Well I just tried this recipe, I did substitute activated charcoal in place of the zinc and I didn't have any Castro oil so I omitted it. I also put in a bit of vitamin e oil. I ended up using lavender and lemon grass as a scent but I don't love it. Next time I will use something that goes better with the cocoa butter as it has quite the scent on it's own. I haven't tried to turn up the tube yet to try this out but I did take some I spilled and give that a try. In other than not loving the scent it is wonderful. Thank you for the video. Also I times the batch by 5 and got 6 1/2 tubes. Revised, I have now been using this deodorant for 4 months and I love it! Everyone want some so I'm going to make it for sale. This is the best deodorant recipe I have found so far.

Hey! So I wanted to let you know that I made this, a little bit modified but it works awesome!! I was scared it wouldn't work as a lot of them don't but I will never go back to regular deodorant! I didn't use the cocoa butter, zinc oxide, or castor oil. I upped the shae butter since I didn't have cocoa butter, I didn't have zinc oxide so I added a little baking soda and upped the arrowrroot powder (the baking soda doesn't irritate my skin and I have very sensitive skin) I have never used castor oil so I thought vegetable glycerin may work for slip but it didn't that's the only thing that needed improvement in mine though it was still good. I also added extra bees wax -20 grams and it's good but could be harder I think but that may be because I didn't use cocoa butter. I ordered castor oil so I'm going to make more. But awesome recipe thanks for sharing!! I love that I can now make my own and it works... and I think it works better than my normal deodorant!!

I love the Lulu Organics shampoo powder, but it is ridiculously expensive. I want to make it on my own now. (Prices these days!) Now I'm wondering if I do your recipe here, but without any oils & butters, just the dry ingredients, would this make a good shampoo powder? The only ingredient missing is the baking soda from the list of ingredients on the container of Lulu Organics.
@mayflylife

@LadyGoza The whole premise of this particular recipe is to create a bar style shampoo. Oils and butters that are used provide different properties, like moisture, softening, etc. Where the dry ingredients could strip some or all of the natural oils, leaving the scalp dry. That being said, I encourage people to experiment and make this recipe their own. The only way to truly discover if it works is by trying it. Give it a go and see what the results are. Best of luck.

To answer your question, no this is not an antiperspirant but a deodorant. Antiperspirants clog the pores of the sweat glands which are meant to help remove toxins from your body. This deodorant helps eliminate the odor caused from sweating.

If you want to eliminate the zinc, it can change the effectiveness of the deodorant, but that’s a personal decision. Cut back on the zinc oxide to around 2 g and add more kaolin clay, arrowroot powder or combination of the two. The whole idea is for you to play around with the ingredients to suit your needs and likes. 😊

@@mayflylife @Georgette Etourneaux Did you find a just-right recipe? I am having a hard time finding info on subbing bentonite for the kaolin AND arrowroot, as I don't have either and have already spent a lot to get good ingredients. Do I need to add more or less oil or wax when using bentonite in place of it? Also, do I just the same weight exactly of clay, or are it's absorption properties so much stronger that I should use less? Also, I am using zinc ricinoleate and magnesium hydroxide as my active ingredients instead of zinc oxide (though I also have zinc oxide). After researching, it seems that it is the ricinoleate form of zinc that actually plays the better role in deodorizing more than the oxide, as that is more of a protector (sunscreen, rash cream, etc). But all of the recipes I am finding aren't listing an actual amount to use as they are from popular brands and sales.
