Recipe: zero waste wipes on the go
Many shop-bought wipes contain ingredients you would probably prefer to avoid in a bow, such as (micro)plastics and synthetic fragrances. Fortunately, you can easily make your own wipes. The earth, your baby's skin and your wallet will thank you!
Tools
- 10-20 reusable wipes
- 200 ml of water
- kettle
- heat-resistant dish
- 1/2 tbsp almond oil, coconut oil or olive oil (organic)
- a few drops of baby wash gel
- box or bag to store the wipes
Instructions
- Boil the water.
- Put the water in a bowl and add the oil.
- Add a few drops of baby wash gel so that the oil dissolves well in the water. Then stir well.
- Fold the wipes together so you can take them out easily (see photos).
- Put the wipes in the dish and let them soak for a while so that they absorb the water well.
- Put the wipes in a handy storage box or bag. This way you can store them for about 2 to 3 days.
Notes
Wash the wipes with your 60-degree wash after use and you will enjoy them for years.
Instead of soaking the wipes, you can also put the mixture in a spray bottle and then wet the wipes with that when you need them.
