Aloe & Chamomile Baby Powder

Did you know that conventional baby powders contain talc?  Talc is an ingredient that can cause some pretty alarming heath problems. Here is a great recipe from The Natural Beauty Workshop called Aloe & Chamomile Baby Powder recipe which starts out with a base of gentle, absorbent Kaolin Clay.  To add a silky texture, arrowroot powder and cornstarch.  Then aloe soothes the skin and conditions the skin.  If your baby's skin is prone to yeast infections or you suspect a yeast issue is brewing, then it is a good idea to omit the cornstarch from the recipe.  If you need to subsitute the cornstarch with additional portion of arrowroot.
