!
