Description
Patchouli and Lavender are a combination often associated with the movements during the '60's and '70's. Patchouli has a wet earth woodsy smell, a long lingering fragrance that can become a favorite.
<br />Patchouli can come on rather strong so lavender adds its mellowing, balancing touch.
<br />
<br />There are a variety of natural substances which can be used for homemade powders other than talc (magnesium silicate). This formula uses tapioca starch powder, baking soda and kaolin clay powder. Tapioca starch and sodium bicarbonate are used for their wonderful absorption. Kaolin clay is often used in masks and baths for its exfoliating and skin softening qualities. Useful for dusting powders because it doesn't draw the natural oils from your skin.
<br />
<br />Powders are wonderful following a bath or shower. Sprinkle as desired to use as a body, foot or shoe powder in order to freshen and absorb excess moisture.
