Organic Natural Baby Soap

Organic natural baby soap can be expensive to buy and difficult to find, but you can easily and inexpensively make your own at home. The benefits of making your own organic natural baby soap is that you know exactly what ingredients are coming in contact with your baby's skin. There will be no harsh chemicals and fragrances to irritate baby. One good recipe for making organic natural baby soap would be as follows:

Organic Natural Baby Soap Recipe

15 oz. Organic Olive oil

5 oz. Organic Palm oil

5 oz. Organic Coconut oil

3.3 oz. Lye

8 oz. Water

You can choose to add organic baby food oatmeal (about ½ cup) to your recipe or you can leave it out. Baby food oatmeal is very smooth unlike regular oatmeal or even finely blended oatmeal.

You can keep the soap free of any fragrance or you can add Lavender Essential Oil. Lavender Essential Oil is frequently added to baby items because of its calming effect. Essential Oils are natural versus a fragrance oil which is synthetic. I would avoid a fragrance oil or you will not have organic natural baby soap. You would need about 1 oz. of Essential Oil.

This recipe makes 8 - 4 oz. bars of soap. If you wish to make more or less you can change the recipe amounts, but please double check your ingredient amounts with a lye calculator. I personally think it is easier to make a bigger batch (like twice or quadruple this amount) rather than a smaller amount.

Now you can enjoy an organic natural baby soap at the fraction of specialty store prices. If you would like more information about learning how to make soap visit How to Make Soap
