It should be whatever the shelf life is on the cod liver oil you buy (and kept refrigerated if your cod liver oil requires refrigeration).

Ive always read to not have it touch metal either. I use silicone or wood to stir it, always.

To follow up with that, is that why you don’t have it in your balm?

I’ve read that the Earth Mama Diaper Balm is safe for cloth diapers. It has olive oil in it though. Do you not suggest olive oil as an ingredient? And why?

I wish hospitals would use Kaite’s ideas!

I have used with cloth diapers in the past though it seems like there are varying opinions if any oils should be used with cloth diapers.

Hi thanks for recipe. I made this with pure coconut oil and zinc powder but its pure liquid! Do you think I can fix it and make it more firm with just those 2 ingredients?

I’ve never used zinc in mine ,but I did use a powder and I used a blender to fully mix it all. Best of wishes.

Those substitutions should work!

Loving this rash cream!
Even if I didn’t have the fermented cod liver ingredient, after reading about the comments I decided to give it a go which works perfectly.

I have nano zinc oxide for making sunscreen, will it work for diaper rash cream as well? Also, do you think cocoa butter is ok in place of shea butter? I’m just trying to use what I have on hand so I don’t have to go out. Thank you!

Hi, it says use within 3 months? I made mine without the liver oil and essential oil. Does it go bad after 3 months?

Thanks
Angelique

I was gonna double the recipe and add a carrior oil like Avocado that has been infused with chamomile, rose, cauldula flower instead of the coconut oil for the 2nd recipe. I thought there was a warning on Bentonite clay??

Zinc Oxide shouldn’t be used on cloth diapers. I plan to skip the the zinc oxide, where my daughter uses cloth as well.
