Cornstarch is a great replacement for baby power. It has been used for years to combat perspiration and chaffing. Most of our parents if not grandparents used it on our bottoms.
I'll try to leave my rants about big business and government regulations out of my posts. The Internet is full of information so take a minute after you read each post and research for yourself the ingredients in commercial products so you can make your own decision to switch.
Talc or Talcum is the main ingredient in commercially produced powders, again I'll let you do your own research....it should concern you. If it doesn't read the MSDS. Even commercially products "cornstarch" formulas contain other active ingredients that do not benefit you.
Use it plain or dress it up with your favorite essential oil. If you've never used essential oils before there are a couple links below to get you started.
Blend desired amount of cornstarch with essential oil of choice
Pour contents into a shakable container (old spice shaker) lined with a piece of tulle.
Note: the tulle provides a finer powder sprinkle)
Whatever you use doesn't have to be fancy, just a way to shake out the powder.
Allow the mix to dry up over a couple days and shake away.
Mix 5-8 skin safe essential oil drops depending on the type of oil and amount of cornstarch used.
Your new powder is ready for your whole family.
