Ingredient Substitutions
My private desire for selfmade deodorant formulations is to make use of magnesium hydroxide powder because the lively ingredient as an alternative of baking soda.
Magnesium hydroxide could be very mild on delicate pores and skin, though it’s barely costlier.
Even when your pores and skin isn’t notably delicate, baking soda formulations might burn after you sweat (pH goes too excessive) or for those who use them proper after shaving.
One other substitution is natural cornstarch for arrowroot powder. This substitution is a barely cheaper choice.
I choose mango butter in my deodorant formulation as a result of I discover it non-greasy. Be at liberty to substitute shea butter or cocoa butter for those who choose!
My favourite important oils to make use of in selfmade deodorant are vanilla, orange, vanilla orange (half-and-half), or lavender. It’s also possible to miss the elective important oil for an unscented components.
