I read where heating olive oil brings out certain chemicals…can I replace the olive oil with shea butter?

You can, although keep in mind that rubbing alcohol can be very irritating to the skin. Plus, depending on what you get, the rubbing alcohol may contain up to 30% water. As an alternative, consider making a hand sanitizer with aloe gel or make a salve version (which I like to do) by adding the blend to a base salve or even to Miracle Healing Salve.

As a hand sanitizer, can you use the protective blend with rubbing alcohol instead of witch hazel? I read where witch hazel has a tiny bit if carcinogen in it so if I can use regular alcohol, that would be great.

Thank you so much, Gaye, for this recipe, which I have written down in my notebook of essential oil and natural recipes (including your healing salve recipe!) and will make asap. I really miss you on Backdoor Survival, it just isn’t the same without you! I have been a long-time user of Spark Naturals, even belong to their oil of the month club, so I already have all of these oils. They have a fantastic product and fantastic customer service. I can call them and Ember will pick up and answer my questions and make suggestions quickly and take care of my orders quickly.
