Home-made All Natural Deodorant with men and women’s fragrances Deodorants are very important to me. I DO NOT LIKE body odour. But neither do I like the chemicals that are in most commercial deodorants/ antiperspirants. The human body is meant to sweat to cool the body. The bacteria from our skin and hair cause body odour when we sweat. My safe deodorant search began when I was pregnant with my first child. Last summer at a farmer’s market I purchased an all natural deodorant made locally. And I found it. Coconut Oil: naturally antibacterial and a great moisturiser.Baking Soda: deodorisesArrowroot Powder: adds extra drynessCocoa Butter: moisturiser for shaving and stabiliser (solid at room temperature)Bees Wax: stabiliser (makes the deodorant more solid)Essential Oil: antibacterial, antimicrobial, and smells good! ***UPDATE! All ingredients can be found in natural health food stores. Does it work? Directions: Wash and roll down your empty deodorant container. Melt cocoa butter on low heat in pan. Add coconut oil and beeswax and stir until melted.

Soap QueenSoap Behaving Badly I started my soaping adventures when I was young (ah, sweet 16), and have learned that not everything turns out perfectly the first time. Sometimes despite your best efforts during a soaping session, you’ll get batches that just don’t quite turn out right. It’s just an inherent (and disappointing!) All Bramble Berry Fragrance and Essential oils go through a thorough testing process to ensure they perform well in cold process soap. Bramble Berry carries hundreds of fragrance and essential oils, all of which are rigorously tested multiple times in cold process soap by our product development team. Note about testing: We tested all of these (non-Bramble Berry) fragrances in 1 pound batches using our Lots of Lather Quick Mix. Exhibit A: Acceleration Acceleration occurs when a fragrance oil brings the batter to trace extremely quickly — sometimes too quickly to work with! A closer look at accelerated soap. Exhibit B: Ricing, intense discoloration This batch was an excellent example of ricing.

Homemade Shaving Cream – Silky & Natural 8K+ This recipe/post has been a long time coming. Feels like forever since I wrote down the note on my idea board "Homemade Shave Cream". I think for some reason I was thinking it would be difficult to make or require something I didn't have on hand. Turns out that neither of those things were true and I'm glad I finally took the plunge! Easy Homemade Shaving Cream What You Need: 1/3 c. The ingredients! Just like with coconut oil, with Shea Butter you want to pick a good unrefined, unprocessed kind. Start by melting the shea butter and the coconut oil on a low heat on the stove top. Once it's melted, pour into a container and add in the olive oil and stir. Once it's solid again you can take it out of the fridge and put it in a bowl you can whip it in. Whip it! Isn't it beautiful? Use this homemade shaving cream the same as you would any store bought shave cream! Want more DIY projects and natural health and beauty make-your-own ideas?

How To Make Your Own Natural Non-Toxic Deodorant | High Existence Deodorant is an essential ingredient to combat body odour. We all love to smell nice, and perhaps more importantly, we know the social consequences if we don’t. The problem is that most deodorants don’t really do a good job of helping us out. I found out the hard way. About a year ago I moved further away from the city center of Amsterdam. Even during the harsh dutch winter, biking is by far the best way of transportation. Steamy sweat was inevitable. It happened time and again that after my first ride I started smelling. After my second ride back home, the deodorant I put my faith in had obviously let me down. I had been using deodorant for years. They lied. I am tempted to mention the possible hormonal and cancer risks of parabens, PEGs, synthetic fragrances and antibacterials, petrochemicals, or aluminum compounds. I also found that with a few simple ingredients you can easily prevent these micro organisms from thriving. Trust me, I now smell amazing. The Three Essential ingredients 1. 2.
