DIY Body Powder For A Refreshing Smell That Lasts!

Refreshing and Lasting Homemade Body Powder

Body powders or "baby powders" used to contain talcum or talc powder, an ingredient that began to become of concern to many users due to potential deleterious health effects. Many companies have eliminated using these powders and are starting to use starches instead. 

Personally, I prefer to make my own products. Many of the powders available in the store use the term "fragrance" as part of their list of known ingredient. Beware however, fragrance is an umbrella term with very little regulation that can mean nearly anything!

To assure that I control a majority of my ingredients in my products, I tend to make my own personal care items whenever possible. Body powder is one of them. Here is what I do for a homemade DIY body powder...

​Ingredients for DIY Body Powder:
  • 1/2 cup Arrowroot powder 
  • 1/4 cup Kaolin Clay 
  • 1/4 cup Magnesium Carbonate Powder or Baking Soda if desired
  • 8 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 8 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • 5 drops Rosemary Essential Oil 
  • 4 oz. glass jar

Directions for DIY Body Powder:
  • Blend arrowroot, kaolin clay and magnesium carbonate well in a small bowl.
  • Add desired essential oils and blend well to distribute the essential oils.

Helpful Tips:
  • Store in an air-tight container.
  • Apply to under arms, feet and any other areas you want to keep dry.
  • Follow safety for using all essential oils. I personally follow guidelines from Desk Reference Guide 
  • I always test before using on sensitive skin and sensitive areas 
As always, if you are new to essential oils and do not have any of your own, consider a premium starter kit from Young Living. This is widely regarded as the simplest way to get started with essential oils. When signing up for your first kit, you will have the opportunity to choose one of our leaders. This is an important step as they will provide you with ongoing support for the lifetime of your Young Living journey at no added cost to you!
