DIY Homemade Hand Sanitizer Spray | WHO Formula + Essential Oils

[@FormerDelusional]

The tutorial starts at 4:50. Thanks Sophie.

[@chicagorhtours]

Very helpful and I LOVE your English accent. Cheers Luv! One minor point, I saw a related video of a doctor saying that unless your using boiling water (don't do it) it doesn't matter what temperature you wash your hands, only boiling water kills germs, the soap does the rest. And he said just basic soap is as good as anti bacterial soap. Thanks again. Jaye from Chicago USA

[@marykrigbaum9021]

How do you make it gel like the store has? Great video.

Hello! Can you use fragrance oil instead of essential oil?

[@psteele4013]

Is there anything besides cinnamon that can be used? Some people are very sensitive to that scent.

[@cinnamon8889]

Can I use vitamin E instead of glycerin?

[@uslee19]

Hi, what is the make of your electric kettle? Thank you!

[@PlaybackPaige]

Seriously? Any kettle will do

[@uslee19]

I like THAT red kettle. You’re obviously not a kitchen connoisseur.

[@j.j.4335]

Thank you!!! I just ordered the ingredients! Just don't leave it in your car because alcohol could explode if it's super hot outside!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

OMG - so true! Thanks for the warning.

[@amyezell3497]

I'm going to try this recipe and going to make cinnamon and orange one!!!! with the aloe vera gel

[@sridevichiluvuri9269]

Hi When I add essential oil to this recipe I found the essential oils floating or rather separating out from the solution. can u help resolve this issue.

[@JC-KC55]

Why do you need to add water??? It dilutes it , right??

[@MariaRios-g3e]

Can we add bath and body works body spray for fragrance?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Yes!

[@lauras2348]

Hi Sophie! What's a good hand soap for the home?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I would just use any that is antibacterial. And if you can't find that, just use any soap. It's more about just washing well with and thoroughly with hot water for over 20 seconds.

[@ErikaSanchez-ok4uq]

Thanks Sophie!! Always great videos!! Can I use Aloe Vera juice instead of the gel?

if it's food grade then no

Can we use almond oil instead of vegetable glycerin?

[@aero7975]

Hi sophie i tried the linked for the alcohol but it said out of stock. So my question is what substitute can i use now since i dont have the isopropyl alcohol? Thanks

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You just need to keep searching - ugh!!!! Every time I put a new link in, it keeps selling out. But don't give up.

[@mariansweetheart]

So, oils and water don’t mix well, how can I stick them together?? Thank you for the awesome recipe 😘

[@sandrachase68]

Essential oils are not real oil

[@eustusngari3269]

Use glue

[@bettyrocker7]

Here's my question- do you have issues mixing the aloe vera with the alcohol? I'm finding that when I add Aloe, it forms a goo and doesn't mix well.

[@homoerotic85]

Hey! You have to pour aloe vera in very slowly, while mixing quickly... It's best to use an emersion blender, or regular blender just don't use a whisk...I had the same problem first time I made it! Lol I just made another batch last night doing it like I said... It came out perfect!! I had my other half pour it in while I was mixing to make sure they both got done correctly as it's sometimes hard to do both your self especially if your new to diy products. Hope that helps!

[@homoerotic85]

Also, the reason why you don't want to use whisk is because the aloe send to stick and get caught in it and that makes it goopy as well.

[@bettyrocker7]

Eric Johnson yes!! Thank you!

[@chicagorhtours]

Doesn't using this rubbing alcohol so much damage your/our skin?

[@minarose3193]

Can you make one for dogs paws for after a walk? I’ve been washing their feet before coming inside w warm soap and water in jugs

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I use warm soapy water and an old towel for my fur babies!

[@JohannaZee]

I just used the last recipe in a spray bottle although the aloe was difficult to deal with so I'm interested to see this one

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

yes - this is thinner

[@AS-lm9xm]

Can you use Witch Hazel in place of the Alcohol and still use Aloe Vera Gel to be affective? NI can’t use the alcohol and peroxide because it is too harsh on my skin.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You have to use the alcohol to make it effective.

[@christinat.7171]

Is it okay to use a plastic bottle??? Thanks.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Totally - I just didn't because it's harder to sterilize with boiling water. But it's totally fine, you sterilizing it anyways with the alcohol so you are fine.

[@christinat.7171]

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen followed your recipe. Have made several spray bottles (small to medium)for the hands. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

My pleasure!!

[@kristineb9924]

Where do you buy Aloe gel or vegetable glycerin?

[@christinat.7171]

I bought some at Walmart.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You can also find both an Amazon and in most health food stores.

[@apriljo1968]

I have a bottle of Rocky Mountain Oils Sacred Immunity Strength. It contains clove, cinnamon, lemon, orange, oregano, mandarin, thyme, rosemary, nutmeg, ginger, and frankincense. Would 30 drops of that work as well?

TOTALLY!!

[@lorraine8573]

Sophie I have the alcohol but can you tell me about the hydrogen peroxide. I have hair peroxide 6 % and 12 % would that do. What a time we are living in. Take care 😘

[@TLCooper]

Why are you using more water with the 70% alcohol than with the 90% alcohol? Shouldn't those numbers be reversed? Otherwise it's diluting the 70% more than 90%? 1/3 cup is more than 1/4 cup.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You are absolutely right - corrected in recipe in description.

