RE: suggested EOs for underarm powder?

[Guest guest]

Hi Risa

This recipe calls for unscented talc, but there is no reason you can't use

the base you have. I've left out the talc. but it uses 1/2 a cup of the

stuff.

1/2 cup arrowroot powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1 tablespoon dried and powdered sage leaves

same of lavender flowers and rosemary leaves

20 drops lavender oil

20 drops clary sage

10 drops rosemary oil

10 drops patchouli oil

Seive all ingredients into a large bowl. Add the oils a drop at a time to

the dried ingredients. Stir constantly to prevent clumping. Store in air

tight container.

After i typed this out I realise you only wanted the EO's to use.

So here is a different one.

clary sage, lavender,thyme, patchouli and sandalwood.

suggested EOs for underarm powder?

hi all -

i'm trying to concoct a good underarm powder for the summer. don't i would

start with a base of corn starch, oat starch, and baking soda, and 'whip' my

eos in. i was going to do a lavender/myrrh combo but i thought, before i

start experimenting, maybe one of you would have recommendations? the only

eos i can't use for this purpose are rose-based. :>
