Coconut oil has become the most useful thing in our cupboards, we use it for cooking, skin care, hair, and even baby bum cream! The question on everyone's mind: is it cloth safe? Yes and No. 


We suggest you should be careful with coconut oil as it has a tendency of coating the top layers of fabrics. This may harm your product's ability to absorb - known as repelling. The oil can leave the material sticky and attract dust as well - but a little is usually ok, as reported by our users. Use it sparingly and at your own risk, and keep your eyes peeled for repelling!


Particularly with diapers, creams, lotions and coconut oil are often used with the purpose of keeping your baby's skin protected against the diaper and all the irritants that can cause rashes from disposables. If you use Lil Helper cloth diapers you generally don't need any kinds of creams our oils. 


Our products are made with cloth which is completely safe and CPSIA compliant to ensure it has no heavy metals, lead, phthalates and other forever chemicals. So you don't need to worry about your baby's skin.
