Does this have to be mixed with Carrier oil? Would almond oil be ok? I want to use on babies feet at bedtime.

Hi Lindsey, I didn't mix with Carrier oil and it would fine. Please contact Edens Garden for more info.

I would contact Edens Garden with your question. My experience has been with my grandchildren ages 6 and 8 which in this case I would do 1 drop to 1 drop of coconut oil. Almond is fine. Fractionated coconut oil is what I have used.

I personally always mix Essential oils with carrier oils when using them on babies and young children. I have tried mixing this Essential oil with Almond oil, coconut oil and Shea Butter and they all work well.

I have heard that you should not use oils on children under 2. Check with your pediatritian. I use mine in a diffuser and it works well.

100% pure lavender oil is generally considered safe to use directly on skin, but to be safe it is suggested that you use a carrier oil and never use any essential oil on babies or small children. Hope this helps

I usually soaked my feet in a warm bath the next morning to let it soften then just gave it a good rub with my fingers. You may want to try petroleum or baby oil instead of something so harsh. I found that some packages have stickier tape than others which I didn't like.

I use this mixed with the Hemp oil on my husbands feet at night. He is going through some medical treatments and it helps him sleep.

I have used Jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil. Olive oil has a stronger smell though, so I would use another .

Lemon Oil??? Really? It is natural almond butter so I would think it would be natural oils for crushed almonds.

Works fine with coconut oil, never tried with baby oil... just use once then wash and don't forget to use the laundry bag provided or you could ruin them.

A few drops in the bathwater, or 1:1 with a carrier oil (we use almond) for a body oil. I am allergic to aloe, so I use lavender for a sun-exposure (read: sunburn) balm this way...it's amazing. I'll do a straight dab on my temples (and drag it down towards my ears/throat) for allergies and/or a headache...and on my wrists and chest for sleep. For my toddler, she gets it in her bath (see above) and on her chest, back and bottoms of her feet with the carrier oil. I have yet to use it on the linens, though.

Atsko makes a beeswax skin protector called Pro-Tech-Skin. It's a cream so I think to would be a lot easier to apply than than the boot stuff, but I haven't used it so I don't know. There is no reason you can't use beeswax on your skin, lots of skin care products contain it, but make sure this stuff doesn't contain anything else that might harm you. I'm a doctor and I wash/alcohol gel my hands all day long and the thing that does the best for my disaster hands and feet (I call them my hooves they're so bad) is anhydrous lanolin which is a natural form of wax as well but with a very different chemical makeup than beeswax. Anhydrous means no water in it so it's pretty stiff but it works much better than the lanolin creams that contain water. Warm it up a little and it's much easier to apply. I've used two from Amazon, Lansinoh, which is recommended for women who are breast feeding, and the Australian Golden Lanolin. Lansinoh is pretty expensive but it is odorless. The Australian Golden Lanolin has a very faint scent , but I don't find it offensive at all and I use on hands and feet. I've used other brands of anhydrous lanolin that had varying intensities of sheep smell left. S if you decide to try lanolin, check out the reviews before you buy something you won't use because it smells weird.

I think if you can dilute it correctly, you'll be ok. It's a very, very strong oil, so it def needs the correct ratio of carrier oil to this. Plant therapy has a dilution chart here: http://essentialoilblogging.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/plant-therapy-dilution-guide.jpg

No this would be considered a carrier oil for essential oils, for the more potent ones and if you were to use it on animals or small children.

Yes! If it were peanut oil, I would tell you "NO". But Almonds are safe for baby and very healing. Much better than any commercial products which are mostly all toxic in some form or another. This oil is of excellent quality so it is not necessary to use it more than once between baths. Namaste.

I used this while breastfeeding, sometimes even before feeding the baby, and he's doing great. At some point the doctor told me I could use coconut oil. I'm not breastfeeding anymore, but now I put an empty glass jar in a bowl of boiled water, and I melt lanolin in half of the jar and then put in an equal amount of coconut oil. It's wonderful. I use it on the baby and on myself. I told my husband we won't be buying body lotion in this household anymore. This is the best.

yes it is very good for a baby's skin. Almond Oil has in it vitimin A, B1,B2,and E as well. Pure enough for even the most sensitive skin. Also a tradition to use on baby's in India and many other places. Good for craddles cap. Just don't massage on baby's hands and feet as they can end up in thier mouth.I even use it on my face and dose not clog my pores. I'm the oldest of three girls and my sisters can't believe I look the yougest as I've yet to have wrinkles around my eyes and I'm 52 years old. I hope this helps.

Good idea to use coconut oil ! They said not to put baby oil on it. it does stick out with nothing on it.

I have not actually used it with a carrier oil, but rather mix it with witch hazel for use as a tick repellent for my family and dog. It works great in that regard.

I am sure you could, one drop mixed with a couple of drops of a carrier oil might be nice. I am just not sure if it would release any toxins in the air because I am not sure how natural this is.
