6dropsessential oils(optional, baby safe ones like lavender, chamomile, or tea tree)
Instructions
Mix shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax in a double boiler or glass bowl over a small saucepan with some water. Bring the water to a boil.
Stir occasionally until everything is melted.
Remove from heat and whisk in the cod liver oil, zinc oxide, bentonite clay, and essential oil (if using).
Stir carefully as it starts to cool. I recommend using a popsicle stick or disposable straw to stir so it can be discarded since it is difficult to get the mixture off of dishes.
Pour the diaper rash cream into your heat-safe container and stir a few more times as it cools.
Store in an airtight container like a glass jar in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. This will last up to 1 year if the cod liver oil is omitted.
Use as needed for diaper rash or for prevention.
Notes
If you omit the cod liver oil and/or zinc oxide then reduce the essential oils to 5 drops (if using).
