The Best Natural Dusting Powders In India You Need to Try.

Last Updated on April 2, 2024

With the onset of summers, it’s time to start using dusting powders to stay sweat-free and smell fresh all day. But if you like using natural skincare, then your dusting powder has to be natural too, right?

Sadly, most dusting powders in the market are made with talc. Talc is a soft, mineral-based white powder used in cosmetics for its great moisture-absorbing capabilities.

It can keep your skin dry by absorbing sweat. However, there have been concerns about using talcum powders, especially in private areas. Because talc can often be contaminated with asbestos, a carcinogen.

So we need to use a certified asbestos-free dusting powder(rare to find) or switch to a natural dusting powder instead which is much more safer.

Natural dusting powders are made with ingredients like arrowroot powder and cornstarch which help absorb sweat. And unlike talcum powder, the fragrance is derived from herbs and essential oils which reduces chances of skin irritation.

These dusting powders also offer extra benefits like-

• fighting body acne
• soothing your skin
• and providing a cooling sensation.

And yes, natural dusting powders are safe to use on your baby too!

Where to Find Natural Dusting Powder in India?

The most economical choice is to make your own natural dusting powder using simple kitchen ingredients. You can easily create an unscented DIY dusting powder at home using arrowroot powder, cornstarch, rice flour, or even some natural clays. if you sweat a lot.

And if you wish to add some fragrance to it, you can use grounded herbs and flowers like lavender, rose, chamomile, orange peel etc. Another option is to add essential oils but it can get tricky to use the right amount that is under the dermal limits. Here are some DIY beauty brands where you will find all these ingredients

But if DIYs are not your thing, I have compiled below a list of some natural dusting powders in India that will suit different budgets.
