Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tail (FSPDT): Homemade Hand Sanitizer Recipe

I love trying out diy products. So when I came across hand sanitizer that was great for kids and nursing mom's I was excited and ready to try it out. I would like to try the one with alcohol one day but haven't gotten around to it yet. In this post you will see the decorated container I put it in for my friend.

I had been taking store bought hand sanitizer and decorating the bottles and gifting them to teacher, principles, family members, and my son's pediatrician's office. I did this during Christmas. People that use it on a daily basis. I thought it was a great idea to jazz up something that sits on their desk or counters anyways. I will try to get some pictures of the ones we have and post them later. The No Ordinary Homestead had the recipe I followed for Making Homemade hand sanitizer.

What you need:

1c pure aloe vera gel, 1-2 tsp witch hazel, 1/4 tsp pine and lavender essential oils(this combo is what makes it sanitize). If you are not a nursing mother or pregnant you can use tee tree oil. You can add more scents to this it says but I thought the 2 together was very strong!

What to do:

mix the ingredients together and put in container or pump to store.

If you are just looking for a good smelling and cheap hand sanitizer add essential oils you like to your store bought hand sanitizer. I have done that too.

The gift was a hit with my friend. We also enjoyed it too.

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
