Booty Butter


Booty Butter is pretty easy to make and it's super effective!  It's a nice alternative to products that have petroleum jelly and zinc ingredients.  It's a great at preventing diaper rash and soothing sore nipples on nursing mamas. We also use it on areas of the skin that are prone to eczema. 

1 teaspoon of lanolin
1/2 ounce of calendula oil
1 ounce of extra virgin olive oil
1/4 ounce of beeswax

Combine all ingredients together in either a Pyrex measuring cup or pan and place in a hot water bath.  Once the wax is melted, remove the cup/pan from the hot water bath and stir.  Pour the mixture into a jar and allow it to cool before capping.

Yields approximately 2 ounces.
