Ingredient Substitutions

My private desire for do-it-yourself deodorant formulations is to make use of magnesium hydroxide powder because the lively ingredient as a substitute of baking soda.

Magnesium hydroxide may be very light on delicate pores and skin, though it’s barely dearer.

Even when your pores and skin isn’t significantly delicate, baking soda formulations could burn after you sweat (pH goes too excessive) or if you happen to use them proper after shaving.

One other substitution is natural cornstarch for arrowroot powder. This substitution is a barely inexpensive choice.

I favor 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 if you happen to favor!

My favourite important oils to make use of in do-it-yourself deodorant are vanilla, orange, vanilla orange (half-and-half), or lavender. You can even omit the elective important oil for an unscented method.
