Make Your Own Dusting Powder!

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!
