1/4 cup powdered lavender flowers

1/4 cup powdered rose petals

1 tablespoon zinc oxide powder

1/2 teaspoon essential oil of lavender

10 drops essential oil of rose (optional)

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl or food processor. Add the essential oils a few drops at a time and thoroughly incorporate into the powder. Store this in a special shaker container or recycled spice jar. Use within one year.
