Deodorants, how to make your own..
When we have 'items' like our focus item this week. I try to find options for those of you who are really adventurous. This means, those of you who want to attempt to make these yourself. Okay, I found some recipes on http://www.care2.com/, so here you go!
Basic Deodorant Powder
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
A few drops essential oils such as lavender or cinnamon
Place the ingredients in a glass jar. Shake to blend. Sprinkle a light covering of the powder on a damp washcloth. Pat on. Don’t rinse.
Basic Liquid Deodorant
1/4 cup each witch hazel extract, aloe vera gel, and mineral water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
A few drops antibacterial essential oils such as lavender (optional)
Combine the ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake to blend. Makes 3/4 cup
Shelf life: Indefinite
Here is a video of 'how to do it' with yet a different recipe.
