directions

  • Combine the baking soda and cornstarch in a big glass jar.
  • Add the essential oil, a few drops at a time, shaking very well after each addition.
  • (You can use a small wire whisk or fork to get out any clumps.) Test the scent of the bath powder after each addition to get a powder that's perfectly scented for you.
  • (Some people like a strongly scented product, others like a very subtle scent- it's up to you!) Allow the powder to sit for about a day before using, to let the fragrance or essential oil completely absorb.
  • This is a wonderful, simple recipe that you'll use for years to make your own wonderful bath powder!
