Even if you’ve never made your own home remedy, this is still an easy remedy with simple ingredients that aren’t too hard to find if you know where to look. Kaolin or bentonite clay are normally available at a health food store, while glycerin and zinc oxide can be found at a soap making supplier, or simply online.
