Ingredients:
- 2/3 isopropyl alcohol (99.9%)
- 1/3 aloe vera juice (100%)
- Gives us an alcohol concentration of 67%.
For a 1-liter batch the formula is:
- 667mL isopropyl alcohol
- 333mL aloe vera juice
Notes: this is a liquid sanitizer, not a gel. We also made batches with essential oils such as lemongrass and lavender. The most popular sanitizer is the unscented, plain version.
