OT: homemade deodorant again

Just a quick question for you making the deodorant w/the coconut oil.
Any of you get stains on cloths? I am wondering if it is the shea butter(sometimes I use it, sometimes I don’t) or if it does that w/just the coconut as well??
We’ve used it for a couple years or so and no stain issues. I just use coconut oil from Walmart. Since we’re not eating it I’m not so picky:)
My DH makes his own with coconut oil and at first it stained his clothes then he started putting less of the deodorant on at a time and it worked just as well without staining. Hope that helps!
I might be putting on too much!
This is my recipe Britney
There are other recipes out there w/out the bees wax but it tends to get pretty liquid in the summer.
I use half the baking soda and replace w/arrow root, too much baking soda can be irritating.
We use this simple recipe, only 3 ingredients: http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2013/01/homemade-all-natural-deodorant.html. But I’m interested in the beeswax, thanks for sharing! Ours does liquify in the summer. It’s not a huge deal to us, but I may try adding that!!
When I put too much on I get stains. It only takes about the size of the head of the pencil eraser. I can even go several days without putting anything on. It works very well.
Thanks for sharing this recipe for deodorant. My teenage son is complaining about his deodorant and I want to create our own which I think is a healthier alternative.
Your welcome. We(my husband and I) find it works much better than any natural deodorant you could buy. And pretty easy to make. I just use 2 large empty stick. The recipe makes enough for that.
I made my own for a year and it worked fairly well, but I tired of making it and went looking for something different. I have been using the Pit Putty Cream from Bubble and Bee and this stuff is terrific! Just throwing it out there for a consideration. Not as cheap as making your own, but easier and more effective for me.
The trial size lasted 2 weeks or so each. The large is supposed to las a year. I’ve just ordered it.
I have never had better results with a deodorant than with the recipe found on the bulkherbstore.com website. You can find it in their search box by looking for “natural deodorant recipe”. It is fantastic, even without the bentonite clay, which might stain clothing. I have had no staining and I have never used anything that works so well.
