Baby has sometimes irritated bottom?
No need to spread it with creams full of dubious products...
You can make your own organic liniment with only 3 ingredients!
This homemade liniment is perfect for cleaning, moisturizing and protecting baby's bottom, especially against diaper rashes.
Don't worry, this natural recipe is simple to make and works wonders for baby's skin. Watch:
- Organic beeswax
- Olive oil
- Lime water
- Grapefruit seed extract
1. Heat some water in a saucepan.
2. Place a heat-resistant glass container in the pan to make a bain-marie.
3. In the glass container, put 4 g of organic beeswax.
4. Add 100 ml of olive oil.
5. Melt everything over low heat while stirring.
6. Add 100 ml of lime water.
7. Put the whole mixture in a blender for 3 min.
8. Add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract.
9. Remix everything for a few seconds.
10. Let cool.
11. When the mixture is cold, pour the mixture into a clean bottle.
As it cools, the liniment hardens slightly. So remember to shake the bottle to give it a more fluid consistency.
Then, just do 1 pressure or 2 on the bottle to clean the baby's bottom.
It's perfect for removing baby's stools, even the most stubborn ones! And what's more, you don't even need to rinse.
I also advise you to use washable baby wipes like these. After 1 or 2 uses, just put in the washing machine instead of throwing in the trash!
And There you go ! Your organic oleo-limestone baby liniment is already ready :-)
Not very complicated to make, is it?
It's the baby who will be happy because the liniment will soothe the irritations on his little buttocks.
Why ? Because this homemade liniment leaves a protective film, the pH of which cancels out the acidity of the urine.
The advantage of this homemade organic liniment is that it is free of chemicals, additives, fragrances and preservatives unlike most commercial wipes, even marketed as "organic".
Know that this mixed liniment can be kept for 3 weeks at room temperature and protected from light.
If you prefer, you can substitute olive oil with sweet almond oil.
The grapefruit seed extract acts as a natural preservative and the wax acts as an emulsifier.
The liniment is not only used to clean Baby on the changing table. It can be used as a lotion for massages, body cream, or to relieve a small burn like a sunburn.
