Penny's Dedorant using Sage

[Guest guest]

Here is the Deodorant that I make which handles the Florida Heat

extremely well,

SAGE DEODORANT

1 ounce of sage tincture

1 ounce of witch hazel extract

10 - 20 drops of essential oil blend - Use sage, coriander or chamomile

to fight bacteria and add another one that has the fragrance you like (I

 

use 10 drops of sage essential oil and 10 drops of peppermint oil so I

can smell like a peppermint drop)

 

5 - 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract (a natural anti bacterial agent

used here as a preservative i. e GSE by Nutribiotic)

 

I do not necessarily add the grapefruit seed extract as it is

expensive and my deodorant went thru a year of Florida weather with

no-one complaining WITHOUT USING IT . My present batch, however, has it

in....

when you DO add the GSE add it into the sage alcoholic tincture

before you put the oils in otherwise the GSE tends to separate the

oils.

This needs to be shaken before you use it.

i keep mine in a $1 squeezy bottle that I can spray that I bought

from Wal Mart.

I would love to put it into an old fashioned ceramic

atomizer..anyone got one they don't want?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Love Penny
