Body Powder is refreshing and keeps your dry.  But, with all the harmful ingredients in store- brought body powder, one is afraid to use it. Make your own safe and natural body powder in a few minutes with a few ingredients you may have on hand.

This is all you need to make your own natural body powder:

arrowroot powder

cornstarch

baking soda

ground herbs (opt.)

essential oil (opt.)

 Here’s the recipe

1/4 cup arrowroot powder

1/8 cup cornstarch

1/16 cup baking soda

1 tablespoon ground herbs or flowers (opt.)

15 drops essential of your choice (opt.)

Simply mix all the ingredients in a glass or stoneware bowl until well mixed.   Using a funnel, spoon your body powder in a sifter container.  Or, if you wish, place in a used powder puff container.

My favorite recipe for summer

1/4 cup arrowroot powder

1/8 cup cornstarch

1/16 cup baking soda

1 tablespoon ground peppermint leaves

15 drops peppermint essential oil

I mix it all together, and use it under my arms and breast to stay dry and cool.  You can sprinkle it in your shoes, socks, and underwear for a refreshing scent and stay comfortable too.
