Are you concerned about the type of chemicals you put on your skin? Commercial deodorants often contain aluminum
(with correlations with cancer and Alzheimer), as well as parabens, triclosan, and formaldehyde.
Would you try making your own homemade deodorant? It's very easy, and only takes a few minutes. Plus it is very economical to make.
Here is what you will need:
•
Coconut oil (or 1/2 as much of another liquid oil)
•
shea butter,
cocoa butter or
mango butter (or a mix of all three)
•
beeswax (pastilles)
•
baking soda (sensitive skin? use extra arrowroot instead)
•
organic arrowroot powder or
non-GMO cornstarch
• Optional: Vitamin E oil
• Optional: 2-3 capsules of high-quality
probiotics
• Optional:
Essential oils of choice – I love using lavender essential oil

About Catherine: I have been writing frugal tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three sons, who are all grown up - and re-married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and Bella, the cat.
