| calendula & chamomile baby cream by Stella Crown |
I wanted to post this recipe since October 2016, when my niece was born, but as usual, I didn’t find the time to do it. Better late than never, so here is the soft & nourishing cream for your baby's delicate skin which is also suitable for older children.. like me for example 😜😂😂
