Baby Care: Cloth Diapering and Safe Skin Care with Lavender

Our sweet little ones are certainly grime magnets, aren't they?  It's quite the task to keep up on their daily diapering and leaky orifice needs!

So many products these days are filled with troubling or questionable chemicals.  If you're looking for an organic, toxin-free solution for caring for your newest, most squeezable family members, we've put together a list of solutions just for you.

Safe Diapering and Baby Skin Care Solutions

Organic Lavender Hydrosol

If you're intimidated by cloth diapers but still want to reduce what you are sending to landfills, using our Organic Lavender Hydrosol with cloth wipes is a great first step to offset waste due to disposable wipes.  A couple spritzes of lavender hydrosol and a clean cloth make great reusable baby wipes.  You can purchase cloths designed specifically for diapering to keep at the ready at your changing station.  Our staff members who use this method insist it leaves baby with a cleaner bum than those conventional disposable wipes! 

Organic Lavender Hydrosol is also great for mitigating diaper rash because of lavender's all-natural antiseptic, soothing and healing attributes. 

Added bonus: lavender hydrosol serves double duty around babies, providing a safe, organic cleaning option for baby toys, crib rails, highchair, changing table and any other sites you may find your adorable little drooler's slimy trails.

Lavender Body Powder

Keeping baby's diaper dry is key for avoiding discomfort and associated tears.  Our Lavender Body Power is talc-free and safe for use as a diaper powder as needed to maintain healthy skin on baby's delicate parts.

Lavender Body Oil

Baby massages are highly recommended by pediatricians to help soothe and relax baby, especially if your little one is suffering discomfort due to colic.  Our Lavender Body Oil is great for giving baby a gentle massage - because it absorbs a little faster than our Lavender Massage Oil, you won't have to worry about any oily mess when your squirmy kiddo is ready to go explore on hand and knee.

Lavender Therapeutic Salve

Our preservative-free Lavender Therapeutic Salve is a thicker paste consistency and is brimming with natural healing oils formulated to maximize their complementary anti-inflammatory, steroid-free, soothing and therapeutic properties.  It's an effective and safe alternative for allowing baby's body to heal naturally from cradle cap, baby eczema or more extreme diaper rashes.

 

Organic Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender essential oil is great for soothing rashes.  A drop or two goes a long way - simply add it to your conventional cream or safely drop it right on any red spots in baby's diaper area.  The strong fragrance will also help cover any undesirable odors.

Dried Organic Lavender Flower Buds

Speaking of hiding foul odors... a few lavender sachets, bouquets, or other floral decor items not only add a lovely decorative touch to your baby's nursery, but also offer a pleasant, clean aroma.  If your sachets are losing their potency, simply give them a squeeze to break open more of the buds to release more of the essential oil and its fragrance.
