Fragrant Baby Powder

I found this recipe online, and thought it would be a good idea. Now the better idea is to add TeaTree Oil for nappy rashes. Now all I need to do is work out how much it would cost to make this and see if it makes more sense to let Elizabeth Annes (c) make it or make it myself. (Paul is really rubbing off on me)


- 225g cornstarch (Maizena here in South Africa)
- 3 drops lavender essential oil (again after some research, add some tea tree and lavender oil)

- Place cornstarch in a self-sealing plastic bag and add the essential oil drop by drop.
- Tightly close the bag and shake it to distribute the oil, breaking up any clumps through the bag.
- Let stand 4 days to distribute the essential oil. Use with every diaper change, or as needed.
- Potato starch or arrowroot powder can be used instead of cornstarch.

- Spice or salt shakers with large perforations in their lids make good powder containers.

After reviewing this recipe, and making sure of the measurements, I definitely think it would be cheaper to make this than to buy it...
