With all the reports about the questionable use of talcum powder, why not make your own body powder? It’s economical, natural, customizable, and easy! Package it in a cute tin, a glass jar, a sealed paper bag, or in a fancy salt or parmesan shaker with a raffia bow, and you have a great homemade gift!

In a zipper bag, add 1 cup of arrowroot powder or bentonite clay. (If using bentonite clay, be sure to add at least a little arrowroot to make it finer and silkier).

Then, add 20-30 drops of your favorite Young Living essential oil or blend (you can add more if you want a stronger scent).

Store finished mixture in a glass container with a tight fitting lid and sprinkle or fluff on body when needed!
