Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Herbal Stick Deodorant - How-to Formula More Skin Care Solutions by Annie Berthold-Bond, Care2.com Producer, Green Living Channels If you can tolerate essential oils, herbal deodorants are wonderfully effective since so many of them have strong anti-bacterial properties. I am excited to find this formula for making homemade stick deodorant because with this, any one of us can custom make the deodorant using essential oils that one really likes! That being said, I like the essential oils recommended for this formula by Snow Drift Farms; they are all strongly anti-bacterial: 1 1/2 tbspn beeswax (yellow is best) 1/2 tbspn cocoa butter 1 tablespoon coconut oil 15 drops white thyme essential oil 15 drops rosemary essential oil 25 drops lavender essential oil 3 drops castor oil Melt beeswax in a glass jar standing in hot water, add the cocoa butter, and when it has melted, add the oils. Stir to mix thoroughly, then pour into a clean, discarded deodorant stick case and leave to cool and set.
