Sweet Lavender Body Powder

. 1 cup cornstarch

NOTE: The cool thing about this recipe is that it can be modified in so many ways. You can delete the baking soda altogether, you can use a variety of different powders such as arrowroot, white clay, oat flour and chickpea flour, you can use an essential oil of your choice and you can add dried herbs (finely ground) to your powder. Below are some herb choices for you to consider: 

  • Chamomile

  • Thyme
  • Rose petals and/or buds

Mmm...handmade with mucho love!!
