wipe recipes

Do you have any favorites for cleaning up little hands and faces?

The same mixture we use for cloth wipes when diapering is the same we use to wipe pretty much anything off DD. I have a lot of them listed here: Wipe Recipes

I also use my homemade wipes for cleaning faces and hands

I always keep a little baggie of them in my purse/bag at all times.

wing it!

I keep my essential oils by the sink, so when I'm refilling my dd's wipie warmer (which I love) I just add a few drops depending on my mood. My favorite is rose oil and lavender mixed. I also like to mix rosemary with lavender. If something tells me that I need to disinfect, I'll add tea tree also.
I have read that water suffices, so I feel like the oils are a luxurious addition to make my daughter smell even more kissable.

I guess we're pretty boring - we just use water (for bums and faces)!

I notice a lot of these recipes have soap in them. Isn't that something that should be rinsed off :

I put about 10 drops of GSE in my container (1-2 cups) along with whatever oils.

I use:
about 1 teaspoon of baby shampoo
about 1 teaspoon almond oil
about 4 or 5 drops each of lavender and tea tree essential oil
and enough water (plain tap) to soak a half roll of paper towel place in a rubbermaid round container. Not sure how much water, maybe 2 cups? I have a friend who adds witch hazel to her wipe recipe.

I use distilled water with Baby Bee's Apricot Oil, Dr. Bronner's soap, and organic aloe vera (I don't measure these, just a "dash" of each) and about three drops of tea tree oil, then I shake. I pour some in a Tupperware container of wipes and save the rest in an old glass milk jar.

Anyone??

[Sustainer]

Sorry, didn't see the question the first time. I rinse with warm, filtered water.

I figure since there is such little soap, there is no need to rinse off. A teaspoon or so of soap mixed in 2 cups of water(or so) is such a teeny amount.
