Natural Home Made Baby Wipes

♥ Coconut oil – Naturally antibacterial and beautifully nourishing for your skin.
♥ Baking soda – Absorbs underarm odour like a champ. (If your skin is on the sensitive side, just use a little less.)
♥ Arrowroot powder – Gives a silky smooth texture and helps bind everything together. You can swap this for cornflour if that’s what you have on hand.
♥ Essential oils – Pick oils that are both antibacterial and odour-busting, such as lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, and citrus (lemon or orange). Feeling groovy? Add a dash of patchouli for extra yumminess.
♥ Shea butter & beeswax – Want a firmer, balm-like deodorant? Add these into the mix and follow Method 2 for a solid version.

Method 1 – Simple & Soft 💛

• 4–5 dessert spoons coconut oil

• 2 heaped teaspoons baking soda

• 2 heaped teaspoons arrowroot (or swap for cornflour)

Mix everything together in a bowl, then add 10–15 drops of your chosen essential oils.
Pour into a glass jar and leave to set.

This mixture works beautifully but may melt in warmer weather
(hello, Aussie summers).
If it softens too much, just keep it in the fridge and scoop out with a spoon to apply.

Method 2 – Solid & Long-Lasting

• 2 teaspoons beeswax pellets

• 2 dessert spoons shea butter

• 4 dessert spoons coconut oil

• 2 heaped teaspoons arrowroot

• 2 heaped teaspoons baking soda

• 10–15 drops essential oil

1. Melt the beeswax in a double boiler.

2. Remove from heat and stir in the shea butter and coconut oil.

3. Once combined, add arrowroot, baking soda, and finally the essential oils.

4. Pour into a glass jar and leave to set.

And that’s it — you’re good to go!

Most of all, have fun. Play around with the ingredients to find what works best for you.

• Add more beeswax for a firmer balm.

• Try deodorant sticks or even sprays.

• Experiment with different oil blends for your own signature scent.

There’s so much magic to create with these simple ingredients — this is just the beginning.
