Hi Lynn,
I use a Dr.Mills coffee grinder. It works so good that sometimes it is so powdery, I have to scrape it out. I think any strong coffee grinder will do the trick. I have so many babies in my family, I make it all the time. I never get any complaints on the texture.
Hope this helps

I used peppermint oil on me and it doesn’t feel good.

“Only on proper places.” ? People use powder WHEREVER they want to feel dry and comfortable. The “proper places” are subjected.

I make deodorant that I put EO’s into. Yes it clumps, I just use a fork to distribute it. Someone above mentioned a coffee grinder. Good idea. I’m going to buy one designated for only things with EO’s. Like the idea of the cotton ball as well.

Don’t know much about all this, but I’ve seen in other baby powder making sites they use a coffee grind to mix ingredients. Wonder if this makes more finely ground flowers that may not be so scratchy? I hope this works. I am going to try it and heard that Calendula is a great ingredient for healing and might just be very helpful for some of babies issues.

Where do you find the chamomile and calendula flowers?

I have all the ingredients because I make soap but I’ve never been able to grind calendula into a powder. Ground, yes. Gentle enough to put on a baby? No way. It would be gritty. Scratchy. Even just minimally is too much for a baby. I adore calendula infused oil (sunflower is best because they work together somehow, I can’t recall how, I just know they do) and I noticed someone mentioned they used olive oil. I think I would try that. But then I also make a wonderful, healing beeswax balm, lol. That would be good as well!

Over the years I have took care of everyone making remedies and other things but never really took care of myself. Thanks to post like yours, I’m just about convert using homemade products. I still have a few things to change, but, now at 58, realize I am worthy. Thank you for all you do!

He puts an insane amount on his feet every morning to help with sweating ward off athletes foot. Could oregano oil be added to this to help with the anti-fungal? I? know it’s a pretty potent powder but was wondering if being mixed with the arrowroot powder would dilute it enough.

I use cornstarch with a couple drops of tea tree oil and peppermint oil for my daughter. She has numerous allergies which leaves her with hives and itchy skin all over. It has certainly helped her.

The baby powder I normally use is just arrow root powder and coconut powder its called natures paradise organic coconut baby powder I refuse to use any thing else but its expensive so I just started making my own. I use organic coconut flour since its just super fine coconut.

I use lanolin for my little ones–the main ingredient in A&D ointment. Only a little is needed as the lanolin that I use is 100% pure. Any diaper rash will be gone within hours. Lanolin is also good for eczema as well as for use for sore/ cracked nipples after nursing. I use the Now Foods brand.
