Author: Lexi

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons 99% isopropyl alcohol see note
  • 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
  • 8-10 drops of essential oil optional
  • 5 drops vitamin E oil

Instructions

  • Sanitize all equipment that will come into contact with the sanitizer either by running it in a dishwasher or boiling for 5 minutes (take care to only boil heat safe items).
  • Either mix together ingredients in a sanitized bowl with a non-metal utensil, or add the ingredients to your destined sanitizer container and mix it up.

Notes

  • If you are using a 70% isopropyl alcohol you need to change the proportions to this:
    • 7 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of 70% isopropyl alcohol
    • 2 teaspoons aloe vera gel
