This recipe was provided by a close and careing friend with her permission. In a follow up message to me she recommended the rubbing alcohol substitution. I did some additional research and saw references to using 95% rubbing alcohol if you can find it. I am not a doctor or a chemist so I can't confirm safety or effectiveness but this seems like a reasonable alternative in tough times. Of course you are making / using it at your own risk.

With the news that you cant find hand sanitizer or wipes in stores I thought I would share how to make your own.
5 to 10 drops lavender essential oil
30 drops tea tree essential oil
3 ounces high proof vodka like everclear (rubbing alcohol can be sunstituted)
1 ounce pure aloe vera gel
1/4 teaspoon vitamin e oil
Mix oils and vit e in a bowl. Swirl
Add alcohol...swirl again
Combine with aloe vera and mix well.
Pour into small squirt bottle.
To make a spray, substitute witch hazel for the aloe vera and pour into spray bottle.
Make sure bottles are a dark color to protect the oils.
Do a small skin test to make sure you arent allergic.
Good luck!
