Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Based on the current health concern our nation is facing and the shortage of hand sanitizer in stores, I wanted to share a simple natural homemade hand sanitizer with two ingredients you likely already have around your house. Just mix 2/3 cup 91% rubbing alcohol with 1/3 cup aloe vera gel. You can also add a few drops of essential oil for calming and scent but this ingredient is optional. That combination works out to about 63% alcohol which is above the CDC guidelines.
