msalex28a Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Anyone try recipes that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I forget the percentage of alcohol needed, but I want to say it is around 63%. I used to use a hand sanitizer recipe that was 50/50 and was able to test it and not grow anything. (being a lab tech has its benefits...) I would not recommend going 50/50 alcohol/aloe though. With MRSA and other stronger bacteria out there, better safe than sorry! So I would go with 63% everclear (or hundred proof vodka) and 37% aloe vera gel. (To that you can add a few drops of fragrance) Honestly, it is probably cheaper and safer to just buy it in a store though, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Assuming 63% is the magic number, you will need to use a bit more everclear since that is only 95% alcohol itself.So you would need 0.63/0.95 = 66.32% everclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grama Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Never tried hand-made but ordered some from Bittercreek that I really like. Your hands feel good after using it, not dry like some store bought. I just wish I could find it somewhere I buy my supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulm8socal Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 check out snowdrift farm, they have a recipe I use all and it gets great reviews. http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/form_handsan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 If I'm not mistaken, it is now illegal to sell product with Everclear or vodka in it. I would recommend purchasing the base from a place like Bittercreek because it has been tested to be mixed with a certain percentage of fragrance oils to ensure it remains safe. I've been selling it for a few years now and it is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Buy it in bulk from WM or DT and add some scent and repacckage...much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
