Add moisture to your homemade body powder recipe with a little bit of aloe vera gel.
Some people like to use this powder as a deodorant. If that's your goal, mix equal parts baking soda with arrowroot powder and a little cinnamon.
If you have trouble with humidity making your powder clump up, add some uncooked grains of rice into the mix. It's the same idea as putting them into a salt shaker to absorb the moisture.
