Kaolin clay, arrowroot and dried herbs. A talc-free powder for after the bath.
What You’ll Need
12oz.white (Kaolin) clay
6oz.organic arrowroot powder
4tsp.organic marshmallow root powder
4tsp.organic comfrey root powder
2Tbsp.organic myrrh gum powder (leave out for an everyday body powder)
Optional: up to 10 drops organic lavender essential oil, or organic lavandin, rose, or helichrysum hydrosol
Directions
Sift the clay and arrowroot together, then stir well.
Add the dry herb powders and stir thoroughly.
If you are using an oil or hydrosol, add it one drop at a time, mixing well between drops so it doesn't clump.
Keep in a sealed container in a dry spot.
Notes
Keep sealed and dry. A shaker jar or puff works for applying. This is an adult body powder: loose powders can be inhaled, and pediatric guidance discourages powder near babies' faces. Safety: avoid breathing the dust; not on broken skin (comfrey is best kept off open skin and avoided in pregnancy); keep from pets; hydrosols add water, so add only a few drops and let it dry fully.
