Maloine Face Powder

Take:
  • 4 ounces of powdered marsh-mallow roots
  • 2 ounces of powdered white starch
  • 3 drachms of powdered orris-root
  • 20 drops of essence of jasmine
Mix well, and sift through fine muslin. This is one of the most agreeable and elegant cosmetics yet known for softening and whitening the skin, preserving it from chapping, and being so simple that it may be applied to the most delicate or irritable skin.
