Silky and Herbal Body Powder Recipe
This natural body powder is fragrant and has a luxurious silky feeling to your skin. It is moisturizing, gently absorbent, and wonderful even for the most sensitive skin. Use this as a replacement to commercial body powders that usually have talcum powder or talc in them. Research has shown that talc can be linked to certain cancers.
This powder makes a lovely gift to yourself or someone you love!
Recipe
1 cup White Kaolin Powder
½ cup Arrowroot Powder
3 TBSP Organic dried Lavender, Rose buds or Rose bud powder, or Chamomile dried flowers (you will need to grind the dried buds or dried flowers into a powder by using a coffee grinder-this ensures that the powder can easily come through a shaker)
2 tsp silk peptide powder (may omit if you wish but this makes your powder have a very silky lovely feel for your skin)
20 drops Lavender essential oil
20 drops Chamomile essential oil
10 drops Ylang Ylang or Frankincense essential oil
*You can completely omit the essential oils if you wish or use any essential oil or blend of essential oils in this recipe that you enjoy -40-50 drops in total
Mix all ingredients together and place in a container with a shaker top. You may place 1 TBSP of uncooked white rice grains into the bottom of the shaker bottle to prevent clumping of the powder. Store in a dark, cool place.
