Kama Sutra Honey Dust Body Powder Raspberry Kiss 1 Oz

Small enough for a clutch bag and sweet enough to taste, Kama Sutra Honey Dust Raspberry Kiss in the 1 oz jar is the easy way to find out whether a kissable, edible body powder belongs in your routine. Kama Sutra describes the scent as vine-ripened raspberries sweetened with a touch of honey, and the jar comes with its own small feather for dusting it on.

A trial size that still does the job

One ounce is about 28 grams. That's plenty for several evenings of light dusting, and it means you're not committing to a big jar of a flavour you haven't tried. It also travels well: tuck it into an overnight bag for a hotel stay, or keep it in a nightstand drawer where a 6 oz tub would take up too much room. If raspberry turns out to be your favourite, the 6 oz Raspberry Kiss is the refill-sized version.

Raspberry, with a difference

Of the Honey Dust flavours, this is the one with real raspberry in the ingredient list: raspberry seed oil sits alongside the corn starch, honey and glucose. The result smells like ripe berries rather than candy, with honey softening the edges. On skin it's subtle. You'll catch it when your face is close to a partner's neck, which is exactly where it's meant to be found.

How to use an edible body powder

Open the jar, dip the feather and tap it on the rim so you aren't carrying a cloud of powder across the bed. Then go slowly, and don't rush the build-up; half the fun is in the waiting:

• Start somewhere unexpected, such as the inside of a wrist or along the hip bone.
• Let the feather trail more than it dabs. The light touch is part of the fun.
• Follow the path with kisses. The powder has a faint sweetness from the honey and sodium saccharin.

Because the base is corn starch, it also takes the shine off skin and leaves it feeling smooth and dry, which is pleasant on a warm night. Kama Sutra's own suggestions include using it as an everyday body powder and dusting a little over bed linen for a light scent.

Pairing it with other Raspberry Kiss products

Kama Sutra uses the Raspberry Kiss flavour across several lines. Oil of Love Raspberry Kiss is a dropper bottle made just for kissing, and Divine Nectars Raspberry Kiss is a flavoured glide. Using matching flavours keeps the taste consistent from one product to the next.

Ingredients and care

Listed ingredients: modified corn starch, glucose, corn starch, honey, silica, flavour, sodium saccharin, raspberry seed oil, sodium benzoate and benzyl alcohol. It's talc-free. Check the list for anything you react to and patch-test first if you have sensitive skin; keep it to the outside of the body. Close the lid after each use so moisture doesn't clump the powder, store the jar upright, and keep it away from heat and steam so the raspberry scent stays fresh for longer.
