Natural Homemade Baby Wipes
A quick and easy solution for baby wipes that is healthy for baby's skin and contains all-natural ingredients.
Servings: 1 pack
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups distilled water
- 1 tbsp pure witch hazel (be sure to use alcohol-free witch hazel)
- 1 tbsp aloe vera juice
- 1/2 tbsp pure castille soap
- 6-7 drops lavender or sweet orange essential oils
Optional
- 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 capsules vitamin E
- 1 pkg paper towels, cut in half with serrated knife (Bounty Select-A-Size works best for this)
Instructions
- In a glass measuring cup mix all ingredients until fully incorporated. To add vitamin E capsules, pierce them with the tip of a paring knife and squeeze oil into wipes solution.
- Place wipes of choice (fabric or paper towel) into a container (see notes).
- Slowly pour liquid in measuring cup over wipes. Allow to soak into wipes for a few minutes. Use as needed!
Notes
Wipes soaked in this solution will keep for up to 4 weeks.
I find that a reusable plastic wipes container works really well for this recipe. Paper towel wipes can be pulled easily out of the top of the container, and cloth wipes fit nicely inside it as well!
Other essential oils can be used, but check to ensure they are safe for a baby's skin before using.
