I love the way you emphasized on the safety measures. Thanks very for sharing this formulation.

Thanks, Belinda. I really appreciate you taking the cautious approach for people, and including appropriate warnings re. essential oils.

I'm from PAKISTAN your video 👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍 is very helpful thanks

Thanks a lot, I was searching for several months, finally I had found the right video, thanks a lot for your great video and formula. Its help right way to get my gel

Im so grateful for this. Thank you.. Simple ingredients

Hello, Mme Thank you for your Videos. they are very educative. What is the white product mixed with the glycerine? I didn't get the name well.

Excellent video! Thx very much. However, I'm having trouble completing the final phase, i.e. adding the Iso alcohol (IA) to the gel (water, glycerin & xanthan gum mix) - the gel always fell apart even though I was adding the IA slowly while stirring... Could you pls confirm that to make a final product of 100 ml, how much time it would take to stir the IA into the the intermediate gel mixture? Once I know the time, I could then adjust the incremental amount of IA for each addition, etc. Thx.

What if it's steam distilled grapefruit E.O? My supplier says it isn't phototoxic unlike the expressed one. Thank you for the free content, you are awesome.

I didnt come for the sanitizer i came to see her because shes gorgeous

Love your work , pls is it the same xanthan gum used in baking?

Not sure if anyone has asked but is it possible to add some aloe powder to this or would that harm the stability of the gel?

Can i replace gelatin powder for Xanthan gum?

Nice helpful video with adoring way of telling

Hi Belinda, can we use Aloe vera juice in place of water??

I have 95% ethanol (190 proof Everclear) which I've successfully used with glycerin and alcohol free witch hazel to create a spray sanitizer that ends up having a 63.3% alcohol content (last I checked CDC recommended a formula that has either a minimum of 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol to be effective). I want to attempt adding xanthan gum to that formula to create a gel similar to commercial sanitizer. I ordered 2 oz of clear xanthan gum which doesn't look clear to me, but I digress. I know it's better to combine the x gum with the glycerin first but can I pulse the mix in a blender to create a gel consistency that is equivalent to the commercial sanitizer? Can anyone tell me if I have to use water or can I use alcohol free witch hazel in place of the water? And for example, for a 3 oz container using the 2:1 ratio with 2 oz of the 95% ethanol to the 1 oz of the glycerin and witch hazel solution (I want to test a small amount first so I don't end up wasting a large amount of ingredients obviously), how much xanthan gum would I use to get the desired consistency? I have no issue sticking with my liquid spray formula (I make small batches and give them away to people that have none, not trying to make product on a commercial scale to sell and profit off a health crisis like some folks are doing on Etsy), I'm just curious to see if I can actually make a gel product that is not sticky yet moisturizes like my liquid formula. I know nothing about chemistry but I enjoy experimenting. Can anyone help me? I don't have a scale I just measure my ingredients using ounces.

I have the formula and I still don’t know the amounts to use! Can we have the amounts in ounces and not in percentage?

Hi Belinda, I am getting which says Absolute Ethanol 99.99%. However, there is no mention of Denatured or Undenatured. What should I take it as?? Please help

Hi there I noticed the formula is % w/w. Would the liquids in this formula equate to volume?

Can I use glycol propylene instead of glycerin to dissolve xanthan gum?

Thank you so much for this great video and the amazing pdf file. I have had the alcohol, and all the recipes online say to use aloe gel or glycerin... which of course does not make a gel but rather a spray sanitizer which is fine and all but not easy to carry around like gel.

Can we use 70% ethanol in this formula?

BTW thank you so much for your helpful info on how to create effective hand sanitizers.

Thank you so much .... this video help me to teach my children in Vocational High School St. Paul

Nice that you make videos. But what is the ratio to make a mix ?. Also you state water is that normal water or distilled water. A list of ingredients would also be nice . Follow others they go threw it step by step and the amount. Pls

I can't get those things anywhere so I guess I will have to do without having hand sanitizer or spray, because redy made is not available anywhere anywhere!

