It was jam packed full of nasty, harmful ingredients. I looked at the label on my conventional deodorant at home and was shocked. Since I started my *real* journey toward better health from the inside out AND the outside in, I’ve been going through all of my products and eliminating toxic ingredients…things that are bad for me and bad for the environment. On occasion, I do wear deodorant, especially if I know I’ll be in a situation where I’ll likely sweat.
Sweating is your body’s natural way of ridding toxins, so it’s really a good thing. I mean, I wish that I would sweat more ( as weird as that might sound). Shea becomes stinky (rancid oil scent) when it is old, but not green? Not sure what’s going on there, but if you used bentonite clay it should be a light grey color.This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price, but will share some commission. Lastly, if it is green then something is off. Some people prefer it soft and they put it in a wide mouth jar and use a finger to scoop some out to apply. This will insure that it stays hard enough to glide on nicely in warmer weather (though when it gets close to 90 it will again become soft and may be harder to glide on without the goop as you said).
If it is soft when it is not in the fridge then (1) it is above 75 degrees in your home (2) you should use 92 degree coconut oil. Second, if you put it in the fridge, it will get hard, but it glides on wonderfully with the warmth of your skin. Use a glass measuring cup with a pour spout for easy pour. First, It needs to be thick coming out because you want it to set up hard. Yes, I should have some solutions for you, or at the least some options for you to try. I’m frustrated, because I’m having a hard time finding a good deodorant that works for me. I’m totally willing to consider that I did something wrong though! I think maybe the Shea butter I have is a little past date. I’d worry that it would stain light clothing. When I used it, it smeared thickly, made a mess, and formed into clumps on my skin. I put it into the fridge to harden for a while, and it became too hard, so I let it sit out while I showered. It was quite difficult to get it into the deodorant container. After melting the beeswax, Shea butter, and coconut oil on the stove, I added the bentonite clay and arrowroot powder, and it became really thick and goopy. Sadly, I made this today, as I happened to have all the ingredients on hand, and it’s really messy. I really wanted this to work for me, because I absolutely cannot wear antiperspirant (nor do I want to), store bought natural deodorants do not work well for me, and the recipes with baking soda give me a bad rash. “Once it becomes hydrated, the electrical and molecular components of the clay rapidly change and produce an ‘electrical charge’.” 1 It is this negative electrical charge that will bond to the positive charge of toxins, absorbing them into the clay as it releases its nutrients.
How to make baking powder deodorant skin#
It is calming and soothing to the skin (so no more under arm chaffing).īentonite Clay is a sedimentary volcanic ash that swells when it comes in contact with water.It extracts heavy metals from the skin.It absorbs toxins from the skin by creating a leaching effect around the under arm lymph nodes (where a lot of toxins are stored).Yes, along with nice smelling underarms, you get added benefits! Bonus!īy making a Clay based Deodorant, you are incorporating a detoxing element to your daily routine. For this reason, and for the detoxing benefits, I have put together some great options for a non baking soda deodorant. Baking soda can be chaffing if you are an active person or get super hot under the arms.
The reason behind this? I believe they have a sensitivity to the baking soda. Yet, I now know 3 people who have had difficulties wearing homemade baking soda and coconut oil deodorant. You can also make spray on deodorant, which is also easy and frugal. I have never had a problem and LOVE it, as do most people. My Coconut oil and baking soda deodorant recipe is easy, frugal, and fun because you get to add the scents that you like using essential oils that will also kill bacteria.
