Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer Gel + Free Printable

I have always kept hand sanitizer on-hand. I carry it with me in my purse or tote bag. I also have a bottle at our front door. My son knows to use it before we leave! We recently whipped up our very own Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer Gel that is also a kid-friendly formula! 

I wanted to create hand sanitizer that is not only moisturizing but safe for all ages! Even before the Coronavirus and adapting to our new normal of staying at home, we have always washed our hands constantly and use hand sanitizer when we are out and about.

Currently, we are using a natural brand and I really love it. It is gentle on our hands and doesn’t leave our skin looking and feeling dry!

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when we ran out! I really like the brand and the product smells good! Would I go back to making my own hand sanitizer?

Make your own homemade hand sanitizer!

We are so excited to share our Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer Gel that is safe for the whole family to use! We also have a free printable! You can print your own labels!

Our Homemade Hand Sanitizer Gel is made with 3 essential oils and 2 organic moisturizing oils!

Before starting, be sure to clean your work surface. You can use our homemade lemon vinegar cleaner. As the CDC recommends, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. Now, you are ready to get started!
