Store-bought baby washes (like other cleaners) are full of artificial ingredients, and they’re pretty darn expensive. This homemade baby wash works great, smells great, and is all natural! You’ll need a 16-ounce amber or cobalt glass pump bottle. Not sure where to get one? Check here.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup liquid unscented castile soap
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 4 tbsp vegetable glycerin
- 2 tsp fractionated coconut oil
- 10 drops essential oil of choice (I use lavender)
Make It:
- Add all ingredients to a 16-ounce glass pump bottle using a funnel.
- Cap and shake vigorously.
Use Tips:
- Shake gently before each use to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.
- For a full tub, use 4-5 pumps of baby wash.
Cost Comparison:
- This recipe = 72 cents per ounce
- Aveeno baby wash at Walmart = 50 cents per ounce
- As you can see, this is one of the few recipes where the homemade alternative is more expensive. But…with the homemade baby wash, your little one gets an all-natural bath, free of harsh chemicals and artificial ingredients! In my mind, that’s worth the extra few cents!

Can you include where you purchased the ingredients? Also, what is the reason for the special bottle? Thank you!!

Absolutely! I will update the post with links. I usually get stuff on Amazon because it’s a bit cheaper, but the ingredients can also be purchased at Pomegranate Market here in Sioux Falls. Because the recipes use essential oils, glass bottles are preferred, as the oils can start to (for lack of a better word) “eat” their way through plastic over time.
