The Process Of Making Organic And Natural Baby Powder At Home

By Sharon Thompson


There are many products that make it to the market without verification for their quality and therefore may contain harmful substances that may harm your health or the wellbeing of your children. Some of the ingredients used in these products may be substandard and the user may not be aware. It is, therefore, preferable to make some products at home where you can monitor the contents that are used. Such a product is the organic and natural baby powder which with the proper method and ingredients can be produced at home. It also saves on money spent on expensive market products.

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 naturally made baby powder can effectively help in addressing issues such as rashes that develop when kids use diapers. Nevertheless, you should always test the ingredient used to see which will react with the skin and use only a little portion or none of it. Apart from use on kids, such a homemade product can as well be used by adults. For instance, you can use it for freshening shoes.

Most of the times, feet produce an unpleasant stench that makes people uncomfortable. This product can be used as an antibacterial to avoid such a situation. Other situations where it is used is in freshening the bedding, the carpet and also minimizing pain after being waxed.

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.

Another ingredient is dried calendula flowers. This usually encourages the healing of the skin from wounds. It also possesses properties such as antimicrobial, astringent, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, immunostimulant, and antiviral properties. It is, therefore, useful in treating and disinfecting minor wounds, scrapes, burns, conjunctivitis, cuts, bruises, and foot acne among other skin-related conditions. Dried chamomile flowers are also a good ingredient for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. They also have a soothing effect.

Since the product is used for kids, it needs to have a pleasant smell. The use of dried lavender flowers is essential in giving the product a lovely scent. It also enhances the healing factors of the powder. Other than dried flowers, their respective oils can be used in small quantities to amplify effectiveness.

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.
