Vegetable glycerine will moisturize your skin though the sanitizer is dried the moment you use it.
How To Make A Sanitizer At Home?
To make a sanitizer, take a spray bottle if you have and pour 50ml of rubbing alcohol first into it. Then take half tablespoon of cloves or six cloves and smash it well and add the smashed cloves into the spray bottle. Further, add 8 drops of neem oil with 4 to 5 drops of observer serum which is a sweet almond in winter serum.
The observer serum is used to cover the smell bitter smell of neem oil which is not liked by many people. And finally, add one teaspoon of vegetable glycerine and close the lid of the bottle. Now shake the solution and mix everything very thoroughly. Now leave the solution overnight. Leaving the ingredients overnight will help the ingredients to settle well and will become an effective alcohol tincture. So the longer you keep the solution, the more effective it will be.
Then strain the solution before it’s ready to be used, otherwise, the spray misters will be clogged up due to the added solid ingredients. Finally, strain out all of the flow to have your disinfectant sanitizer at your home.
