DIY Homemade Baby Wipes — Simple, Natural, and Budget-Friendly
After getting such a great response to my cleaning bombs last month, I thought it was the perfect time to bring back an old favorite — with a little update!
Now, I usually avoid using paper towels, napkins, or other disposable wipes whenever I can. But when it comes to baby wipes, I draw the line at cloth. I wanted something convenient but also gentle, safe, and chemical-free.
So, I decided to make my own wipes. Because lets face it we all could use these, they’re not just for babies. I know I need these especially when I have to do my yearly dreaded prep for my colonoscopy, yes I said yearly! Thanks to my Lynch Syndrom and being a cancer survivor that fun is yearly but better safe than sorry, right? So, when I say these not only save money, these wipes have to be free of any and all cancer causing ingredients. I need to know exactly what’s going on my skin — no hidden chemicals, fragrances, or irritants. And the best part? They’re just as effective as the store-bought ones. Believe me these wipes hold up!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
✨ 1 Plastic coffee container (29 oz) or round glass
✨ 1 Roll of paper towels
✨ 2 tablespoons coconut oil
✨ 2 tablespoons baby wash (or a gentle, toxin-free soap)
✨ 2 tablespoons tea tree oil
✨ 2 cups hot water
Instructions:
-
Cut the roll of paper towels in half so it fits into your coffee container.
-
In a bowl, mix the hot water, coconut oil, baby wash, and tea tree oil.
-
Pour the mixture over the paper towels inside the container.
-
Let it sit for 3–4 minutes to fully absorb.
-
Remove the cardboard tube from the center of the roll.
-
Optional: Cut an “X” in the center of the container lid and pull the wipes through for easy access.
That’s it! Simple, natural, and so effective.
Give it a try — your wallet and yours or little one’s skin will thank you. 💛
