DIY Homemade Hand Sanitizer Formula from WHO

[@kencorsell8087]

Don’t give up the ship!! I read this yesterday 3/26/20.

Hydrogen peroxide reduces to water in the mixing process. The purpose of the peroxide is to kill any bacteria in the glycerin during mixing of 50 gallon tubs - not really necessary for small batches made in your kitchen. Also, you can use 99% pure aloe vera gel in place of the glycerin plus hydrogen peroxide plus water. 1 c alcohol 1/2 aloe vera gel Mix. Apply.

You should always cap 99% alcohol immediately after use -- it pulls water from the air and will dilute itself.

2 parts of the strongest white vinegar you can find to 1 part aloe vera gel. it's not perfect but in situations where you need something, vinegar is one of the best for killing germs and will get you through until you can get home and scrub your hands. if you can't get aloe gel then use 2 parts vinegar to 1 part dish washing liquid diluted with a little water or if your very lucky, some glycerine. carry in a spray bottle. yes your hands may get dry but it's nothing a little moisturizer won't fix! i hope this helps.

weaker concentrations are also still effective if you cut down on the amount of water used for dilution, and use sodium percarbonate directly in the alcohol solution to get the hydrogen peroxide concentration. High alcohol concentrations are only ideal because of the amount of water in the rest of the solution. High water content is generally necessary for anti-microbial agents to do their job.

I’m in the US. I bought ethanol at an upscale wine shop. There’s no glycerin, isopropyl alcohol, or aloe vera gel in my area. I found a lotion made with aloe vera and glycerin along with a lot of other stuff but it’s going to be diluted with the ethanol anyway. I also bought several essential oils and vitamin E oil to ameliorate the harshness of the alcohol. There are a lot of recipes for DIY hand sanitizer. Some call for distilled or filtered water. I drink Evian and it will have to do. I actually found some small plastic travel bottles. I also bought several different hand soap dispensers. We wash our hands every time we return home. The shelves here are also empty of most paper products, the most important being t.p. and kleenex. The supply chain is broken. They said yesterday, 3/15, that things would probably not return to normal for a month. It’s difficult to accept that the China corona virus is causing such a disruption to everyday activities. Update: the lotion curdled but I found aloe vera on 3/20 and made a good version. Just calculate properly so that the final alcohol concentration is at least 60%. Washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is preferable but the hand sanitizer is a must if you go out.

[@stephencannon3140]

Pádraig Glück think outside the box on this one......Burn relief and sunburn relief gel will be good too. Make sure the gel you get is Aloe Vera based which most should be. My recipe from University You Tube was 2/3 cup Isopropyl Alcohol...99% is great but above 60% should work. Mine was 91% and was still available at Dollar General. I had to make trips to two different stores but found Aloe Vera based burn relief gel at the second one. Formula was 2/3 cup Isopropyl Alcohol and 1/3 cup Aloe Vera Gel. I also used about 1/2 teaspoon of coconut scented oil from one of the plug in room freshener refill Bottles. Stir in mixing bowl and add to a travel size dispenser bottle. Since my Aloe Vera gel wasn’t quite 100% I went with 3/4 cup Alcohol and 1/2 cup Aloe Vera gel. Same concept just a little more quantity. You can put in a travel size squeezer spray bottle. If it seems to thick for the spray bottle then thin out with a touch more alcohol maybe teaspoon at a time. Mine didn’t turn out clear due to the AV gel having a green dye to it but works without being too thick for the hands and easy to transport.

[@Tommo020788]

problem with this formula is that the alcohol evaporates very quickly which means you gotta put a lot of it on so you can actually spread it properly, which means you will waste a lot and use it up quickly. The glycerine is there to help make it more spreadable and evaporate a little slower, but the actual alcohol in the mix will still evaporate off leaving glycerine behind so it feels like it hasn't evaporated. I think the best idea would be to make a foam or a gell using a surfactant of some sort to really make it so the alcohol doesn't evaporate so quickly. Hospitals use a kind of modified version of this recipie with a kind of soap/foaming agent added to it, dispensed using a foaming dispenser. Making gel with the alcohol would be a good idea too, perhaps you could use calcium acetate to form the gell as it causes alcohol to gel up.

HAHA! Like you can buy any of these in any store in town (Denver-a big city) or even online! You need to convince people to STOP HOARDING AND THIS INCLUDES FOOD!

[@RicardoLuna]

Do you know if there is a price control policy enforced in your area?

[@georgemalange7255]

to stay healthy sometimes tray to use moringa herb for / like chronic diseases it helps

[@lyndajonesthesoapmaker]

Can you substitute the water for Aloe Vera juice or gel? and add few drops of antibacterial essential oils ? thanks for the video.

[@graychang99]

WHO recommends that you not use other ingredients. www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf

[@RaechelleBennett782]

@@graychang99 That means ALL the hand sanitizers in the marketplace are all ineffective? Most are gel pump bottles. You cannot buy the recipe WHO puts out in the marketplace. I think people are overthinking and panicking. Soap and water and practice good sanitary habits. Stay home when you can.

