Ryan & Wood making sanitizer

On Saturday we went to Ryan & Wood to pick up their hand sanitizer that they are making.  Only one person at a time in the shop with proper social distancing.  This 1 Liter of hand sanitizer filled almost 40 fl. oz of sanitizer.  The containers that were used are pumps of hand soap.  Instead of throwing these plastics in recycle, we use them for other things.  Great idea by Ryan & Wood and thank you.  Always try to shop local.

SUPER SIMPLE DIY HAND SANITIZER RECIPE

If your skin breaks out in rashes from harsh chemical additives to personal care products, or you aren’t always near a sink for a thorough 20 second hand washing, here is a simple recipe for homemade hand sanitizer.

1/3 C. Aloe vera gel

2/3 C. Rubbing alcohol (99%)

Few drops of essential oil.

Combine all ingredients.

I had neroli oil on hand, but lavender oil, which has natural antiseptic properties would be even better.

Both essential oils and aloe are available at Common Crow.
