One of the major preventive measure of the the ravaging virus is WASHING OUR HANDS FREQUENTLY,and yeah the trader will surely want to profit from this by hiking the price of hand Sanitizer.
Why can't you try to make your own Hand Sanitizer?
Even you can turn this into a thriving business.

How It Works

The active ingredient in this hand sanitizer recipe is the alcohol, which needs to comprise at least 60% of the product in order to be an effective disinfectant. The recipe calls for 99% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or ethanol (grain alcohol, most commonly available at 90%-95%). Please don't use any other types of alcohol (e.g., methanol, butanol), as they are toxic. Also, if you use a product that contains a lower percentage of alcohol (e.g., 70% alcohol) then you need to increase the amount of alcohol in the recipe or it won't be as effective.

Essential Oils in Hand Sanitizer

In addition to adding fragrance to your hand sanitizer, the essential oil you choose may also help protect you against germs. For example, thyme and clove oil have antimicrobial properties. If you are using antimicrobial oils, only use a drop or two, since these oils tend to be very powerful and might irritate your skin. Other oils, such as lavender or chamomile, may help soothe your skin.

A Letter From Chemistry

By: Onireti Esther Dear Human,  I feel really shy writing to you,  My heart is hard like diamond and my hope of finding true love is darker than graphite, but now, my heart longs for you; I can't stop myself from looking for new methods to please you. But the sad part is; even when I involve myself in everything you love so as to get noticed by you you don't always notice me, you always perform chemical reactions without thinking about me. Do you hate to see my face? or have I become a norm to you? I am always there when you breathe, when you eat, when you lie to sleep, but you don't seem to know. You prefer Maths and Logic to me, you think they are more smarter than I am.  If only you knew, that Maths secretly comes to me for help, and Logic would never exist without me. I see how you look at Biology, you feel she is more beautiful, have you forgotten that I am her foundation? Isn't the rusting of iron, the slacking of lime, and the fermentation of substances chemical

Her Name Is Chemistry

By:Iyanuoluwa Esther Onireti  It hurts to see her glowing eyes only through a glass,  deep in my heart I wish I could hold them with my hands. When the breeze brings her kisses to my lips, I wish I could feel them forever. Her presence is felt even in my sleep,  she consumes my body with her love. A little reaction like neutralization surprises me like magic, she gladdens my heart even when she reacts harshly. I can not hold my eyes from admiring her beauty, I find myself fantasising about her diamond skin.  Her shape is complex sometimes, but it is always gorgeous. She forms aromatic compounds to make me love her even more. When my demand for food increases, she provides urea, calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and superphosphate, to meet my demands. She preserves my food with her gentle hands, and form insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, just to make me happy. Her perfume softens my heart, and her body is pillow to my head. She clothes me and c

A Journey With Oxygen- Onireti Esther

I  , hydrogen journey to the atmosphere with oxygen today.  I live on the surface of the earth, but I have family members who live in the sun, the stars and even Jupiter. Oxygen and I make ourselves gaseous for this journey. We are affected by temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation, and though all of these try to break us, we stand stronger and transform better into a combined gaseous state.  From the oceans we journey,  from the soil we journey, from the snow and even the ice we journey, day and night, we journey. Though I can travel with nitrogen, halogens, and yes carbon! oxygen is my favorite companion.  With oxygen I exist abundantly. Oh my readers, don't get lost, I and oxygen journey to form rain. Our journey brings you that scent of fresh storm, and our delicious feel dripping down your skin makes you want to stretch your arms to the sky happily Chem-preneur We come down from the sky soft as we do not contain salts, minerals, and we haven't been treated w