Pls what is that powder u added?

Thank you so much for this very explicit video 🙏 May I ask if it is possible to make bigger batches of this formula ...or can we even make it industrial ?

Thanks, I would like to have the formulas? Pls

How can we make this hand hospital grade sanitizer gel ? Will isopropyl alcohol make the hand sanitizer gel hospital graded?

Im chemistry major molecular science and i wqs thought that isopropyl could not reach 100 at its purist form. No i will say that isopropyl 91 can be used to make a hand sanitizer and so can a grain/ethyl alcohol of 90% the chemistry is different for both tho but are very easy. U do not need 100% to make an effective hand rub

Thanks for your teaching. Please what is the difference between Ethyl alcohol, Ethanol and isopropyl alcohol?

I did everything like you said but I couldn’t get it to become a gel!

Hello madam I want carbomer base sanitizer gel 100ml Carbomer 0.5 g Aloevera artificial jel 15ml Hydragen peroxide 5ml Tea few drops Perfume Alchohol 60ml Water 50ml Glycerin 5ml I need original consentrate

I’m stuck in a lockdown here in India and it would be impossible for me to find Xanthan gum at this stage. I do have Guar gum lying at home, can that be used instead?

Thank you very much!

Using Ethanol or Isopropyl is listed under Dangerous Goods. Highly Flamable. Flashpoint 17°C and 19°C. This needs to be on the Label. Cannot be transported by air. You have to have MSDS sheets and contents for Fire Dept when involved in an accident for them to know what to use to clean up spillage. Take precautions of your Provincial/ Municiple regulations concerning HazChem rules. Store in airconditioned facility.

Great video, absolutely love the accent! Can you use gelatin instead of the xanthan gum?

Great video! Does this have no expiry? How long can we use the solution?

Can i use any glycerite instead of glycerin ?

I know you said 100% alcohol or isopropyl my state don't allow 100% alcohol and I have 91% isopropyl can it work?

Please what is the name of the powder you added to the glycerin..?

Since alcohol evaporates quickly, would exposing it to air, then swirling it around accelerate the evaporation? Would the finished product still be 70%? I fear that everyone doing this at home will end up with a nice smelling bottle of 40% hand lotion and not having an effective product. What is the alcohol level for a mixture to still be flammable? Commercial hand sanitizers are still flammable out of the bottle. Not very scientific, but maybe a good litmus test for alcohol content.

Nice video, plzz tell me xanthan gum can give bad smell for long term then how to preserve it ??

Thanks a lot for given good idea

Great video..👍

Thank you for very useful videos. I do wish you had shown sanitizer made with Alo Vera gel. This gel is widely available in beauty shops, and is a low cost item. Experimenting with it, it does not seem to dissolve (become uniform ) in the 90% ISP that I tried. Is there a trick to dissolving Alo gel in alcohol?

Hi Belinda, when making the formula, for the percentages are we talking weight or volume? Thanks

Can we add aloe Vera gel? If so at which stage?

Can cornstarch be used as the thickener, its it's made from the same grain as the alcohol

Hi i need to make this so i can be safe

This video is great, thank you Ms. Belinda. I just made a DIY Hand Sanitizer which I intended to a gel form. I refer to the formula from WHO and add some food grade Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a gel agent, but I still get a liquid product form and it is uncomfortable when used on hand. There is a stickiness after several hours of use until I wash my hands. Is the xanthan gum that you use in this formula comfortable for hand? Is there any different results of product between this 'make at home' and 'hospital grade' (from another video)? *sorry for my bad english, i used Google translate to help me. I appreciate your help, thank you

Any chance you can provide amounts of each product to make up the sanitiser? The formula sheet does not give amounts, and no mention of water?

I'm a little bit confused, I don't know which one to try, this one or the hospital grade. Or should I just try both? Thank you for this wonderful video.

Thanks for sharing

how much i should put xanthan gum for 100 ml sanitizer?

Is it possible to add more xanthan gum to slightly increase viscosity?

