Homemade baby wipes

Make your own baby wipes with  essential oils

With all all the harsh and toxic ingredients found in our personal care items,  a recipe for making non-toxic baby wipes! Best container to store them in is the tall, cylinder baby wipes container you can buy at the store.
Cut a paper towel roll in half with a serrated knife. (Hint - name brand paper towels do work much better)
Place half of roll into container and save the other half for later. Pour the following mixture over roll in container:
2 cups of water
2 Tablespoons  Fractionated Coconut Oil
10 drops each of  Lavender oil and Melaleuca oil
After the mixture has soaked for an hour or more, remove cardboard from middle of roll and start dispensing with middle towel with the cylinder baby wipe container.
(Cost Evaluation : It costs $2.89 in  products to make this blend and there are approximately 56 sheets per paper towel roll = $.05 per wipe!)
Plus – no toxins going onto your baby’s body and the oils will actually help improve any diaper rash or irritation so it would save on purchasing separate creams!
Enjoy!
