Tips:
- Make sure to shake gently before each use. With the natural preservative the sanitizer should last a few months.
- The use of lavender balances out the strong scent of the tea tree oil. Alternatives for the lavender are rosemary, sage, sandalwood, or peppermint. Each of these essential oils have there own unique scent, yet still offer the antibacterial component of the lavender.
- Essential oils are heavily concentrated plant extracts. If you aren’t familiar with them, it’s best to do a patch test for possible allergic reactions (just mix a drop with 1 tbsp of olive oil and rub on your elbow).
