Rose ‘talcum’ powder

Commercial talcum powder contains talc (hydrated magnesium silicate), a natural mineral. You can make a similar body powder using cornflower and essential oils. I've used my favourites oils to scent this recipe. You can use different essential oils, but make sure they're not irritating to your skin before using them.

Ingredients

25g cornflour

5 drops rose absolute essential oil 4 drops chamomile essential oil

Method

1

Grind the essential oils into a small amount of the cornflower using a mortar and pestle. 2

Mix through the remaining cornflour. 3

Allow the powder to dry, then pour into a clean powder dispenser, and store in a dry place.
