If you are wondering how to make a healing diaper balm for your baby, you can make your own. Making solves is the process of combining oils, butters, and waxes to make a soothing herbal remedy. This particular recipe contains three herbal infused oils. You can purchase these oils already infused or make them yourself. This blog post has details instructions on how to make your own heat infused herbal oils. The herbs used in this salve are calendula, St John's Wort, and comfrey.

Many diaper creams include zinc. This recipe calls for the addition of non-nano zinc oxide powder. Zinc is part of the healing power of this diaper balm and it also helps stick to the skin and make a thick coating.

The first step is to make your herbal infused oils. These oils can be made by soaking the herbs in oil for 6 weeks. If you would like the oil to be ready sooner you can use heat to infuse the oil. Both avocado oil and olive oil are good choices for these infused oils.

Using the heat infused herbal oil method you can mix all three herbs together in oil and Infuse it specifically for this recipe. Alternatively, you can Infuse them individually so you have them for other recipes in the future. If you would like to make the oils individually use this tutorial to make the oils.
