TTO-free wipe solution?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I've been searching the threads for wipe solution recipes and looking at store-bought solutions.... but it seems like everything I'm finding so far has tea tree oil in it, which I'm very allergic to. Does anybody have a recipe or know of a store-bought variety I haven't found yet that doesn't have TTO in it?

Before I started adding TTO to our wipe solution, I just did a few drops of baby wash in a peri bottle filled with water, and wet wipes as necessary. I only started adding TTO to our solution, because we were having reoccurring yeast issues. The baby wash and water worked just fine for the first 18 months. Dr. Bronner's works well too.

My baby was sensitive to TTO as well, so we just used distilled water and it worked fine.

You can also do lanvender instead of TTO.. Honestly though I prefer the wet the wipe under the warm facet method

If I wanted the same benefits as TTO without the TTO, I would substitute Grapefruit Seed Extract in any recipe that called for TTO.

When you think about it, we don't use wipe solutions on our bums, so our babies don't really need it either. But I second all the other posters ideas.. using a small amount of baby wash mixed in with the water, or using lavender.. and thumbs up to the grapefruit seed extract idea.. I LOVE that stuff!!! I think its really quite flexible, there is no set amount of anything that you need to add. My personal wipe system is using lionheart wipe warmer with washcloths folded in half, I fill up a milk jug with hot water and squirt in some burts bees baby wash, and a few drops of chosen essential oil, put the cap on, shake it up and pour it in as needed.
