As a parent, it becomes more important to ensure your baby's safety and well-being, especially when it comes to their skin. Many store-bought products, even those labeled as baby-friendly, contain harsh chemicals that may not be suitable for your baby or little one’s delicate skin. The good thing is that you can create organic baby products for your baby at home, and it is not as difficult as you might think!
Create safe, effective, and nourishing products free of bad additives using simple, natural ingredients. Below are some fantastic DIY recipes for making baby products organically. Take control of what you put on your baby's skin with these guidelines.
- Organic Diaper Cream (Cloth Diaper Safe)
The babies' sensitive skin can be very sensitive to irritations that may arise once they wear diapers. This organic diaper cream from home is soothing and safe for cloth diapers.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Calendula flowers
- 1 tablespoon Chamomile flowers
- 1/4 cup Shea butter (organic and unrefined)
- 1 tsp arrowroot or zinc oxide powder (Optional)
Instructions: Combine calendula and chamomile flowers with coconut oil in a double boiler. Simmer on low for one hour to infuse the oil. Then strain out the flowers. Mix the infused oil with shea butter and arrowroot or zinc oxide for extra moisture absorption. Store in a glass jar and apply as needed.
- DIY Organic Baby Oil
Most of the baby oils sold in the market are composed of petroleum by-products and artificial perfumes. Instead, this organic baby oil nourishes and protects your baby's skin organically.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Organic Olive or Apricot Kernel Oil
- 2 tablespoons Calendula flowers
- 2 tablespoons Chamomile flowers
Instructions: Steep the flowers in the oil using a double boiler for an hour or put the flowers in a jar and sit them in a cool, dark spot for 6-8 weeks. You can then squeeze the flowers and your vitamin-rich baby oil is ready to soothe dry skin or diaper rash.
