This Homemade Antibacterial Spray for Skin is perfect to keep on hand for scraped knees and minor burns. It can also double up as a hand sanitizer.
Having kids – especially boys – inevitably means skinned knees, scrapes and burns.
As a Mom, there is nothing worse than when your kids get hurt. I love how my boys always come to “Dr. Mom” knowing that I will have a natural solution to help them feel better.
A while back, I posted this Owie Spray, which I love and always have on hand. I also really like this DIY Antiseptic Skin Spray recipe. I especially like it when I am concerned about infection.
If you can’t find grain alcohol, Witch Hazel would be a good substitute.
The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I’ve fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!
Read my full Plant Therapy Review for why they are my go-to company.
