hi everybody its Ellen with Keeping

sisters kreative we are gonna be making

some homemade hand sanitizer today with

some of the things that I have already

had in my house and researching it we

figured out a formula that seems pretty

easy and we're gonna show you today I

made some earlier and it seemed to work

out pretty well and I used the 91%

isopropyl alcohol that I had here at the

house and they said anything over 60% is

sufficient and using aloe vera gel and

that is to help with the the harshness

of the alcohol that dries out your skin

the aloe vera gel helps to retain the

moisture and then it also helps to

thicken the consistency of the sanitizer

when it's all completed so we're going

to start with 2/3 cup of the alcohol and

I'm going to go ahead and measure this

out and try to show you it is 2/3 cup

and in and then we'll go ahead and

measure 1/3 of the aloe vera

[Music]

definitely thicker that's gonna measure

up to the 1/3 line makes all kinds of

noises - we are out there maybe a little

more and there we go we're gonna go

ahead and put that in the whisk that

Maria recommended that's gonna help to

mix all that up it takes a little bit of

time for it to mix and what we found is

that after a little bit of time sitting

after record in the bottles that it

tends to thicken up a little more - now

like I said I just using what I had here

at my house and the recipe does call for

us using essential oils lavender Maria

say she used lemon on hers and

unfortunately I don't have any here at

my house today so that you know what I'm

gonna try this and basically the

essential oil is to help with the scent

and figured I'm gonna give this to my

husband and he's not gonna want anything

like really flowery or you know he's

he's pretty good with just that strong

smell and so as I'm whisking it it's

starting to mix and go ahead and

transfer this to the bottles I had these

bottles here at my house I said you can

use the things that you already have and

I'm gonna go ahead with this

measuring cup and see it's already

started to thicken in here and my final

is a little bit big for the opening of

the bottles that I have so I'm gonna use

this and my trusty bowl to help me with

this process so stick that probably

whisk it a little bit more in here

because there is some stuff in this

measuring cup

[Music]

let's see how it's already started to

thicken and I'm going to go ahead and

just pour this in here and what you can

also do is maybe not fill it up so much

and then you put your lid on like if it

seems a little thin you add more aloe

vera and you can just shake it and

that's what it looks like you go ahead

and let it fly and and if it seems a

little thin you just add more to it but

see it just shows you how you can use it

and I'll probably get some essential

oils to put in there but it doesn't

smell bad it smells like aloe vera and

you have a nice bottle of hand sanitizer

that you were able to make and in our

current times it's really coming in

handy for us so I hope this video was

helpful for all of you and it was really

helpful for me to be able to know that I

hadn't alternative so thank you so much

for watching and we hope you all just

take really good care
