It is very messy to make, but I love that I know what is in it and it is free of smellies and colors.
My friend Tory taught me how to make this recipe
*If you are a cloth diaper user, this is a good cream to use because it is more water soluble, and comes off in the hot water rinse. As a precaution though, I do use a paper liner in my diapers when I use rash cream.
Ingredients
-1 pound of Zinc Oxide Ointment USP (you can ask the pharmacist for this as they usually have it behind their counter, or they will order it for you)
-1 pound of Aquaphor ointment (the original kind without added scents or colors)
I have included a picture so that you buy the right kind. (Aquaphor has many varietied of their creams now.)
*********This is the Messy part********
With a rubber spatula, scoop out both ointments and put the mixtures in a large plactic bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip the creams together for about 5 to seven minutes, scraping the sides often.
When the creams are mixed together and are fluffy, fill the two tubs that the ointments came in with your newly made diaper cream.
You will need to soak the spatula, beaters, and bowl in very HOT and soapy water for a few minutes. It usually takes me a few washes to get the residue off.
