I have noticed sometimes if I sweat a fair amount it can leave a bit of an oil mark, but this usually seems to wash out. I hope that helps and all the best to you :) Danielle @ Poor and Gluten Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836360004405159423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-59378472413636725872016-05-08T04:11:53.722-07:002016-05-08T04:11:53.722-07:00Hi Danielle,

Coconut oil is solid at a typical room temp, olive oil is not (and often is not at all). I keep my coconut oil in temperatures below about 22C, or else it melts. Most of the time it's fine in my apartment, but in the summertime I keep it in the fridge.

If I were to try the rice flour I think it's a good idea to make sure it's a very finely ground flour (like the Asian ones, which I find are finer than some North American ones), so that it's not too abrasive when you rub it in. And yes! I've been looking in to making my own powders as well and recently made one with some rice flour and cocoa as a bronzer, and used a blush brush for it. I really like it :) Danielle @ Poor and Gluten Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836360004405159423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-44675345740358356312014-03-13T16:38:37.502-07:002014-03-13T16:38:37.502-07:00Neat recipe.

I have mixed it with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice or ginger. If you have carob you can try it. I keep it refrigerated and apply with a cotton ball. Read women in China use rice flour as a facial sun screen when working in their fields.It seems to work that way for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-63025035605770939302013-12-03T07:36:58.155-08:002013-12-03T07:36:58.155-08:00That's so great, Rosanne!

My local co-op also sells it in the bulk section. <br /><br />Otherwise you *could* use non-GMO cornstarch *if* you are comfortable with it (this depends on you and your personal feelings about non-GMO corn). Or you try could skipping it altogether.<br /><br />Danielle @ Poor and Gluten Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836360004405159423noreply@blogger.com
