1. Throw away all antiperspirant containing aluminum
2. Make aluminum free antiperspirant
Yep, make your own with your own scent.
Recipe:
Equal parts Corn Starch and Aluminum Free Baking Powder (I used 1/2 cup each)
2-4 T Coconut Oil
10 drops essential oil (I used lavender)
Mix the starch and baking powder together, then mash in the coconut oil and essential oil. Mix it well until it is an even consistency and store it in a mason jar or reuse a well cleaned out old deodorant container.
This deodorant works quite well. Let me know what you think.
i gotta try that!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how many chemicals on the market we put into our bodies on a daily basis with the idea of health. I read somewhere that if you can't eat the ingredient you should not be putting it in or on your body.
ReplyDeleteThe items you have listed in your post under deodorant seem very easy to make and use. I'm just thinking of the money I will be saving by using this. The real test will this summer. If it could survive my physical activities, that will be great. I just perspire. Thanks
why the baking powder and not soda?
