Essential oils are super-powerful and must NEVER come into contact with baby’s skin, even indirectly. The EO must be blended with a carrier oil such as coconut, olive, etc. due to the potential for skin burns.

Powdered milk is what was used for this recipe.

I also suggest the milk bath be stored in a glass or plastic container in a cool, dry place.

Does this require refrigeration? Or, do you suggest powdered milk?

Great recipe! So easy and so safe. Little confused though, to find a Swiffer ad next door to your safe baby bath recipe. WTH? I make my own floor cleaner; it’s water and vinegar. Very simple, very safe, my floors have never been cleaner. Kids and pets can walk/crawl on it right away. By the way…for those allergic to cornstarch, try arrowroot powder.

For Sonja:

We use Dr. Bronner’s, too. We discovered that if we dilute it with water, it still works great and doesn’t irritate or dry out our skin. You might want to try that with your daughter.

Did she mean powdered milk?? Otherwise I don’t think it would work very well. . . .

Doesn’t sound like it will stay good for very long, what with the milk and all that. Do I have to make a new batch for every bath?
I’ve been using Dr. Bronner’s soap, and while I’m sure it doesn’t contain toxic goo, it does irritate my (super-duper hyper-sensitive) skin, so I’ll have to find an alternative.

This is great… however… I’ll have to see if there is a substitution for the corn starch. My Punkin is allergic to corn! It’s nearly impossible to find bath products that don’t include some type of corn (or that doesn’t contain toxic goo).
