A specialized product designed for application to the skin, this formulation is created with ingredients safe for ingestion. It typically consists of finely milled powders derived from food-grade sources. An example would be a confectioner’s sugar-based powder lightly scented with vanilla and intended for use as a novelty item.
The appeal of such a product lies primarily in its novelty and perceived sensual nature. Historically, powders have been used for cosmetic and hygiene purposes. The addition of edibility introduces a playful element, suggesting a potential for intimate interaction and a blurring of the lines between personal care and confectionery. This contrasts with conventional body powders, which are formulated solely for their absorbent and fragrance properties.
