I love body powders… surtout avant de me coucher. J’ai l’impression de m’envelopper dans un petit nuage. J’avais une poudre pour bébé d’une marque très connu “J * hson &J * hson” à la lavande. Été comme hiver je l’utilisais, but good… le pot est maintenant vide. A défaut d’en racheter d’une autre marque, je me suis dit que ce serait bien de m’en faire une moi même. D’autant plus que j’ai reçu il y a bien longtemps, in an order I made in Lady Glamourdise a beautiful little puff of a vintage style and made entirely by hand… j’adore !

Here is my basic recipe, Then we can add the scent you want, mica for shine effect, des ocher, oxides to color, an easily customizable quick recipe.

The powder :
80 % arrow root
10 % white clay (mattifying fantastic summer)
10 % cosmetic talc powder coated or silk (brings softness)

Optional additive :
Essential oil ( to 2%)
Natural fragrance
Mica
Ocher or oxide
Flowers


Difficulty : star greystar3 greystar3 greystar3 ––Conservation : 6 month Safe and dry

Method
Mélangez les ingrédients sec ensemble dans un bol. Ajoutez vos additifs et passez le tout dans un mixeur pendant quelques minutes afin de tout bien mélanger. Versez dans un pot poudrier ou un flacon poudrier stérile. Conservez bien sur votre mélange dans un endroit sec.

Here I added mica beige, few drops of lavender essential oil and vanilla extract.

I invite you to discover the shop Lady Glamourdises for la houppette et plusieurs autres objets. J’ai vraiment un coup de cœur pour cette boutique, Laetitia est une vraie perle. Elle a beaucoup de petits produits inédits et offre un service des plus agréable. Encore merci à elle pour ce joli cadeau !

With razor burn were often comes to be sensitive armpits. Deodorants are often very itchy and when one wants “good” deodorant it is sometimes difficult to combine sensitive skin and effectiveness. Here is a simple formula, Soft and cuddle your pretty underarm :-D.

2 g beurre de karité (soothing)
2 g apricot butter (emollient)
6.6 g of purple macerate in macadamia oil or calendula macerate
1.5 g stearic acid (consistency)
3 g cire candellila (texturant)
3 % silk protein liquid (fabric softener)
3 drops of vitamin E (antioxidant)
0.85 g white clay (absorbs odors)**
3% following essential oils :
Palmarosa (antibacterial and antifungal)
Small grain (antibacterial)*
2 drops fragrance choices (Here I took Lady Marmalade)


Difficulty :
star star greystar3greystar3 ––Conservation : 1 month —–Capacity : 15 to 17 g

Melt your butter in a bain marie, oil, Vitamin E and your two waxes. When the mixture is completely melted remove and add your clay whisking well. When the mixture is slightly cooled, (but not fixed on the edges) add your drops of silk proteins, your essential oils and fragrance your (if desired). Pour your mixture in a tube applicator quickly adapted. You will find very well in Macosmetoperso.

*If you plan to replace the solar exposures of petitgrain essential oil is photosensitizing (some are the variety… response to the comment of the Blue petitgrain bigarade would not… so do not deprive yourself ^ ^)… by one who is not like lavender or cistus.

**If you have a high sweat can add a little baking soda… but I think in the long run it becomes a little irritating if it is too large quantity. The alum powder is also.

Here is a small label to decorate your pretty tube !
