This Alochol Free Hand Sanitizer also doubles as an on the go soap that doesn’t need to be washed off!  With only 4 simple ingredients and the right bottle you’ll have yourself a nice stash of foaming hand sanitizer (or on the go hand soap) for less than you’d pay at the grocery store!  Such an easy recipe and great way to keep clean!

 

 

Ingredients for Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer:

• Foaming Bottle – Making a liquid foaming hand sanitizer will cut costs and make the product last even longer.  I also find it easier to squish between my fingers!
• Castile Soap – This is a concentrated soap that will remove germs but wont kill them.
• Witch Hazel – Helps keep your hands soft and smooth without drying out.
• Essential Oils – I use Thieves and Lemon.  However you could use other scents.  Just make sure you know the oil and it’s uses before using.  You do not want to add an oil that can harm yourself or children with direct skin contact.
• Water – water makes everything better!

 

 

How to make Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer:

This recipe is SOOOO easy.  Simply add your ingredients to your bottle, swirl your solution around – DO NOT SHAKE (unless you like a bubbly volcano!) and use!  

 

 

Alcohol vs. Castile Soap:

Castile Soap will remove bacteria and germs, however Alcohol will kill them.  Because of this difference the CDC recommends alcohol based hand sanitizer when in contact with contagious viruses.  This is why I recommend using this Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer in your home or as a portable foaming soap on the go that you can leave on your skin without washing off.

 

 

Additional Ways to Prevent the Spread of Germs:

• Wash hands for 20 seconds – back of hands, and in between fingers are a must!
• Do not touch your face!  This is SO SO hard for me! I’m a face toucher!  However if you do have an itch, use a napkin or tissue instead of your fingers.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with others.  Hand shakes, hugs and high fives should be reserved for non flu season and those in whom you know are well.
• Cough and Sneeze on your boobies!  Yep! In my home when my kids cough or sneeze I always shout BOOBIES!!  As a reminder that they should NOT cough in their hands or elbows, but instead in a contained space like down their shirt.  More than any other location, germs are guaranteed to stay contained within your shirt and not out in the open where others could come in contact.  Plus you don’t have to wash your hands as often.  Trust me, you are showering daily anyway, so keep it contained!

 

 

Be Safe Warnings:

• Some essential oils are not recommend for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.  So know the oils you are using before you use them. If you are unsure, you can always reach out to your oil distributor or find out information on each oil HERE. Just click the no thanks button under get started to search for all the available oils.