Xanthan gum make stickiness. How this stickiness can be removed?. Experts please give the solution.

What other fragrance oils can you use.

Hey can I add cosmetic mica powder and fragrance oil to this receipe?

i want to make the hospital grade version with the Sepimax but in that video there were no measurements or ratios. Can you tell me what the alcohol/water/sepimax ratio would be?

Hi Belinda, Can you formulate benzalkonium chloride based alcohol free sanitizer?

whats the measurements for each ingredient used? I looked that the formula on your website but couldn't see how the measurements

Hello, I've tried this, and I found that my gel is not clear. Is it because my xanthan gum too much or I'm not mixing well? And I also want to ask, when I'm mixing, will any of the alcohol evaporate and the concentration become lower? I love your tutorial so much, thank you!

What is the local regulations for the exact formulation of a therapeutic (vs cosmetic) hand sanitizer , because what you suggested may be an excellent and well developed mix (stable) but I don't think it's what WHO states as being their verison of an acceptable hand sanitizer.

please let us know the quantity to use

Can you use witch hazel?

Hi, thanks for the informative videos, at last, something I feel I can trust! I've been having trouble with an alloe vera gel and 99.9% isopropyl sanitiser, the gel separates and turns into a white rubbery solid whatever I do! I was wondering if you could see any reason why 20% (Johnsons) Baby Lotion and 80% isopropinol would not be ok, it mixes easily (water based moisturiser?) and feels okay on hands. Obviously it is a liquid not a gel but in a spay bottle as a dispenser it's fairly practical. Thanks in advance...

Hi Belinda, much thanks for the informative video. I'm trying to make it for personal use, but for some reason finding 100% IPA or ethanol around me is very hard (probably because I live in a small-ish town). 96% alcohol is (somewhat) widely available, however. Can I use that instead of the 100%? If so, is there anything in the formula that needs to be adjusted? I'm trying to make the DIY sanitizing spray and hand gel. I can get the glycerine and xanthan gum easily. Thanks again.

Is this safe enough to use on a baby or toddler?

Can I use aloe Vera gel instead of glycerin?

Can add hydrogen peroxide for this formula? Can i also replace the xanthan gum with guar gum?

Is there any alternative to alcohol .?

Great video. Will I be able to use liquid coconut derived glycerin if so What would the measurements be?

Finding 100% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol is impossible now even from cosmetic making sites. I'll have to get back to real basics and use good old soap (if I can find it) or add a surfactant to castile soap.?

I love the work super , but I didn't get the powdered material you added to the glycerine

Hello. I cannot source 100% athanol. 70% is what's available in the local market. Will it work with this formula?

How can I also register fr into ur institute online pls

Hello, is there a reason why you poured the gel into the water rather than pour the water into the gel? Thank you.

Lavandin essential oil has also skin healing properties as well as having antibacterial properties.

Hi you didn't mention how much xanthan gum is need and how many ml of each thing....em unable to make senitizer without measurement plz mention measurement

Just wondering, is it alcohol 70 percent by volume or 70 percent by weight that considered hospital-grade hand sanitizer?

I only have 70% isopropyl, what measurements would I use for that?

I am curious, I have Isocol which reading ingredient label seems to be 64% and rest being water and fragrance - will this still be effective?

Yeh powder konsa hai

Thanks for sharing. I've an issue. I can't get glycerine. What can be used instead?

I can only find 70% isopropyl alcohol how can I make it using that and it still be effective

This is great. How do I get the formula and how can I make the gel to be clearer? Thank

I truly enjoy your videos, Melinda. By any chance, Does your Institute provide classes for the nutraceutical and/or dietary industries? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge it's very much appreciated.

Could you possibly post metric measurements? Like tsp. Cup..? I know you're going by the percentage and weight. I have no tools for %.

Thank,s Allot

What do you do when isopropyl alcohol is sold out

You didn't give the amounts you used. Just said use this & this & mix this. Need proper amounts of ingredients.
