Zero Waste Hand Sanitizer

In need of some zero waste hand sanitizer? With panic ensuing over the coronavirus this March, I don't blame you. Unfortunately, finding hand sanitizer may be one of the hardest things to do right now. Thankfully, you can always make your own. However, I will say that hand sanitizer is NOT a replacement for good old soap and water - so make sure you're washing your hands! Hand sanitizer is a great thing to use in a pinch though, when you can't directly access a sink.
