    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.

      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!

    Thank you so much. For the different diy hand sanitizer, spray sanitizers. I will be sharing with my various communities (work, students, church. Many don’t have access to these items because they are sold out. Many people are on budgets.

    This is a perfect post. Both of my children are in the school system and they buy hand sanitizer all the time and it can be a little pricy. I will be sharing this recipe with them. It is something that is really needed.
