Baby Booty Balm (In a twist tube!)

I have a had a few requests for a natural diaper ointment. Well you asked and I delivered. Baby Booty Balm (my husband made up the name) is made from a combination of Grapeseed Oil, Beeswax, Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, and a combination of essential oil specifically for diaper rash. It is all natural and safe for cloth diaper. And it smells wonderful! I've been using this on my little girl since she was born and have had great results. Best of all it comes in a twist tube so you never have to touch the ointment or baby's bottom and it lasts for months! You can use it every diaper change or just when the skin is irritated. 

Baby Booty Balm comes in 2oz tube for $10 or a 1oz tube for $5.

Note: For sanitation purposes only one tube per child should be used.

The best part about Baby Booty Balm is you can make it yourself! You can get most of the products, including the twist tubes, from Elements Bath and Body for a great price. For the essential oil I think doTerra is the best brand to go with. They have given me best results but they are higher priced because of the great quality. If you want to go with a lower priced essential oil Aura Cacia and Nature's Alchemy are good brands as well. You can find these essential oils at your local health store or visit http://www.vitacost.com/

This is what you will need:
2 Tablespoons Grapeseed Oil
2 Tablespoons Beeswax Pellets
1 Tablespoon Jojoba Oil
1 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil
1 Tablespoon Coconut or Shae Oil
2 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
2 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
2 drops Geranium Essential Oil
2 drops Lavender Essential Oil

In a double boiler or a small slow cooker (I used the slow cooker) melt all ingredients together except the essential oils. Once it is all smooth and liquid take a spoonful out and put it in the fridge for a few minutes. Test the spoonful to see if it is the consistency that you want. If it's too soft add more beeswax, if it's too hard add more grapeseed oil. This recipe is what I found to be the best consistency. When it is the way you want it add the essential oils and stir with a fork. Then pour or spoon the oil into a desired container such as a glass baby jar or a twist tube. (To transfer the oil I used a new turkey baster. I have also found a large syringe works well.) Let sit at room temperature until it is solid.

 This recipe makes about 3oz of balm which will fill one large and one small twist tube. You do not have to use all the essential oils listed but together they are great for diaper rash. At the very least I recommend tea tree essential oil and lavender essential oil.
