Ever since I found out that anti-perspirants are directly related to breast cancer, because of the aluminum in them, once again I knew that I could find something I could make myself that would be safer and work to my satisfaction. I don't remember where I found this recipe for homemade deodorant, but I've used it for 3-4 years and have been very happy w/it. Homemade deodorant is really very simple and you probably have all of the items in your cupboard already. Here's what you need:
~An air-tight container ~ either a pretty dusting powder jar w/lid (I'm hunting antique shops for one!) OR some other container, I use a small Rubbermaid container. ~1/2c. Baking Soda ~1/2c. Corn Starch ~5 drops of an anti-bacterial essential oil; I use Lavender ~A whisk
Add Baking Soda to container...
Add Corn Starch...
Whisk thoroughly. To apply use either a powder puff or gently fluff a large cottonball, press into the mixture and apply. REMEMBER: 1) This IS a DEODORANT, NOT an anit-perspirant; 2) this IS a powder so be careful when applying it while wearing dark colors and sleeveless shirts. At times, in the summer, I have been known to first apply a little bit of Tom's Lavender deodorant stick and THEN quickly applying the powder over it when I know it's going to be very hot or I'm going to be in a stressful situation. Enjoy! Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<>< |
Add about 5 drops of Lavender essential oil...
