Simple Non Toxic DIY Hand Sanitizer

🌸 Today is all about bringing it back to basics!

We all LOVE toxic free right? This simple hand spray comes with us on the road to use when we need to… after pumping petrol, shopping trolleys!!! 😱 before we eat….

It’s so easy, so cheap and affordable, and it smells AMAZING.

💧 Why we skip the commercial gels

So many of the commercial hand gels are full of synthetic fragrances and harsh ingredients that leave your hands dry and cracked. We’d rather know exactly what we’re putting on our skin!

🍊 Why On Guard?

On Guard Blend is a mixture of Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary, oils that have long been used for their cleansing, protective properties. Plus it smells like spicy Christmas cake! 🎄

🌿 Natural products for immunity

We think of immunity as a whole lifestyle, not just one product:
– On Guard for cleansing hands and surfaces and for diffusing around the home
– Plenty of sleep, water and colourful whole foods
– Gut love, because so much of your immune system lives in your gut
– Superfoods like camu camu (vitamin C), pepitas (zinc) and medicinal mushrooms

👩‍🔬 Two versions to make, step by step

The everyday hand refresher (what we carry in the car):
1. Grab a small 30ml spray bottle, ideally glass.
2. Add 10 drops of On Guard Blend.
3. Top up with water.
4. Shake well before EVERY use, as oil and water separate.

The stronger sanitiser version (for when it really counts):
1. Into a 60ml spray or pump bottle, add 2 parts 99% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to 1 part aloe vera gel. This keeps the finished mix above the 60% alcohol needed to actually sanitise.
2. Add 10 to 15 drops of On Guard Blend.
3. Shake well and label it.

⭐️ Our tips

– Nothing beats washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds when you can. These sprays are for when you’re out and about.
– Keep alcohol-based versions away from little ones, eyes and open flames.
– Add a drop of Lavender if your hands are feeling dry.
