Sounds like a great recipe for homemade hand sanitizer especially with the pandemic.

Thanks Christie!
Ian says
Are the essential oils you mention in the recipe added for any reason other than aesthetics, like smell? I would think that the IPA alone, at better than 60%, would be sufficient to do the job.
DIY Thrill says
Hi Ian,
The orange essential oil is mostly just for scent, but I also like to add tea tree oil for it’s antiviral properties. Hope this helps!
