Since many of the hand santizers found in stores contain toxic chemicals that I don’t want on my body, I decided to make my own. It was easy and cheap – one bottle cost about $4 to make, and I have enough supplies to make at least 10 more bottles for pennies more. Here’s how it worked:
1. Buy a small spray pump bottle at your local pharmacy or drug store (cost: about $1)
2. Buy a combination of essential oils: grapefruit seed extract, geranium, Young Living Theives,thyme, oregano oil, cinnamon, lavender, etc.
3. Combine 20-30 drops of each oil (I used grapefruit seed and geranium in one, Theives in another) and fill the rest of the bottle with water.
4. Stick a bottle in your purse, diaper bag, stroller, car, etc. Spray 2-4 times on one hand and rub together to disinfect.
5. Refill when empty.
