On my quest to eliminate the chemicals and synthetic ingredients in our lives, I have started making my own everyday beauty and body care items for my family.\u00a0 One of my favorites (and a favorite of my kids) is a Homemade Body Wash for kids. Not only is it gentle and clean, but also smells great! This liquid soap can be used on their body and hair with no worries because it is 100% safe \u2013 and they will love it!\n\n\n\n

BODY WASH TIPS AND OPTIONS\n\n\n\n

The basic ingredients are Castile soap and water. There are other ingredients you can add to the DIY body wash to make it even healthier and smell good.\n\n\n\n

Add a moisturizer like vegetable glycerin to make it lather more. Everyone enjoys bubbles!\n\n\n\n

Add your choice of carrier oil and to soothe and moisturize skin.\n\n\n\n

Pick some favorite essential oils to make it smell wonderful. Create a wake-up body wash with peppermint essential oil, or a sleepy-time body wash with lavender essential oil.\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s helpful to have a plastic foaming dispenser, or a pump dispenser, but you can just store it in a jar and use it on a washcloth.\n\n\n\n

You may also want to try our detox bath for kids! This one is great for when the kiddos are feeling under the weather. Use a homemade detangler for hair to avoid unnecessary toxic chemicals after bath time to keep your family as safe as possible.\n\n\n\n

48-64 drops of essential oils*\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

* The total amount of EOs used will vary based on skin sensitivity and age of the child. See our printable dilution chart for guidance on EO amounts by age.\n\n\n\n

Some safe single essential oils to use for children\u2019s baths are cedarwood, lavender, German chamomile, Roman chamomile, frankincense, Siberian fir, and citrus oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit, etc.).\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Some of my favorite EO blend variations to use include:\n\n\n\n

Joyful Blend \u2013 equal parts orange and vanilla\n\n\n\n

Awesome Body \u2013 equal parts orange, grapefruit, lime, lemon, and peppermint\n\n\n\n

Herb Garden Relaxation \u2013 equal parts peppermint and lavender\n\n\n\n

Sweet Sleep \u2013 equal parts Roman chamomile, lavender, and vetiver\n\n\n\n

Respiratory Support \u2013 equal parts eucalyptus, peppermint, Roman chamomile, and lavender\n\n\n\n

Notes \u2013 I always rotate which essential oils I use whenever I make a new batch so I\u2019m not using the same oils every day. This maximizes the benefits and helps prevent sensitization.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
