How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitiser

How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitiser

50ml of hand sanitiser should set you back between £0.42 and £0.75 but since the Coronavirus scare, we’ve seen the same sell for over £7 and whilst soap and hot water is always the best option, those that require an ‘on the go’ option may be out of luck until stock returns, so this mini-guide on how to make your own should help reduce the risk of you being ripped off now and in the future.

Using this solution will mean you pay roughly 81p per 50ml (if you use existing containers and no essential oils).

Is it really good enough?

“Homemade hand sanitisers are just as effective as what you buy as long as you use the right percentage of alcohol,”

“This is a good way to get around people price-gouging.”

Dr David Agus told CBS News.

Can you not just buy it directly from supermarkets etc for less?

Normally yes but when we checked most were out of stock (8th March 2020)

What do I need?

  1. Buy some Aloe Vera Gel (or buy an Aloe plant) 200ml for £5.57
  2. Buy some Rubbing Alcohol (500ml should be about £5) ensure it’s at least 60% alcohol – Or if you’re really desperate
  3. Ues an old plastic hand pump/bottle or buy one
  4. A mixing bowl
  5. A large spoon
  6. Optional: Some essential oils

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
