Natural baby wipes are quick to make and work great.

Equipment

1 roll of paper towels

Ingredients 

• 2 cups water, filtered or distilled is best
• 1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon castile soap
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 10-15 drops lavender essential oils, optional

Instructions 

• Cut a paper towel roll in half, width wise, and place it upright in an airtight container.  (Save the other half for later unless making a double batch)
• Combine water, fractioned coconut oil, essential oils, castile soap, and vinegar in a pitcher.
• Pour the mixture over the paper towels to absorb for 10 minutes.
• Secure the lid and flip the container over to allow the top of the towels to absorb the mixture for an additional 10 minutes.
• Finally, remove the cardboard tube from the middle of the roll and carefully pull a paper square up from the centre to start the wipes.

Notes

• Always be sure to properly dilute essential oils before applying them topically, especially for babies.
• A sharp serrated knife works best for cutting through paper towels. An electric knife works well too. 
• Using distilled or filtered water is best. I try to avoid using tap water due to the unusually high chlorine content found in our water.
