What I love about our products is they're so versatile! So you don't need to buy tons for separate things. For instance, the diaper rash cream is like a "Neosporin", so we use it for bug bites, sunburns, scars/stretch marks, eczema. So it's really not considered a diaper cream at our house. The hand sanitizer is great for pimples. Listed below is a bunch of options.
Plus I've been reading a lot of testimonials lately about the Ava Dish Soap being great for stains, whether it be on clothing or furniture.
Baby Shampoo Body Wash and Bubble Bath

non-toxic, cost effective, homemade baby wipes!! 1Tbs. Ava Shower Gel or Baby
Wash, 1 Tbs. Olive Oil or 1/2 Tbs Coconut Oil, 1/2 Tbs Ava Hand Sanitizer 1 cup
Hot Water. Cut a roll of sturdy paper towels
in half with a bread knife and place half cut side down into the mixture. Let
soak, then remove the inner cardboard tube. Place the half roll in a Ziplock

preservatives, wipes can go stale--so only make what you can use within 2
weeks.

On a side note, on a mini-vacation last week, we stayed at 2 different hotels. A medium class and high class and both had bathing products with chemicals in it. The first 2 ingredients were water, SLS. For those not familiar with SLS, it stands for Sodium Laureth Sulfate, and it produces the suds in all products. But it is a toxin. I was very surprised. I sort of chuckled to myself about the ingredients.
That's all for now! ;)
