Making organic baby lotion is a simple and rewarding process that allows you to create a natural and nourishing product for your little one’s delicate skin. It is important to use only organic, natural ingredients in baby products as their skin are more sensitive to irritation.
To make organic baby lotion, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/4 cup organic, unrefined coconut oil
- 1/4 cup organic, unrefined shea butter
- 1/4 cup organic, unrefined cocoa butter
- 1/4 cup organic, liquid carrier oil (such as almond, jojoba, or avocado oil)
- 10-20 drops of organic essential oils (optional, for scent and additional nourishment)
First, melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter in a double boiler or a small saucepan over low heat. Once the ingredients are fully melted and well combined, remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Next, add the liquid carrier oil and stir well to combine. If you are using essential oils, add them at this time and stir to incorporate them.
Once the mixture is fully combined, transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the lotion is smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a small amount of water to thin it out.
Once the lotion is smooth and creamy, transfer it to a clean, airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. It is best to use the lotion within a few months of making it to ensure it is freshest and most effective.
To use the lotion, apply a small amount to your baby’s skin as needed. It is perfect for use on the face, hands, and body and can help to nourish and moisturize your little one’s delicate skin.
Making your organic baby lotion is a great way to ensure that you use only natural, nourishing ingredients on your baby’s skin. It is a simple and rewarding process that allows you to create a safe and effective, high-quality product for your little one.