Question: A. 15ml of 3% of HP in 320ml solution is 3%? If not, then what a waste for HP, since it doesnt kill fungi or spores at all. Correct me if i were wrong, HP concentration in 320ml solution was only 0.15%

[@goodgood9955]

Basically: 3/4 of the alcohol, some h2o2, glycerine, then top up to the 4/4 mark with boiled water which has been left to cool.

[@whodini2067]

One would assume the alcohol would wipe that down in less than 1 min think you can skip a step by waiting 1 min Edit afterthought: spores need reach 121•c

[@domenicferraro3053]

Can you use normal alchol that you distill? Or does it have to be rubbing alcohol? Cheer Dom

[@melissagrove2874]

Please use liquid measures for measuring liquids.

[@graychang99]

Do you mean metric units? (I have updated the Description section to show metric units.)

[@melissagrove2874]

No you are using a dry measure cup it is no as accurate as a liquid measuring cup or beaker. You can’t fill it as well and be accurate. General cooking rule.

[@graychang99]

Oh, OK. Thanks for the tip.

[@melissagrove2874]

G Chang totally not nit picking. I just want everyone to get the same good results.

[@Dominini]

@Sanic a table spoon is a table spoon, or 14.787 ml... the audience he is speaking to will understand a table spoon a helluva a lot better than ml, js...

[@blancaortega6370]

Can I add more glycerin than 1tsp?

[@Knightswhosaynee]

I can just see some trailer park boys making this with a cigarette in they mouth.

[@sherreewilson925]

G Lepp Lol. 🤗

[@hellequingentlemanbastard9497]

They probably use it orally afterwards...... from a Mason Jar.

[@neville3151]

Well....the resulting explosion will kill germs also.

[@wesrichards6168]

Most folks in trailer parks know that alcohol is flammable, its the brainless city buffoons you should be concerned about.

[@prettypleidean3896]

😝😝😝😂😂😂😂😂

[@psmith4980]

Can assume that if I combine 15 oz of 91% with 15 oz of 70%, I will have a 30 oz of 80% alcohol which using the Scale Down formula, will get me 32 oz?

[@glowgirl8519]

Try adding a few drops of essential oils for fragrance

[@munmilks]

heck no unless you want a contact dermatitis on ur hands lol

[@marwanaghadizayee6991]

Hello Dear.could you please tell me to make 500 ml hand sanitizer how much ml should mix of %91 isopropyl alcohol,%99.5glycerin and %3hydrogen peroxide.thanks

[@leal536]

Unfortunately, in my area (Washington State), alcohol cannot be found. I am thankful that I have 91% in stock along with all the other ingredients.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Guy is an idiot. Hydrogen peroxide is photosensitive. Stores it in a clear container. It decomposes. Worthless.

[@TheHypnag0g222]

Dry the IPA out using non-iodized salt. The salt will absorb the water. Put IPA in safe jar/bottle. Add non iodized salt in approximately 1:3 ratio (one part salt to 3 parts IPA) . Shake solution. Let sit for ~15 min. You will see 2 layers. The salt at the bottom has absorbed the water. The top clear layer is the alcohol minus the water. Use a pipette to extract the clear alcohol layer on top. Store in an airtight container.

[@elizabethhadwin8474]

Can you substitute the water for aloe & vitamin e oil?

[@eyvonnehammonds2949]

Why does it need to be 75%? The Purell type is only 60%..…

[@ridethetoonarmy]

If purell is 60% then it will have a shorter shelf life, as soon as the alcohol inside starts to evaporate from the mixture and goes below 60% then it won't be as effective. I guess it's also 60% to make it more of a gel consistency

[@rosesmith3948]

It has to be 70% or higher to be protected.

[@lauhome6221]

Eyvonne Hammonds the most effective disinfectant strength for killing bacteria and germs is between 60% to 75%. Purell is a commercial product and for cost effective, the company is only required to produce the lowest effective strength for the product to work. However, they are also adding aloe Vera to some of their hand sanitizers. Please note, adding Hydro peroxide could extend the shelf life of your home make sanitizer.

[@munna63fam]

Please tell me the percentage I want to make 5 litres How much should i use isopropyle alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, glycerine in percentage or you can tell in ml

[@williambroadhurst5780]

let's just hope that we don't end up making meth.

[@ak20k6]

HAHA!

[@JuggoJuggo]

Why?

[@richardfox3924]

[@anandkumargupta7923]

[@1PlacidPig]

[@avamaria8447]

[@rueedward]

Hi..thanks for sharing.. but what is the ratio for hydrogen peroxide 6%...how do I dilute is become 3%?

[@zulfasyamohdshafie2778]

For 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% 25ml hydrogen peroxide 25ml distilled water

[@rueedward]

Thanks 😄

[@princessgarcia8757]

So sad, there is no available alcohols in our place ☹️

[@Loftikaz]

some aftershaves have 80% alcohol.

[@joeluis2455]

Why is H202 would the light(uv rays) not just kill it off?

[@stargazer1359]

Distilled water probably best ....

[@stargazer1359]

@Hugh Glass I find it daily....I go through quite a bit daily, it's all we consume in our household. Pets included.. Whole Foods & Publix

[@tabithade]

WHO also recommended cooled boiled water

[@arnabdas9169]

Are propanol and iso propyle same thing?
