As a mom with two kids in diapers we use diaper ointments, lotions, creams like you wouldn’t believe! My youngest in particular seems to use them the most. He has incredibly dry and sensitive skin…I guess what I am getting at is that we have basically tried every diaper cream out there for him with no success. I wanted to try a home remedy to see if any of the “extras” found in store bought diaper creams could be part of his sensitivity issue. After a couple of trials we finally came up with this recipe for a DIY Diaper Cream that has been absolutely amazing!

This lotion is also awesome to use for dry skin in other places. I have been loving using this at night for my hands and feet =)
