Make Your Own Bath Powder or Make It For Gifts :)

you are very creative and handy.... I can only imagine what they would get if I tried to make this stuff!!

Can't wait to try it!

WOW Marilyn...now I can make peppermint powder to match my bath gel.....this is going to be great! BTW....I went out yesterday and got the "fixings" for peppermint soap....I couldn't wait! LOL

Love this idea. I currently use a commercial cornstarch based powder and love it so much more than the talc based product. Making my own sounds great because I get the scent or even no scent powder that I want.

donna h. :) You'd get a really nice powder, it's a very easy and good for your skin, recipe.
There's been a lot of controversy over the years about talc. I've seen cosmetic grade talc on websites for sale and I hope that means it's been tested for the bad things that can be found in it.
Judith, good for you, it's a nice powder and a heck of lot less expensive than whatever's in the stores too, and it's always nice to use what you make :)
Susan, I'm surprised you haven't made a peppermint perfume oil to go with the rest of it - those are JUST as easy, I have a lavender blend, a patchouli blend, a ylang-ylang blend, in oil, no alcohol for me, and I make them in larger containers, such as 8 or 16 ounce so whenever I need some for myself or a friend, as I keep the roller bottles on-hand, all I have to do is put some in :) Instant perfume for me, or instand gift for someone else!
I'll be making rose as well as sandalwoood blends, and I've made the jasmine in a solid perfume, actually made a few of them and my "friends" have all..........but the one I'm using! So, I'll be making it again.
Pepperming bath tea is nice as well as peppermint bath salt scrub too - sets of the scents you like are great!

I can only use corn starch. Will have to make this for gifts. Thank you!

You're welcome, Sarina. Corn starch is actually much better for you than the things sold in the stores, and there are so many things that I can "only" use due to chemical sensitivitys, from perfume to powder, to most anything, that I tend to go as natural as possible. :)

That sounds like me. I think Rebecca Kolls made bath fizzies once -- any idea how to do that? Thanks for another great natural and healthy recipe.

Bath fizzies? Sure, I posted it here.... somewhere, they're easy and fun to make too.. hang on, I'll find the article :)

Wow That looks so easy...can I add a few drops of my faverite perfume to it instead of the oil or will it ruin faster?

Hi Connie,
Your perfume is ok to add, for yourself, and make just a little as your perfume is probably? a fragrance with alcohol in it? I'm allergic to commercial perfumes but since you're not, you ought to be able to. Enjoy, as it's always nice to have "everything" match!

I just love all of this information...
