Additional Recipes For Homemade Baby And Body Powders

Super Gentle Baby Powder

With only the most gentle ingredients, this blend is what I’d recommend if you plan on using this baby powder on actual babies. Ask your pediatrician before using this – or any – powder on babies younger than 3 months.

3/4 cup Arrowroot powder
1/4 cup Kaolin Clay
Up to 10 drops Calendula, Lavender or Chamomile essential oil (optional)

All-Purpose, All-Over Body Powder

Gentle enough for adults to use all over as a body powder. The essential oils recommended here remind me of a more “traditional” feminine baby powder smell; if you prefer a more gender-neutral scent, try the essential oil options recommended in the Super Dry Moisture Absorbing Powder, below.

3/4 cup Arrowroot powder (substitute all or part cornstarch if desired)
1/4 cup Kaolin Clay
1 tbsp. Magnesium Carbonate powder (sub Baking Soda if desired)
10 drops Lavender essential oil (optional)
5 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil (optional)
5 drops Rosewood essential oil (optional)
Blend arrowroot, kaolin clay and magnesium carbonate well in a small bowl. Add essential oils, if using, and blend well to distribute the essential oils. Store in an air-tight container.
To apply, sprinkle a small amount of powder onto your hand or directly onto your skin, then smooth the powder over your skin. Avoid the face and neck, and be cautious about other sensitive areas of the body. Avoid inhaling any body powder.
