I’ve got 70% rubbing alcohol but no aloe Vera.....

And I refuse to buy aloe Vera gel at about £10 for 200ml.

Can I just decant my liquid into a spray bottle and use it without aloe gel?

If I do I’ll obviously have to use tonnes of hand cream but am I safe to spray the alcohol directly onto my hands?

Sorry, that was for soap, but it's similar to alcohol regarding the lipid membrane.

Just wash your hands. Much more effective then fucking about making hand sanitizer

That's not very helpful. We all know we must wash our hands, and I do whenever possible, but if you're on the tube, or travelling, or in the supermarket handling the trolley, then sanitiser is the next best thing.

Ive made some if this. Unfortunately the Aloe Vera Gel and the rubbing alcohol don't mix and the gel sinks to the bottom.
