With the homemade sanitizer, the risk is significantly reduced.
Furthermore, there are more advantages:

- The one prepared at home is free of any preservative because it is made from natural elements.
- You can choose the consistency of the gel yourself by putting more or less aloe vera in addition to the aroma when selecting the essential oil.

You will only have to apply a small amount and rub both hands well until it has been completely absorbed. You can share your disinfectant gel, but make sure that the nozzle of the dosing container does not touch your hands, since there is an unnecessary risk of contagion.
