What’s in DIY hand purifier?


As always, we are committed to quality ingredients in all our products and DIY recipes.  Hand purifier is no exception!  Using three household ingredients and your favorite essential oils, this easy DIY comes together in just a few minutes.

  • Isopropyl alcohol is the hero of this recipe. Killing germs and taking names.  The alcohol is doing the heavy lifting.
  • Aloe vera gel is a jack of all trades in this recipe.  Not only does it thicken the solution so it’s easier to use, but it also helps condition the skin.
  • Jojoba oil moisturizes your skin for oh-so-soft hands. The best part? Jojoba is a non-greasy carrier oil that will leave your hands moisturized but not greasy.
  • Essential oils offer their unique properties and special scents, so you can customize your recipe to smell like classic Thieves Hand Sanitizer, a festival of floral scents, a tropical oasis, or anything else your heart desires!
