By Sharon Thompson


Generally, most people purchase products from shops which they may not be certain of their contents. Most of these can usually be made even from home where there is much more certainty of the ingredients that go in. This is actually beneficial for a product like baby powder. With the right ingredients, a person can always make organic and natural baby powder from home. As a result, you can avoid expensive purchases of chemical-filled products for various uses.

The self-making process of the product is not only simple but also very cheap. In addition, the recipes can always be adjusted to give more satisfaction. Because of the reliance on self-picked organic and natural products, you will easily avoid the use of chemicals that usually present various side effects when applied to the skin or even when accidentally inhaled.

Having your own homemade powder will effectively assist in addressing matters pertaining to rashes developing on kids when they use diapers. However, you need to test the ingredients and determine their mode of reaction to the skin so that none that presents severe effects is used. Apart from their use on babies, a homemade baby powder can also be used by a grown up. For example, the product can be used to freshen shoes.

They can as well be used on the feet as an antibacterial agent and in avoiding instances of stinky feet. Other uses also include freshening of carpets by sprinkling small amounts before vacuuming the carpet, pain relief from waxing as well as being used as dry shampoos among other uses.

There are various ingredients that can be utilized in making baby powder. These are such as arrowroot flour or powdered arrowroot. Arrowroot flour can be obtained in various regions around the world. The flour remains very good at moisture absorbing and is usually slippery and smooth. Another usable ingredient is the bentonite clay usually got from volcanic ash. The clay exists in as three compounds including Potassium Bentonite, Sodium Bentonite, and Calcium Bentonite. It possessed excellent moisture absorbing properties and has the capabilities of removing impurities.

Since the product needs to act as a healing agent, calendula flowers are added. They contain healing properties which are capable of treating the skin and wounds. Other properties found in them are astringent, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties. This makes it suitable for sterilizing wounds, burns, cuts and bruises. It also works for body acne as a cleanser. After its use, it leaves an appealing effect.

You can also add dried lavender flowers. These have a nice smell and are good at healing burns. Another ingredient is essential oils. You can use some drops of lavender and calendula oils to boost the scent and healing properties of your powdered product. Other beneficial oils like the rose oil may as well be incorporated.

The ingredients that are wholly solid can be milled using blenders or food mixers before being sieved to get the finest particles. All these are then mixed in a bowl to give the final product. Once your natural and organic powder is ready, you can store it in any kind of container and put it to various uses.
