Add to CartI can't think of a better use for natural homemade products than for our most precious little ones. The truth is, babies are so perfect just the way they are, they don't need much "product" - but what they do need you can make simply and inexpensively using all-natural ingredients.
Grocery store "baby" products (like talc-based "baby powder" and petroleum-based mineral oil sold as "baby oil") can often do more harm than good and should be avoided. The good news is that YOU can learn to make quality natural baby products so you'll have peace of mind knowing exactly what goes onto your baby (or your friends' babies) because you made it yourself!
In this eClass you will learn how to make:
- plant-based baby Massage Oil, a safe & healthy alternative to mineral oil
- talc-free Baby Powder scented with just a hint of organic essential oils
- gent Milk Bath for the tub (great for a bath with mom & baby together!)
All products made in this class are great for babies
or adults with sensitive skin who like to baby their skin!
All ingredients used to make these products are 100% natural, and contain no synthetic ingredients, fragrances or preservatives/parabens. This is a wonderful class to take whether you have precious little ones at home or have friends or family with babies and want to give them natural gifts from the heart!
