This information is readily available in any number of places, so I don't feel too bad about supplying it here; if you don't have a clue what you're doing, you probably won't be able to get the raw materials, and the product you make won't be as effective as (readily available) commercially prepared powder anyway.

"Black powder" is approximately 75% potassium nitrate (saltpeter), 15% carbon (charcoal), and 10% sulfur.

The smokeless variety: Realistically, don't even try. Just buy it. It's easier and much safer and probably not any more expensive.
