DIY Thieves Hand Soap & Thieves Hand Sanitizer

Back with another easy DIY today!


Thieves hand soap & Thieves hand sanitizer! Thieves is a staple oil for me. Not only does it smell amazing but its a powerhouse! Its a very popular blend Young Living has that comes in the Premium Starter kit. That's how I got hooked on it. Thieves is a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata & Rosemary Cineol. The highly antiviral & antiseptic properties of the single oils contained in this blend help protect the body from the onset of flu & colds. It can also help with bronchitis, coughs, strep, sore throats, teething, cold sores, infection & cuts. Just to name a few. So naturally it just makes sense to use this oil when washing your hands or wanting to get rid of public germs with a hand sanitizer.


Before we get to instructions on making them lets talk cost. For the hand soap I used Pure Castile soap, there are many variations but I get the Gentle formula. I found it at Meijer for $11.99 for 32 ounces. I used 3 tbsp. equaling a whopping 55 cents. I got my vegetable glycerin at the local health food store for $5.99 for 4 ounces. I used 1/2 tsp equaling 13 cents. I used 5 drops of Thieves essential oil which is 15 cents per drop equaling 75 cents. The rest was water. So to make this soap I spent $1.43. WHAT! Of course, what makes this even better is its completely natural & chemical free. I got my foaming soap dispenser from www.discoverlsp.com But you can also reuse the foaming hand soap containers from Bath & Body Works or other brands. Now, lets talk hand sanitizer. I used 5 tbsp. of Aloe Vera gel, math is subject to change here since I used a 3 ounce tube the cost is going to appear higher. Cost for 5 tbsp.  is $1.65. I have a 16 oz container of Grapeseed oil costing around $8.00 I used 1/4 tsp of the Grapeseed oil costing 2 cents. I used 8 drops of Thieves oil totaling $1.20 & 4 tbsp. water = free! Total spent to make a 3 ounce container of Thieves hand sanitizer is $2.87. Oils for the win!
