Over 60,000 lawsuits resulted from one formulation. The legal and settlement costs alone now run in the billions of dollars. I'm talking about talc-based baby powder, a product that was in millions of homes for over a century before it was withdrawn from sale in 2023.
So here's what we're going to do instead. In this video, I'm showing you how to make a baby powder without talc, using plant-based ingredients that you can pronounce, sources you can trace, and methods you can see.
It contains arrowroot, corn starch, kaolin clay, and gentle botanicals like chamomile. It's incredibly simple; we're basically just mixing powders in a bowl, but the results are professional and luxurious because the ingredients absorb moisture, reduce friction, and leave your skin feeling silky smooth.
And just to add, we're calling it 'baby powder' because that's what everyone knows it as, but we're firmly of the opinion that babies don't need skincare. This dusting powder is aimed at everyone.
