Description
A strong hand sanitizer recipe with alcohol as part of the base, this will strip up to 98% of both good and bad bacteria from your skin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups of water
1/2 cup whole flax seed
2 tbsp. glycerine
1 cup of vodka (best choice)ย or 99% rubbing alcohol.
5 drops each of tea tree essential oil, lavender essential oil, and rose geranium essential oil, or 10 drops of the essential oil of your choice.
Instructions
- Simmer the water and flax seed together for 15 minutes.ย You want a fairly thick jelly since you will be diluting it with alcohol.
- Strain the gel from the flax seed.ย Discard the flax seed and retain the gel
- You will have 2 cups of flax jelly.ย Put the flax jelly in the bowl of your stand mixer, with the whisk beater and begin to beat.
- Slowly add your vodka (or rubbing alcohol) to mix well.
- Add glycerine and essential oils of your choice.
- This flax/alcohol hand sanititizer closely resembles commercial hand sanitizing products in consistency, put in a squeeze or pump bottle.
- Label and date.
Notes
It feels a bit sticky when it goes on but it is absorbed by your skin quickly.ย If you are concerned about the toxic affects of rubbing alcohol being absorbed by your body, I recommend using vodka in this recipe.
