Soft Armor. I like that. It is pretty odd when your tooth paste has poison control information on it incase you swallow it even though it is supposed to have been made to go into your mouth or how your deodorant that goes on the most absorbent parts of your skin have heavy metals in them. I will have to try this baby power out. Thanks for another great article.
I am glad to hear you're enjoying the content. We have the same feelings about toothpaste and deodorant too. I was making our own toothpaste for a while but just couldn't find the time when the twins arrived. I found a great brand called Nelson Naturals which includes colloidal silver. It's a product I would like to start making myself again, but until then this brand is a excellent choice. I have trouble with the natural deodorants, though I read a steemit article that suggested just making a paste with baking soda and water. It has worked well for me but it is a bit flaky and abrasive so I am still on the hunt for something better. If you do try the powder, be sure to drop by and let me know how you like it. -Aimee
I read that u can use coconut oil mix with a drop of essential oil, tea tree for anti bacteria and a scent u like (thats what I use) or use a solid coconut bar like a roll on. I used to use a so called 'natural deodorant' but found out it has aluminium In the ingredient, so sometimes can't even trust the health store. Check everything vigilantly
I have tried some coconut oil based products and they did work well but they ended up ruining my clothes with oil stains. I have heard that beeswax based bars are just as good and don't have the oil stains problem but I have been too nervous about ruining more clothes. -Aimee
interesting, i guess beeswax isnt strictly vegan friendly so i probs wont try it. i never noticed a problem with the coconut oil stains myself, but i just use my own coconut oil not sure if it makes a difference. to tell u the truth i dont really wear 'deodorant'(coconut oil) that much like i used to have to, maybe its the change in diet to plant based i think has alot to do with it, i notice hormonal changes do affect smells, i just change my t-shirts during the day if i sweat alot!
Oh yeah, I guess beeswax wouldn't be vegan. I thought the first batch I used didn't give the oil stains so maybe it was another fragrance oil in the second one I tried. Either way, I didn't want to risk more clothes. I haven't been eating as well as I used to and I think you're right, diet and hormones definitely play a role in body odour. Nothing wrong with just changing a shirt either! -Aimee
