Tips for using coconut soap for baby

Baby clothes need to be washed with neutral and odorless products. Therefore, we recommend using coconut baby soap. However, as the baby’s clothes cannot smell, avoid using essential oils when following the neutral coconut soap recipe.

If you are going to wash delicate items by hand with coconut baby soap, do not soak the items for too long (the maximum is 20m). Then, rub with the neutral coconut soap and rinse the piece well to eliminate all the soap. There’s no mystery!
