RE: How To Make Your Own Herbal Deodorant
Oh that sounds nice! Yes, I try to sneak herbs into everything..infusing them in oil seems to be the easiest way to do so. I always had an issue with sensitivity and irritation even with the first few recipes I tried. This one, I believe because of the soothing Shea Butter has fixed all of that. I know that some people are sensitive to baking soda though and should avoid it. If you ever wanna give it a try just replace the baking soda with clay or DE. Thanks so much for your support!
Oh, I have lots of DE, I have never thought to try it in my deodorant! Ill have to try next time.
I generally use zinc powder instead of cornstarch, (I didnt have arrowroot powder on hand one day, and just gave it a try, since I had zinc to make sunscreen). It works great in deodorant, by the way. :D
Thanks for the tip!
I love the zinc idea! DE is versatile...I have had great success with it in this recipe.
