Easy, four-ingredient system for 100% secure, selfmade deodorant that doesn’t sting or burn delicate pores and skin even after shaving.
Deodorant is a kind of private care objects that MUST be 100% secure. Each single ingredient must be unhazardous because of its each day use very near the lymph nodes within the armpits in addition to delicate breast tissue.
Sadly, the “secure” deodorant manufacturers available on the market have been regularly cheapening their merchandise over time. This development appears to have gained momentum since 2020.
*One notable exception to the development of cheapened pure deodorants is my pal Amy Perez’s firm Purefill. Chances are you’ll recall that Amy was the founding father of Primal Pit Paste. Purefill is her new enterprise which maintains her uncompromising product high quality requirements. Purefill is even higher with the addition of reusable containers! I extremely advocate supporting Purefill in the event you choose to purchase your deodorant.
Ingredient Substitutions
My private choice for selfmade deodorant formulations is to make use of magnesium hydroxide powder because the energetic ingredient as an alternative of baking soda.
Magnesium hydroxide could be very mild on delicate pores and skin, though it’s barely dearer.
Even when your pores and skin isn’t notably delicate, baking soda formulations could burn after you sweat (pH goes too excessive) or in the event you use them proper after shaving.
One other substitution is natural cornstarch for arrowroot powder. This substitution is a barely inexpensive possibility.
I choose mango butter in my deodorant formulation as a result of I discover it non-greasy. Be happy to substitute shea butter or cocoa butter in the event you choose!
My favourite important oils to make use of in selfmade deodorant are vanilla, orange, vanilla orange (half-and-half), or lavender. You too can miss the non-compulsory important oil for an unscented system.
