So, apparently you can make hand sanitizer at home.
, there's an alternative option beyond good old-fashioned handwashing with soap and water.
Along with face masks and sanitizing wipes, alcohol-based sanitizing gel has been one of the most in-demand items as coronavirus fears have sparked panic buying that has left store shelves bare. This had brought complaints of price gouging, with a two-pack of Purell 12-ounce bottles selling for a marked-up $149.
For a price comparison, during back-to-school shopping this summer, eight-ounce bottles of Purell, a popular item on teachers' wish lists, cost less than $2 between sales and coupons. Now, shoppers are going the do-it-yourself route and making batches of homemade hand sanitizer with items widely available in most households.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says handwashing with soap and water is the best ways to clean your hands, but when that's not an option, the agency recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
The ThoughtCo recipe calls for two-thirds of a cup of the rubbing alcohol or ethanol and a third-cup of aloe vera gel. According to the reference site, essential oils can also be added to it.
