Make your own Hand Sanitizer

When I became a mother I wanted to do the right thing. I would sanitize my hands every nappy change, after going to the bathroom, petting the family dog. I was obsessed. 

I have just one word “Triclosan” Look it up and see how scary it is!
Little did I know all the nasties involved!

Almost every hand sanitizer has it in it. It’s also called be different names.

• Alternative names quick Irgasan DP-300, Lexol 300, Ster-Zac, Cloxifenolum. It also has a close cousin called triclocarban. ...

• Triclosan is restricted or banned in many countries, including the EU, but is not by the FDA.

• For more information, check out these sources: U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 

Web MD.

No one said you have to go without. Just make one without the nasties.
