Next, the perfect complement to the recipe is happy, and uplifting cold-pressed orange essential oil, cheerfully contributing its own antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic, anti-fungal and immune-supporting superpowers.

Peppermint essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the peppermint plant and adds antiseptic strength to the homemade hand sanitizer. The antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties of tea tree essential oil contribute as well.
