With younger children running around touching everything, I try to keep a supply of hand sanitizer and other balms tucked in my bag whenever we are out. While I prefer to just have my kiddos use soap and water, it’s nice to have something quick for little hands.
Natural Hand Sanitizer
6 ounces aloe vera gel
Essential oils:
10 drops tea tree oil
10 drops lavender
10 drops peppermint
5 drops eucalyptus
3 drops lemon
2 drops clove
5-10 drops vitamin E oil
I combine aloe, essential oils and vitamin E in a bottle. This solution is thin enough that I could use a spritzer top, but a pump or dropper top would also work well.
Shake before each use to make sure oils are well dispersed.
