Homemade baby wipes

I like to make my own baby wipes for a few reasons; they are cheaper, I know what is in them, they are great for babies with sensitive skin, like my baby, and I can make them as I need with just a few items in just a few minutes.  As long as you have some Bounty paper towel rolls on hand, you will be able to make them as needed because the other items will last a very long time.

You will need

Lavender essential oil

Tea Tree essential oil

A carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil

Bounty paper towels

and

a container big enough for half a roll of paper towels

 

 

Cut the paper towels in half, you will use half now, and the other half next time.  Use a sharp serrated knife or electric knife, they are a lot harder to cut than you would think.

 

 

In a large measuring cup or bowl put,

1 cup warm water

3 drops lavender essential oil

3 drops Tea Tree essential oil

1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil, or another carrier oil

 

Pour mix over the half roll of paper towl in the container you have chosen

Allow to soak 10 minutes, then flip container upside down and let sit 10 more minutes

After it has soaked all the way through pull out the cardboard center

and wal-la, you have homemade baby wipes!

 

 

I store the other half of the paper towel roll in a zip lock bag to keep it clean and dust free, and it is ready to go for next time.
