Make Your Own French Lavender Hand Sanitiser with Aloes

Bonjour Mama! Making your own French Lavender Hand Sanitiser with Aloes is easy. The recipe has the added ingredient of aloe vera to keep your hands soft and that of your family’s hands, too.

I found the lavender oil in the market of Isle Sur la Sorgue, in Provence, France. You can find it at a chemist, or online. If i am able to source the storeholder of this gorgeous oil I’ll add a link.

Ingredients

3/4 cup of rubbing alcohol 99% (isopropyl)

1/4 cup of aloe vera gel to keep your hands soft (but tinges the sanitiser green)

8 drops of French Lavender essential oil – or another scent that you love, French Vanilla perhaps.

*All ingredients can be sourced from a chemist or supermarket.

Instructions

♥Place all ingredients into a glass bowl

♥Mix with a clean spoon and then beat with a whisk until the ingredients become a gel

♥Pour into a glass jar and label it clearly: French Lavender Hand Sanitiser

Voila!
