Unfortunately, there weren\u2019t good answers to most of my questions. One product I was surprised to find had problematic ingredients was baby powder.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-problem-with-baby-powder\">The Problem with Baby Powder\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Innocent though it seems, baby powder often has some hidden ingredients. Up until recently companies like Johnson &amp; Johnson used talcum powder as the main ingredient in their baby powder. The problem is talc is commonly contaminated with cancer causing asbestos. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugwatch.com\/talcum-powder\/lawsuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">57,000 lawsuits later<\/a>, J&amp;J recently swapped out the talc for corn starch in their talc-free baby powder.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the new formulations though there are still some issues for sensitive skin. There\u2019s the fragrance which is linked with allergen concerns and endocrine disruption. Or the benzyl salicylate which has a high risk of allergies and immunotoxicity\u2026 but only if it\u2019s in powder form.<\/p>\n<p>When I had really little ones, I wanted personal care products that were also safe for my baby\u2019s skin. Thankfully there are natural baby powders and baby products out there that are safe on baby\u2019s bottom.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-make-your-own-homemade-baby-powder\">Make Your Own Homemade Baby Powder<\/h2>\n<p>I did find a few good store-bought alternatives, like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baby-Powder-Talc-Free-Organic\/dp\/B01CTCSZBW?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=wellnessmama-20&amp;linkId=ccccb31835d62c87f71bed6d152747bc&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">organic one from Eraorganics <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000NZQXQ2\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Little Twig Baby Powder<\/a>. However, I wanted to find a good DIY version. I suspected if I could make it, I\u2019d save money and be able to customize it.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some body care recipes that require many attempts before I find a recipe I love, this one was relatively simple. Just a natural powder of some kind and optional herbs or essential oils.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-baby-powder-ingredients\">Baby Powder Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>I settled on using <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/go\/arrowroot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">arrowroot powder<\/a> or organic cornstarch as the base and added powdered herbs like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Frontier-Organic-Chamomile-Flowers-German\/dp\/B001VNGN9C\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">chamomile<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/go\/calendula\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">calendula<\/a> to sooth sore bottoms. Some recipes add some blend of kaolin clay, baking soda, or tapioca starch. I\u2019ve also experimented with adding a few drops of chamomile <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/go\/essential-oils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">essential oil<\/a> and it worked really well too. Tea tree or lavender essential oil are good substitutes if you don\u2019t have chamomile.<\/p>\n<p>I found this was easiest to use when I stored it in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000JUTCEQ\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">powdered sugar shaker. <\/a>I also package homemade baby powder in these with a recipe card of how to make more when I give this as a baby gift.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about what comes in contact with your baby\u2019s delicate skin, consider making your own baby powder.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-397758\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"397758\" data-servings=\"0.5\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-compact-howto\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Homemade Baby Powder Recipe<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"display: block;\">This simple recipe features soothing ingredients for baby&#8217;s bottom.

Women have used it for decades as part of their skincare routine. Body powder helps absorb excess sweat and moisture on skin. It\u2019s also helpful to keep baby\u2019s bottom dry to prevent diaper rash. And when you add soothing herbs it can help the skin recover faster.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Baby Skincare Recipes<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a little one or are looking for some baby shower gifts give one of these recipes a try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you made your own baby skincare products before?
