How to make healthy
baby powder recipes

Homemade baby powder recipes will eliminate friction and keep skin soft, smooth and dry. Healthy and safer than Johnson's and Johnson's talcum powder.

Easy Lavender Baby Powder

½ pound cornstarch
¼ teaspoon lavender essential oil

Place cornstarch in a self-sealing plastic bag and add the essential oil drop by drop. Tightly close the bag and shake it to distribute the oil, breaking up any clumps through the bag. Let stand 4 days to distribute the essential oil. Use with every diaper change, or as needed.

Potato starch or arrowroot powder can be used instead of cornstarch. Spice or salt shakers with large perforations in their lids make good baby powder containers

Healthy Baby Powder

1 ounce powdered chamomile
1 ounce powdered marigold flowers
1 ounce oat or oatmeal powder
1/2 ounce comfrey root powder
1/2 ounce powdered eggshells
1/2 ounce cornstarch (optional)

Powder herbs in a coffee grinder. Sift through a very fine sifter, then bottle. If heat rash is a problem, add cornstarch.

Fragrant Baby Powder

2 ounces cornstarch
2 ounces arrowroot powder
1 Tbsp kaolin clay
10 drops sweet orange essential oil
5 drops ylang-ylang essential oil
5 drops rose geranium essential oil

Place powders in a self-sealing plastic bag and add the essential oil drop by drop. Tightly close the bag and shake it to distribute the oil, breaking up any clumps through the bag. Let stand 4 days to distribute the essential oil. Use with every diaper change, or as needed.

Note: If you are looking for high-quality therapeutic grade essential oils, I highly recommend Young Living. I am simply in love with their products, they are a part of nearly every facet of my life.

General Safety Information

General Safety Information:. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children.
