1/8 cup Aloe Vera Jelly
43 drops Defender, Germ Fighter, or Germ Destroyer

*This recipe has been updated to include alcohol for maximum effectiveness.

What you’ll do:

Measure out Everclear/ethanol and Aloe Vera Jelly into different containers. Mix the essential oils in the ethanol and then slowly add in the Aloe Vera Jelly while mixing with an immersion blender or hand mixer. Once blended, pour into your sanitizer container and use as needed.
