Body Powder for Men
This invigorating body powder for men helps keep skin dry while leaving behind masculine notes of eucalyptus and cedarwood. Perfect for men's body powder!
Prep Time 25 minutes
Mix Time 5 minutes
Servings 8 ounces
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons eucalyptus leaf powder (or grind up eucalyptus leaves)
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 12 drops cedarwood essential oil (Juniperus virginiana)
- 2 tablespoons jojoba oil
- 1 pint mason jar with lid
- 1 funnel
- 2 bowls
Instructions
-
Begin making your men's body powder by combining 2 tablespoons ground eucalyptus powder with 1 cup arrowroot powder in a large bowl. Stir well to mix.
-
Measure 2 tablespoons of jojoba and 12 drops of cedarwood essential oil into a small bowl. Stir well to completely dilute all essential oil.
-
Add oil mixture to powder mixture. Stir well, breaking up clumps as they form. I used a fork to help mash up any clumps. This may take several minutes of stirring, but it will save you from having large clumps in your jar!
-
Using a funnel or a spoon, transfer body powder to a mason jar.
-
Cap tightly and store in a cool, dry, dark place. Use as needed.
Notes
This recipe is more of a bulk quantity. It makes over 8 ounces (dry) ounces of body powder which will surely last for some time. However, since the ingredients are all dry and the jojoba oil has a fairly long shelf life, it can keep for about 6 months.
If using eucalyptus leaves, use an herb grinder or mortar and pestle to grind into a fine powder. There may be fibers left in your powder, so sift these out using a fine mesh strainer.
