Baby Powder

Baby Powder

Wonderful for irritated skin and diaper rashes, this healing and soothing herbal baby powder recipe is 100% natural. You can also formulate a less medicinal ”everyday” body powder by leaving out the goldenseal and myrrh powder. Either recipe can be lightly scented with a few drops of pure organic essential oil if you’d like – just keep in mind that these oils are highly concentrated, so less is best for baby.

Ingredients

-12 ounces White Clay

-6 ounces organic Arrowroot Powder
-4 teaspoons organic Marshmallow Root Powder
-4 teaspoons organic Comfrey Root Powder
-2 teaspoons Myrrh Gum Powder
-1 teaspoon organic Goldenseal Root Powder

-Optional: no more than 10 drops of organic Sweet Orange or Lavender Essential Oil

Directions

1. Sift clay and arrowroot powder together and stir well. 

2. Add the herb powders and mix thoroughly.

3. If using essential oil, add drop by drop and mix well. 

4. Store in a sealed container in a dry place until needed.
