DIY Hand Purifier Recipe Using Young Living Oils

Here's a DIY Hand Purifier Recipe!

This recipe is provided by YL and is found on their blog.   The key to DIY hand purifier that works? The proper amount of germ-killing alcohol. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), hand purifier must have 60 percent alcohol content in order to be effective.

DIY HAND PURIFIER RECIPE

Yield: approximately 4–5 travel-sized containers
Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup 99% isopropyl alcohol or high proof alcohol like everclear
  • 1/3 cup aloe vera gel
  • 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
  • 20 drops Thieves® essential oil blend
  • 20 drops Peppermint essential oil
Directions:
1. Add alcohol, aloe vera, and jojoba oil to a bowl.
2. Add essential oils and mix well to combine.
3. Store in travel-sized containers with a lid.

HOW TO USE HAND PURIFIER

Put a small amount of purifier in the palm of one hand, then rub it all over every surface of both hands. Keep rubbing until it is dry.
YL tip: Remember, hand purifier is a good solution when soap and water are unavailable, but the CDC recommends opting for the classic soap-and-water method whenever possible.
Thank you Young Living for providing this recipe! 

Tip- If you only have 91% Isopropyl alcohol on hand, you'll need to increase the amount of alcohol in this recipe for a 3:1 ratio of alcohol to aloe vera to meet the 60% alcohol content for effectiveness.
