• 5 ml (1 tsp) or 2 g of grated raw Quebec beeswax (Or 2.5 ml (½ tsp) of sunflower wax.)
• 5 ml (1 tsp) of organic shea butter (raw)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of organic coconut oil
• 85 ml of organic sunflower oil
• 100 ml of limewater
• 5 ml (1 tsp) of vitamin E
• 250 ml amber pump bottle
• mini electric whisk or immersion blender
• funnel

NOTE: This liniment is rich and protective thanks to the shea butter and beeswax, and also lets us benefit from the many properties of coconut oil.

1. In a double boiler, melt the wax and the butter in the vegetable oils. Remove from heat.

2. Slowly pour in the limewater while mixing at the same time with the mini electric whisk or an immersion blender. This will emulsify the fats and the limewater into a beautiful, smooth, liquid cream. You shouldn't see any more droplets of limewater, which would be a sign that the saponification reaction isn't complete.

3. Add the vitamin E, then mix again.

4. Let cool to room temperature before transferring everything into the pump bottle using a funnel.

Liniment is a kind of cleansing and moisturizing milk/lotion/cream. On top of being natural and gentle, it doesn't need to be rinsed.

Shake the bottle before each use.

On baby's bottom

Put one or two pumps of liniment on a reusable wipe and clean the bum. That's it! No need to rinse, nothing. Liniment neutralizes the acidity of urine and also prevents and heals diaper rash.

Other uses for baby

It's used to fight seborrheic dermatitis in little ones, commonly known as “cradle cap” or “milk crust”.

Other uses... for parents!

You can use it as a makeup remover, as a massage lotion or to relieve eczema and dry skin.
