The Best and Safest Hand Sanitizer Recipes You Can Make At Home

March 16, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

DIY Hand sanitizer recipes have been around for years and suddenly everything DIY is cool again but only out of desperation :). Some of us are DIY preppers from way back in the day.

Here are the best recipes we have collected that cover DIY hand sanitizers. All of them are similar yet different. I personally love essential oils in mine – not only do they smell nice, but they have their own antibacterial properties and skin healing abilities.

Mind you, because everyone is adding chemicals to their hands and washing their hands with soap 100 times a day, the next issue is we are all going to have dry irritated skin so you will be running short of is hand creams. (We have recipes here).

Here is our own DIY Sanitizer recipe back from 2011 (updated to follow the CDC guidelines).


1 cup Aloe Vera Gel (or you can make your own)
3/4 cup of rubbing alcohol
2 teaspoons vegetable glycerin
8-10 drops tea tree or lavender essential oil 


Other recipes

Midget Momma shares her tutorial here. 

Seasonal Mumma shows you how to make a refill for your store-bought sanitizer and this on from Earth Friendly Tips. 

Here are some more details about essential oils with antibacterial properties.

Lavender Essential Oil – Headaches, stress, insomnia, minor burns, skin rashes, lowers blood pressure. Calmative. Basil Essential Oil- Anti bacterial, headaches, mental alertness, fatigue, stress, Period pains (Blends well with lemon and fennel).
