Oleocalcareous Liniment

Definition:

Liniment is an ancestral recipe from the south of France where it was used to clean babies and especially for the toilet seat.

The oleo-limestone liniment is a natural product, based on olive oil (oleo) and calcium hydroxide (limestone). The latter is commonly referred to as limewater.

This mixture has the consistency of a semi-thick yellow milk.



Use :

The liniment cleans the baby's bottom wonderfully and replaces milk bath and other wet wipes. Just put a little nut of the mixture on a cotton or washable towel. There is no need to rinse and this would be counterproductive, as its texture leaves a protective greasy film that evitate friction and moisture from the layers.

Some moms use it as a make-up remover, to remove remnants of wax or plaster, as a nourishing cream, etc.

It can also be used against infants' crusts of milk or to wash the face of older children.

A bottle with a soap pump is very suitable for putting the necessary amount on the cotton. Limewater has cleansing and purifying properties and in addition neutralizes urine urine.



Conservation:

Store away from light and heat. Shake before use if necessary.



Variations:

The liniment can be made with different oils in which flowers have macerated. For example, the calendula macerate (marigold flowers), plant soothing and anit-inflammatory virtues, is ideal in cases of dirritations of the baby seat or for the delicate skin of newborns.
