    Sometimes, a prepper’s armaments are small and effective. This recipe makes 9 ounces.

    INGREDIENTS:
    • 7 Drops Lavender Essential Oil

    • 30 Drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

    • 1 Tablespoon High Proof Vodka OR Witch Hazel Extract

    • 8 Ounces Aloe Vera Gel (Use 100% Pure)

    • ¼ Teaspoon Vitamin E Oil

    • Cobalt Blue Squirt Bottles

    DIRECTIONS:
    • Drop Essential Oils and Vitamin E Oil into a glass bowl and use a chop stick or butter knife to swirl gently to mix.

    • Add the Vodka or Witch Hazel Extract to the Oil mix and swirl gently again.

    • Combine this mixture with the Aloe Vera Gel and mix well.

    • Transfer the sanitizer to the small squirt bottles.

    • Shake well before use.
    FACTS:
    • Lavender Essential Oil is antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial.

    • Tea Tree Essential Oil is antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-viral.

    • Aloe Vera Gel is an anti-inflammatory and soothes the skin.

    • Vitamin E Oil blocks free radicals to help preserve the sanitizer and is a skin softener.

    • The reason colored squirt bottles are used is to ensure the sanitizer is not directly exposed to UV light, as this breaks down its components, rendering it less effective.

    • Some skin types may be allergic to some of the ingredients. If a rash occurs, discontinue use.

    All the ingredients and supplies can be found through affiliate links on my blog. I use and recommend Starwest Botanicals.
