Body Powder: A Rose-Scented DIY Recipe
I was never a body powder user until I created this homemade recipe. It's a natural rose DIY body powder that smells beautiful and leaves my skin silky soft!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon rose powder (powdered rose petals)
- 1 tablespoon white cosmetic clay (also known as kaolin clay)
- 1 teaspoon camellia seed oil
- 3 drops geranium essential oil (Pelargonium roseum)
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Recycled spice jar
- 1 funnel
Instructions
-
If starting from rose petals, use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder and grind rose petals into a fine powder
-
Pour rose powder into a small bowl and add clay and arrowroot powder
-
Stir well to combine
-
Measure out a teaspoon of camellia seed oil into another small container
-
Add 3 drops of rose geranium (Pelargonium Roseum) to the camellia seed oil and stir well to combine
-
Add oil mixture to powder mixture and stir well with a fork until no lumps remain
-
Using a funnel, pour powder mixture into a clean and sterilized spice jar.
-
Cap and store in a cool, dry, dark place
Notes
This homemade body powder will last 4-6 months when stored properly. I generally use mine before then as this recipe is enough for one spice jar. You can also omit the oils for longer shelf life.
