SKIN OIL BENEFITS

When my children were little, they had very sensitive skin. I had a difficult time finding a moisturizer that didn’t irritate their skin. Almost every lotion we tried caused an eczema-like rash, leaving the skin even more irritated than before. We did find a few products made with cleaner, gentler ingredients that seemed to work better, but they came with a hefty price tag.

Additionally, some petroleum-based products didn’t seem to cause as much irritation, but I wasn’t comfortable using them long-term because of concerns about their ingredients and potential health risks. I wanted something that was both effective and made with ingredients I felt good about putting on my children’s skin.

CREATE YOUR OWN

After spending countless hours researching natural ingredients and experimenting with different combinations, I finally had an easy formula that worked great! While it’s technically a skin oil rather than a lotion, it serves the same purpose by deeply moisturizing while creating a protective barrier to help lock in moisture. Since it doesn’t contain water, it’s also incredibly simple to make and naturally has a longer shelf life.

This homemade skin oil has been a game changer for our family, and I’m excited to share my favorite recipe with you!
