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.

PROCESS
OPTIONAL: infuse the herbs into the alcohol for ~30 minutes, then strain out the solid matter.
