With chaos knocking on our doors, many stores across the country are out of hand sanitizers and hand soap. This is the perfect time to learn how to make your own DIY hand sanitizer, using some of the antibacterial essential oils. 
Not to mention, the chemicals in most hand sanitizers are full of toxic chemicals that do NOT help your body…
Antibacterial commercial products can kill ALL bacteria including GOOD bacteria needed for healthy skin and a properly functioning immune system. In fact, studies have shown them to weaken your immune system!
Here are a few solutions to create a healthy hand sanitizer which I recommend. Add 2 drops of 1st AID "TNT" to a small amount of coconut oil (or Body Butter Geranium Heaven Scent) and apply it on your hands.
The main active ingredient of our 1st AID "TNT" is bee propolis -nature's antiseptic marvel! Propolis is a resin produced by honeybees that they use to coat the inner lining of the hive to protect it from bacterial invasion and keep it germ-free.
Propolis contains flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenes, and other compounds from plants that have super-potent antiseptic properties which fight inflammation and viruses contributing to healthy skin. Along with bee propolis, the formula of 1st AID "TNT" includes an immune-boosting blend of essential oils, which have been proven to kill viruses: clove bud, tea tree, and frankincense oils.
You can also make your own DIY hand sanitizer. It is simple, but it will also save you lots of money and can be more important than you think!
