@AlmostZeroWaste3 жыл бұрын
@@preciousblanza7770 Hey! You are welcome 🙂 I am currently using the 2nd one, and I love it. I noticed though that if it is super hot (currently it's summer here), I need to re-apply once or twice, so I don't get stinky. I probably wouldn't recommend omitting the shea butter. It is more solid than coconut oil, and it keeps the deodorant firm, without melting. However, if you really can't find shea butter anywhere, use mango butter instead. It will keep the deodorant more solid, and it is a good substitute for shea butter. You can use cornstarch or tapioca starch instead of arrowroot. I hope that helps, and let me know if you have other questions 🙂

I have very sensitive skin and have been looking for a more sustainable alternative for my deodorant for a while now. I tried the third recipe (without coconut oil) and it’s my favorite deodorant ever! It’s SO easy to make and it feels super nice on my skin, besides I have no smell at all after the whole day just applying it after my morning shower, no stains on my clothes or anything! Highly recommend this one if you have sensitive skin 🥰

The acid in the apple cider vinegar helps change surface skin ph and kills or makes it more difficult for bacteria to propagate. You might try lemon juice or other acidic fruit. Not sure if lemon will be sticky or not… lemon is little less acidic also so not sure if it’s as good but probably worth a try. Plus the benefit of the lemon smell.

It's actually specific bacteria that cause the smell! Baking soda is alkaline and is a good cleanser (but not usually used for skin), and coconut oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Bentonite clay has a negative charge and attracts positively charged toxins, pulling it away from your skin. The other ingredients might have cleansing properties but I don't know much about them.

Furthermore, you can for sure use white vinegar. I actually prefer using distilled white vinegar, for a less vinegary smell. As for the lemon - I have a friend that uses squeezed lemon juice on her armpits, and it works great.

I made the first basic one but my deo is a bit grainy. Why is that?
@AlmostZeroWaste3 жыл бұрын
It could be because of the shea butter; that's the reason why I prefer using refined shea butter because there is no grainy feeling in the end product. Also, a grainy feel can occur depending on how the deodorant hardens. When the temperature cools down too slowly, it can create a bumpy or grainy texture. To make it smooth again, add a bit of water in a saucepan, and put it on low heat. Once the water gets hot enough, add the jar with deodorant inside, and stir the mixture for a few minutes, until it melts. Don't boil the water - it just needs to get hot. Remove the deodorant from the saucepan once melted, and place it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes until set and smooth. Let me know if this helped, or if you have any questions!
