I came across a post that had a very basic recipe for making your own deodorant. http://cadryskitchen.com/2012/08/29/diy-coconut-oil-deodorant/ my only addition would be essential oils for smell and anti-bacterial growth.
While I was at the Stone Store downtown Guelph yesterday, I was surprised to find this deodorant from Penny Lane Organics It actually had the exact ingredients from the recipe online, and had essential oil. Being a working full-time mom, anything to help in the don’t-have-to-make-it-by-myself regime is awesome.
I chose the Pink Grapefruit essential oil version. I absolutely love it.
It is a bit crumbly when you’re first putting it on but then it adjusts to your body temperature. I’ve been using it for a day and a half now and it feels great. I love the smell too!
Its is so wonderful to find some products that are natural and work!
***Update Summer 2014; I do find this deodorant really started to burn my skin under my armpits from the high salt, so what I did was melt it down into a pot, added jojobi oil, shea butter, beeswax and some coconut oil. This made it awesome, glides and doesn’t really burn me anymore***
