Had no idea the deal I got...

...until I ran out! A GF was able to get me some awesome diaper ointment from Young Living for $4.50 a tube Bought 6 tubes. It was wonderful!! I gave away 4 of my tubes to family and kept 2. That was with DC#4. I ran out about 8 months ago and can't bring myself to pay full price for it now! My GF's friend doesn't work there anymore.

It's called Tender Tush through the Kids Sense line from Young Living. It's almost $30.00 a tube. I wonder if I can make my own from the ingredients on the list.

Anyone else ever heard of it our used it? It cleared up any diaper rash and skin irritation in a matter of hours!

Wow...whats in it?

[jessiehannan]

Sounds good.
There is a lady at the Farmer's market who makes skin balms, and her gardener's delight skin balm works wonders on diaper rash. She makes it from essential oils, beeswax and olive oil and I think a little vitamin E oil.
IF you don't already have the essesntial oils, it can get pricey when buying several kinds.

Here is the list of ingredients from the websight.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil, cocoa (Theobroma cacao) butter, beeswax, wheat germ oil, olive (Olea europaea) oil, almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, and the essential oils† of sandalwood (Santalum album)†, rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora)†, Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)†, lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)†, cistus ladanifer, blue tansy (Tanacetum annum)† and frankincense (Boswellia carteri)†.

† Pure therapeutic-grade essential oil.

When I looked into essential oils, some of the oils were fairly cheap, and some were almost $30 for 1/2 oz or an ounce. The only things I wouldn't know where to get are the cocoa butter and the coconut oil.

These ingredients can all be found at a health food store. The essential oils will be pricey up front but you'd be able to make a lot!

I have the coconut Oil, frankincense, olive Oil, lavender, and have some other mixutres that have blue Tansy, Rose wood, Roman chamomile, sandalwood..they have other oils in them i'm not sure would work in the mixture. Not sure about the cistus ladanifer.
