Witchy Recipe: Hand Sanitizer

Last summer I also made my own hand sanitizer, and frankly I can’t believe I hadn’t been doing this from the beginning! It’s so much better! Not only does it smell delightful, but it leaves my hands feeling nice and moisturized! ✨🧼💖 This was super fun, and of course I will be doing this forever now. And I was delighted to get to use some of my Witch’s Magical Herbs from The Mystical Crow and my favorite essential oil blend from Witch Casket!

  • 💧 91% isopropyl alcohol for germ-banishing

  • 🌿 Fresh aloe from my garden

  • 🍃 Angelica for protection & healing

  • 🌼 Yarrow for good health

  • 🌹 Rose petals for nice fragrance & pretty color

  • 💎 Amethyst for clearing negative energy

  • 💎 Clear quartz for amplifying the cleansing vibes

  • 💧Essential oil blend of patchouli, orange, and cinnamon

Friends, I’ve been using this hand sanitizer every single day for 7 months now (and I haven’t run out yet) and I love it! My hands feel SO moisturized afterward and they smell GREAT! I thought I’d share the full recipe for you here, and to be frank, I definitely adapted this from a recipe I found in an online search so it’s a common blend + magick.
