You could use straight Pure Glycerin . .



that should bind everything together that and a little heat. .



if you do heat up the mix in deep dry pot on the stove be aware (as someone mentioned to me they did not know) heating baking soda too high will change it into oxygen stain fighting powder. ( would kinda burn the pits..)



one other alternative. . crushed kosher salt . . or no iodine salt, , maybe dissolve into a super saturated solution , , then add your Zinc based or lavender scented powder mint oil? vanilla , favorite cologne or whatever.



the salt will deter bacteria growth as with natural salt stone deodorants.



theres is also a foaming hand wash that many dollar stores have its alcohol free and marketed as ALCOHOL FREE HAND SANITIZER by many brands the main ingredient is Benzalkonium Chloride .. a great alternative..





one more. . another powerful anti bacterial inhibitor / destroyer that goes very very far, is Chlorhexidine Gluconate



if you ve been to a hospital or clinic lately most use this in their soap, dentist pack in your root canals and later it converts to calcium, a few drops can go a long way.



i only mention in case some has some extreme allergies and need alternatives good luck to all. .



maybe eventually there could be a " ible " brand of sundries and household items.
