Since we are on the topic of diy... I have some aloe vera gel and 70% rubbing alcohol. I thought about combining to make hand sanitizer but I don’t know the ratio should be. Or would combining dilute the alcohol too much?

Aloe is way down the ingredient list.

How about just pouring alcohol on your hands and using aloe when you wish.

1/2 cup of alcohol, 1/3 cup of aloe gel.

“I have some aloe vera gel and 70% rubbing alcohol. I thought about combining to make hand sanitizer...”

A month ago I read where the percentage needs to be at least 60% or more. And it loses some of the alcohol if it is old. I have two old bottles that I added straight 99% rubbing alcohol to in order to bring it’s strength. But no - don’t dilute the 70% hand sanitizer.
