these products yourself, you can just buy them and get them delivered. Yes, as you may have guessed, I am as tight as a otters bum. When I buy doTERRA On Guard and make the sanitizer myself, it is cheaper and I can use the oil for other uses such as cleaning. Why is the On Guard blend important to this recipe? I know I have already mentioned it but I love On Guard. I use it in my morning smoothie, I diffuse it to detox the bathroom and use their cleaning products to clean my home. The reason why the doTERRA On Guard sanitizing mist recipe is using On Guard is because it offers the user everything they need for sanitizing themselves and their hands.

Why is therapeutic grade oil used to make essential oil hand sanitizer? BY STEVEN JACKSON Therapeutic grade essential oil is the best and highest quality oil available online and so it is not strange that we would want it in our hand sanitizer. What are therapeutic grade essential oils? Therapeutic grade essential oils refers to an oil that has been distilled from the highest quality plants. This will keep the benefits and medical qualities of the plant in the oil. So, whatever therapeutic value the plant, the distilling process should maintain it in the oil. Hence, then the quality will be therapeutic grade. Companies such as doTERRA use a quality protocol to ensure the best quality and purest oils. The testing includes eight steps to guarantee the essential oil batch is pure, unadulterated, and safe for use. Here are the tests used to ensure essential oil purity: Organoleptic testing Microbial testing Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) Chirality testing Isotopic analysis Heavy metal testing This means that when you are making your own sanitizing spray you are getting a toxic free and people friendly product. So, let me warn you now, the cheap essential oils in your local health shop are not good enough. We recommend you only use therapeutic grade essential oils when making a DIY hand sanitizer lotion.
