    The small sanitizers are now 5 for $8 so 5 oz for 8 bucks but I got a huge 32 oz bottle of sanitizer for $5! So I am going to take the small b&bw containers and refill them. Thanks for this video!! 😊

      And that's exactly what I just did lol. Office Max had a huge sale on the gallon jugs of hand sanitizer for like $3. It took some doing to pop the top off and it went flying across the room, but I got it!

    I worked in a microbiology lab, and you don't want to get below 70% alcohol in the final mix. So I wouldn't add a significant amount of water-based fragrance. But now I can refill the Bath and Bodyworks Pocketbac that has a jelly holder. Thanks!

    I recently switched to smaller handbags. I found that my travel size sanitizer was still too big so I bought a mini Bath & Body Works and I love the size. I have been wondering about how to refill it with my big refill ones. Thank you so much ☺️ I knew someone had figured it out. Great extra tips too. ❤ I found my B&BW one at the outlet and it was $1.95 😮 for a mini.

  • @Tree-House69

    They should just make a long-use refillable container in the pocketbac shape and sell refill bottles. I adore the sanitizer they sell, but I can't really keep getting new pocketbacs in any way that isn't wasteful and unsustainable, hunks of plastic I'm forced to throw away every time? No thanks.

    • @jayannrosepecundo
      @jayannrosepecundo 8 дней назад

      Marketing wise I don't think so... People could be cheap and just refill them with any sanitizer -- and they might want to avoid doing that because you have a diff sanitizer on a bbw bottle. If anything happens like skin irritation etc, the blame is going to be on bbw because of the packaging.

    Hmm😘😘does anyone know the safety or integrity of the sanitizer after this LoL
    I'm no biochemist but seems there's some science happening here...
    they have to be CDC guidelines not hating, just trying to be safe...
    cuz I did this back when the closure started cuz I couldn't find Cactus blossom and I'm addicted 😅
    it was watery and I wasn't sure what chemical changes took place LoL

    • @CarlaCandlesBeauty
      @CarlaCandlesBeauty  4 года назад +6

      The fine fragrance mist are mostly alcohol and fragrance so you should be fine. Also, the hand sanitizer needs some time to cure the fragrance in it so at first it will smell like alcohol but about a few days later, the fragrance will become more prominent. As far as the watery bit goes, add a bit more gel or hand sanitizer to it to help the consistency, but it should not affect the anti-bacterial effects since the fine fragrance mists are hermetically sealed and cannot be unscrewed open.

    • @RHSVanguard2010
      @RHSVanguard2010 Месяц назад

      Commercial micro labs require 70% alcohol minimum, and the big bottle I got during the height of the pandemic is only 62.5% alcohol, so I'm not going to add fragrance. The alcohol content does matter.
