Homemade Diaper Cream

2 tablespoons organic olive oil

2 tablespoons castor oil

1 teaspoon beeswax

1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E oil

1 teaspoon zinc oxide*

5-10 drops lavender essential oil

Gently heat the oils and the beeswax in a small bowl set over a pan of boiling water. When the wax has melted, remove from the heat. Let cool 5 minutes and then add Vitamin E, zinc oxide and essential oil. Pour into glass jar and refrigerate to solidify. Store in a dark, cool spot (1 month shelf life; 3 months in the fridge).
