Lavender Talcum Powder

It is simplest to begin with commercial unperfumed talcum powder, but arrowroot or cornflour can be used too. Use a mortar and pestle to pulverise dried lavender flowers to as fine a powder as possible. Sieve through a fine mesh. Mix together equal quantities of sieved lavender and talcum powder or flour. Add a few drops of essential oil of lavender. Mix thoroughly, sieve once more and bottle attractively.
