When you bring your baby home and want to make sure they get the best in organic skin care, you may find that the optimal way to get the kind of products you need is to make your own. They’re pretty easy to create and they make great gifts too! It doesn’t matter if you’re a new parent, a relative or friend, or just want to try making your own, you’ll be amazed at how easy and inexpensive these products are to make.

You may have to do a little cooking to make your own organic produce, but you’ll be surprised how easy it really is. With the exception of steeping a few herbs, there is very little work involved, and if you grow your own herbs, you can make organic baby skin care products for next to nothing, using your own fresh ingredients.

It is much safer to use all-natural powder for your baby because the powder in most products can cause serious problems with the respiratory system of babies. Although some doctors will suggest that you skip the use of powder and allow the little bum to air out, you can still create your own natural product to use. Combine one cup of arrowroot powder with one tablespoon of ground dried chamomile and one tablespoon of dried lavender. This powder keeps your baby’s bottom dry and prevents bacteria from proliferating on his skin.

Baby shampoos often contain trace amounts of harmful chemicals. But you can make your own natural baby shampoo very easily by taking fresh rosemary, half a pint of distilled water, four and a half ounces of UNSCENTED baby shampoo with four drops of fresh rosemary essential oil. Slowly boil the rosemary in the distilled water for thirty minutes; strain into a container. Add essential oil and shampoo and shake to mix.

You should know that essential oils are excellent for moisturizing the skin and for healing skin irritations or rashes. Tea tree oil is good as an antibacterial. Both aloe vera and calendula have anti-inflammatory properties and relieve discomfort.

As you research the properties of the different ingredients in organic baby skin care products, you will discover that you can easily and affordably create organic products, especially if you have fun growing your own herbs. Your baby will love the wonderful feeling of using these natural products, and you’ll be glad to know that she’s making her own natural products to take better care of your child.