[@TheCarlaparr]

is there anything that you can use instead of rubbing alcohol? i ask because here in Australia people have gone stupid and i can't find any anywhere im asking in relation to the wipes as well

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

It's also almost impossible to find in stores here too. There is nothing that works as well as alcohol, and we can't be wishy washy here because of the virus we are dealing with. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

[@TheCarlaparr]

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen its ok was just curious thank you sophie :)

[@lt_thebrand]

All I have on hand is vodka can I still use

[@Sterilite101]

Sure if you want to sanitize your organs.

[@anne8743]

I use polish grain alcohol 96% (192 proof).Much better than isopropyl alcohol for skin.

[@AS-lm9xm]

Can I leave out the vegetable glycerin and just use Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera Gel, and the Essential Oils and it still be effective?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You can use other agents to moisturize, but you cannot omit the alcohol.

[@erica7268]

Why use water at all?

[@patty-cf7jj]

I’m flying in a couple hours and have your DIY wipes with me. I wish I had the time to make this!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

you'll be fine with those wipes! Stay well

[@gattinaj4435]

That's nice but I don't have and now I can't buy half of the ingredients. Why nobody post sanitizer without aloe vera?????

[@sandrachase68]

You can use vegetable glycerin too. The only reason for the Aloe or glycerin is because the alcohol is very drying on your skin. You can omit it all together and just used location on your hands from time to time to combat the dryness.

[@sandrachase68]

Lotion

[@joni4taz]

Thank you for posting this, Sophie. Quick question...if a store has microbial wipes out for its customers, will these wipes be effective against the corona virus?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

It depends what brand it is and the ingredients that are in it.

[@joni4taz]

Sophie Uliano Thanks. That would be difficult to determine as they are placed in containers (containing no info) for the public to use. I will need to check at the customer service desk to see what they know.

[@CerberusBindeweed]

Not a good recipe as does not contain sufficient amount of alcohol and the hydrogen peroxide is not needed. Also cinnamon essential oil should be used topically only by a clinical aromatherapist as it is a potential skin irritant. Rosemary can also be an issue depending on medication a person is on, the age of the user and health condition. Eucalyptus contains 1,8 cineole which can have contraindications for children, the elderly and specific medical conditions. A Great hospital grade 70% alcohol Hand Santizer Spray would be: # 34.05 mls 100% Isoprophyl Alcohol or Ethanol #12.99 mls Distilled Water # 1.46 mls Glycerine # 1.5mls of essential oil This makes a 50ml sprayer bottle. Alternatively: # 164mls 100% Isoprophyl Alcohol or Ethanol. # 74ml Distilled Water # 4.61ml Glycerine # 3% total of an essential oils blend which is about 193 drops of essential oils or 7.5 mls essential oil. This makes a 250ml ammount

[@sandrachase68]

@@npm1421 carry bottles of water and wet soap up and rinse

[@stephrs1754]

There's some conflicting info between this and last video. Last video (wipes) says 70% alcohol is better than hand washing (soap and water). This video (spray) says 90% alcohol won't work if hands aren't washed first (soap and water). So... could people make the wipes with 90% instead of 70% alcohol instead of washing with soap and water, and have the best of both worlds?

[@DeeDee-rr3sn]

What was the purpose of the hydrogen peroxide

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

in can inactivate bacterial spores in the product. Just an extra precaution.

[@CynDWatson]

@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen My podiatrist has warned us against using hydrogen peroxide on the skin. He told us this prior to the Coronavirus. Please see the link on Healthline. I love your recipes but I’m eliminating that one ingredient. Please check out the info then decide if you need to update the recipe. www.healthline.com/health/hydrogen-peroxide-skin#1

[@ZeroThree33]

@@CynDWatson You should not use Hydrogen Peroxide on your skin to wash hands or clean them - especially to protect from covid. The amount used within the W.H.O. recipe is insignificantly small and only intended to sterilize the sanitizer you made within the bottle before you start using it. It's not intended to protect from covid. It's considered an inactive ingredient. Technically, you should not use the homemade hand sanitizer for at least 72 hours after bottling to allow the tiny amount of peroxide time to kill any possible contaminants. Be warned that leaving this ingredient out of the mix could impact its efficacy. Also the resulting alcohol content is based on including the peroxide - so leaving it out would alter this result. You would have to change the entire recipes ratio to compensate for leaving it out.

[@lemons12ful]

Thanks Sophie~Curious if witch hazel would work instead of the 70% rubbing alcohol.Thanks.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

no, it won't.

[@rebawilks105]

I love your sanitizing spray, but I'm a little confused. In your video you said to dilute the 90% alcohol with 1/4 cup of water and the 70% with 1/3 of a cup, but you also said to dilute the 90% with more water. Since the 90% has a higher alcohol content shouldn't it be diluted more? I want to make sure I'm getting the measurements correct.

[@fj9306]

Reba Wilks I was wondering about that as well 😊

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I am so sorry for the confusion. I have corrected it in the actual recipe in the description!

[@rebawilks105]

Thank you Sophie!

[@ineswyatt7245]

Do you need the 1 tbsp hydrogen peroxide?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

If you can't find it, it's not 100% necessary, but it is the recipe following the guidelines of the World Health Organization.

[@twinsyA]

Peroxide is just to prevent mold from forming in your solution. It does not factor in disinfecting.

[@myfivestarrealty]

Use grain alcohol/everclear. Best stuff.😘🙏

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Yes - I have heard that EverClear vodka is a decent alternative if you cannot find rubbing alcohol.

I believe you had good intentions when you posted this video. But this recipe is dangerous! Why do you insist on giving advice on something you are not an expert? First you got the fractions wrong. And even after you fixed that, the recipe with 70% alcohol is still not enough to kill the virus. Please, if you care about you audience, remove this video from KZbin. Your carelessness could be costing people their lives.
