  Bath powder problem

  Posted by Karo_lina on February 15, 2022 at 12:07 pm

  Hi
  I made a bath powder which consists of 40% coconut milk powder 20% sodium chloride 15% sodium bicarbonate 10% corn starch ( the rest are fragrance, flowers etc.) . After 5 months, it clumps up. Is there anything I can add to keep the product from clumping and keep it powdered?

  It’s probably taking up some moisture- how do you package/store?

  Would a silica gel desiccant sachet (packet) help?
