You get a wonderful scent and gentle cleansing with this Homemade Lavender Baby Wash and none of the scary unpronounceable ingredients.
If reading the back of the bottle from your store-bought baby wash makes you want to skip the baths altogether, have no fear. It is easy, inexpensive, and even fun to make your own. Also, you control the ingredients. We leave out things like artificial color, scent, and drying alcohol to create a gentle and effective homemade baby wash that you and baby will love. It requires just a few ingredients. Always be sure to use 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oil (no matter the brand) to put together this Homemade Lavender Baby Wash for little ones.
Use the tutorial below to make a batch of baby wash. We use a small amount of lavender because it is a calming scent, you can leave it out if you wish. However, if you want to add other essential oils, please do your research first. Some essential oils, such as lemon oil, make the skin more sensitive to the effects of the sun and increase the chance that your child will get a sunburn.
