Natural Baby Oil
A simple baby oil recipe infused with natural herbs.
Servings: 8 ounces
Equipment
- Double boiler OR glass bowl and pot (or a glass Mason jar with lid)
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil (or apricot kernel oil)
- 2 TBSP calendula flowers
- 2 TBSP chamomile flowers
Instructions
- Put the herbs in a glass jar and pour the oil over them. Put the lid on the jar and keep in a cool, dark place, shaking daily for 4-8 weeks.
- A faster way is to use the stovetop infusion method instead. Add the oil and herbs to the top of a double boiler over medium-low heat. Heat gently for 1-3 hours, refilling the water in the bottom pot as needed.
- Strain the herbs out with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer.
- Use like you would regular baby oil.
Notes
This recipe is very soothing and great for any irritated skin, including eczema!
