re: aloe
the recipe I’ve posted before down and dirty is 1 cup 91% alcohol to 1/3 cup water. 70% alcohol already has 30% water in it. CDC recommends 70-91%. If you have 70%, you’re good.
So... you’ve got your alcohol and your bottled water to dilute if needed, and now you need a gel to thicken. Aloe can’t be found or is too expensive. Well, let’s think outside the box.
What you need is a carbomer gel. The exact same thickener in Aloe gel, usually listed as the third or fourth ingredient.
So....how about this $2.98/16oz item?

(this one I haven’t tried but it’s twice as much for the same price, $2.94)
