Zero Waste Baby Wipes

Here is my very own tried and tested recipe for home made, zero waste baby wipes!!

You will need....

A few napkins (I found mine for $3 at the local thrift store)

3 Tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil (from any health food or grocery store)

3 Tablespoons Rose Water (from an Asian grocery store)

Scissors

Mixing Bowel and Spoon

A waterproof bag/container to store the wipes in (I used an old travel make up bag that I wasn't using-you can buy these super cheap from thrift stores)

Coconut Oil is an antibacterial oil that has immense health benefits. 

Rose water is antibacterial and antiseptic and has a beautiful floral scent.

Both these products are natural and work wonderfully for sensitive skin.

As with all new products, do a skin test prior to using them in case of an allergic reaction.

                                          
                                          Step 1: Lay out all items, ready to go

                                       

                                         Step 2: Cut napkins into suitable size for individual 
                                                     wipes

                                         
                                         
                                          Step 3: Measure Organic Coconut Oil and place 
                                                      in mixing bowl

 
                                         
                                         Step 4: Measure out Rose Water and place in mixing 
                                                      bowl with Coconut Oil

 

                                         

                                          Step 5: Mix together to create and oily syrup like  
                                                      consistency-you may need to heat up the 
                                                      Coconut Oil first if it is too solid 
                                       

 

                                          Step 6: Soak wipes in mixture. They don't need
                                                      to all be completely soaked, just enough to
                                                      be moist and oily 

                                         Step 7: Fold wipes together so they are easy to 
                                                     pull out, one by one

                                         

                                          Step 8: Place moist and oily wipes inside your
                                                       waterproof purse or container

                                          And Voila! 

                                         You have now made your own Zero Waste Baby Wipes!!

                                          These can be used for so many things.
                                           I use these mainly for changing my son Romeos' nappies,
                                           but they can also be used instead of hand sanitiser and 
                                           many other things.

                                          A Few Things.....

                                          These are very oily so wash them separately in the machine.

                                          You made need to re-soak the wipes after they have been washed.

                                          Also beware of other people getting SUPER jealous of your 
                                          awesome ZERO WASTE WIPES.....

                 
                                         And remember...
