Taking care of your baby’s delicate skin is a top priority for parents. Diaper creams are essential for preventing and soothing diaper rash, but they often come with a hefty price tag and the risk of harmful additives. However, I recently stumbled upon a game-changing recipe that not only protects my little one’s skin but also serves as an effective makeup remover. Say hello to my favorite DIY diaper cream recipe, the Olive Oil Oléo-Calcareous Liniment.

The Recipe:



This simple recipe requires only three main ingredients: lime water, beeswax, and olive oil. Optionally, you can also add vitamin E or another preservative for added benefits. Here’s how to make it:

1. Gather the following ingredients:
– 100 ml Lime water
– 4 g Beeswax
– 100 ml Olive oil
– Vitamin E (optional)DIY diaper cream

2. Melt the beeswax using the bain-marie method, which involves placing a heatproof container with the beeswax into a larger pot of simmering water.

3. Once the beeswax has melted, remove it from heat and slowly add the lime water while stirring continuously.

4. For extra nourishment, add a few drops of vitamin E or any other preservative of your choice.

5. Give it a final stir, and voila! Your homemade diaper cream and makeup remover are ready to use.

2. Gently sweep the soaked pad over your face, focusing on areas with makeup.

3. The natural moisturizing properties of olive oil, combined with the emollient effects of beeswax, work together to remove makeup gently and effectively.
