Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Has anyone here made their own talc/powder? I would like to make a simple batch of natural dusting powder with tea tree oil and lavender or other EO's. Suggestions? Recipes? Ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 I make a scented cornstarch powder. I usually add about a teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of cornstarch that I use. I put it all in a jar and add several drops of essential oil and close it up nice and tight and shake it really well. Let it sit overnight and adjust the scent if need be after it's had a chance to infuse the powder. Go easy on the scent...you can always add more. If you have it too strong you can certainly add more cornstarch too. I have tried this in a shaker but find that cornstarch tends to clump a lot so I switched to a puff instead. I just made one from some fake fur. You can also use arrowroot powder if you'd rather...it works the same as cornstarch does for me. Good luck!
