With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time to bust out the decorations, pick the perfect costume and stock up on all the candy. But with so many tiny witches and superheroes and zombies roaming the streets in search of treats (or tricks), it’s important to protect yourself and your family from something truly spooky: germs. No one wants to miss out on all the Halloween fun because of pesky cold. Enter Zombie Blood! This fan-favorite blend is back again. It combines Orange Blood, Frankincense Carteri, Lavandin, Grapefruit Pink, Lemon Steam Distilled, Juniper Berry, and Marjoram Sweet for a festive, uplifting and immune-boosting potion. It’s the perfect choice to create your own KidSafe hand sanitizer. Just combine Zombie Blood (or Defender) with our Aloe Jelly and alcohol for an easy, on-the-go germ-fighting potion.
Zombie Blood Hand Cleanser
What you’ll need:
- 1/3 cup 190 proof Everclear/ethanol or 99% isopropyl alcohol
- 1/8 cup Aloe Vera Jelly
- 43 drops Zombie Blood or Defender
*This recipe has been updated to include alcohol for maximum effectiveness.
What you’ll do:
Measure out Everclear/ethanol and Aloe Vera Jelly into different containers. Mix the essential oils in the ethanol and then slowly add in the Aloe Vera Jelly while mixing with an immersion blender or hand mixer. Once blended, pour into your container and use as needed.
*Note: Although these ingredients are known to be effective at helping prevent and eliminate germs, this DIY is not a substitute for regular, proper handwashing.
