Homemade Baby Wipe Recipe

Okay, I have to admit I used Pampers Baby Fresh Wipes when Butterfly was still in diapers.  I do like to have wipes on hand and use them to wipe the dogs paws, human and people faces, high chair table top, wiping pen or crayon off table, etc.  I love these recipes my friend shared with me recently since they are safe for people and pets!  They are great to keep on hand in a zip lock bag for car rides too.  A spay bottle is great too!  Here are some homemade baby wipes recipes:

Baby Wash Recipe #1

• 2 TBSP Baby Wash (choose a natural wash!)
• 2 TBSP Olive Oil
• 2 Cups water
  Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box.

Baby Wash Recipe #2

• 2 TBSP Baby Wash
• 2 TBSP Olive Oil or 1 TBSP Calendula Oil
• 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil
• 2 Cups Water
  Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box. Tea Tree Oil has lovely disinfectant properties along with its wonderful, clean smell.

Aloe Vera Recipe

• 1/4 Cup Aloe Vera Gel
• 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil
• 2 Cups Hot Water
  Stir or shake until this recipe is well mixed. Don't use until the mixture cools. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box.

Vitamin E and Essential Oils Recipe

• 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil
• 2 Drops Lavender Oil (Please be sure to use only pure essential oils - don't use synthetic oils.)
• 2 Drops Chamomile Oil
• 2 Cups Water
• 1 Vitamin E Cap
  Cut open vitamin E caplet and squeeze into the water, and add essential oil drops. Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box

Everyday Essentials

Essential Oils make me happy!  I love that burning them for aromatherapy purposes actually cleans the air rather than pollute it like other scented oils.  There are many positive uses from medicinal, cleaning, mood enhancing aromatherapy and massage spa treatments.  

I'll regularly post everyday uses for you and your family to try under Everyday Essentials.  Enjoy!

Nourishing Banana Conditioner

1 cup hot strong chamomile tea

1 ripe banana

10 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

5 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

1 Tbsp. honey 

Combine all ingredients in a blender and apply to damp hair.   You can cover with a cap or warm towel and leave on while you relax in the bath or do your laundry, then rinse.  Note: coconut oil leaves hair beautiful, healthy and shiny.  If your hair is too oily, blot a bit of powder at roots.

Homemade Laundry Sheets

Take a small piece of flannel and put a few drops of Essential Oil of your choice such as Lavender.  Throw in dryer with clothes for natural, Divine scented clothes!
