how to make natural deodorant at home

The Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup shea butter, cocoa
butter or mango butter (or a
mix of all three equal to 1 part)
1/2 cup + 1 tsp beeswax
Optional: Vitamin E oil to
preserve. I added 1 tsp vitamin
E oil for this recipe)
3 tablespoons baking soda
(Omit this if you have sensitive
skin and just use extra
arrowroot)
1/2 cup organic arrowroot
powder
2-3 capsules of high quality
probiotics that don’t need to be
refrigerated (I love Bio Kult
brand)
Optional: Essential oils of
choice – I used about 20 drops
of lavender essential oil
This recipe can be adjusted to make
any quantity that you’d like by
increasing the amount of ingredients
used. This batch made enough
deodorant for my husband and I for
about 2-3 months. You could also cut
the recipe in half if you want to
make a smaller amount.
How to Make:
Combine coconut oil, shea (or other)
butter, and beeswax in a double
boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller
saucepan with 1 inch of water in
it. UPDATE: Combine in a quart size
glass mason jar with a lid instead
and place this in a small saucepan of
water until melted. This will save
your bowl and you can
just designate this jar for these type
of projects and not even need to
wash it out…
Turn the burner on and bring water
to a boil. Stir ingredients constantly
until they are melted and smooth:
Remove from heat and add the
vitamin E oil, baking soda, arrowroot
powder, probiotics, and essential
oils. Make sure the mixture is not hot
to the touch (warm is ok) so that the
heat doesn’t kill the probiotics.
Gently stir by hand until all
ingredients are incorporated.
If you will be making these into bars,
pour into muffin tins or other molds
while still liquid. If you will be
putting into an old deodorant
container to use like stick deodorant,
let the mixture harden for about
15-20 minutes at room temperature
to harden and when it is about the
consistency of peanut butter, use a
spoon to scoop into the deodorant
tube and pack down to fill. Then,
leave the cap off overnight to
completely harden before using.

how to produce air freshener at home

We are all aware how aesthetically unpleasant
our environments can be sometimes. This is
not good for man's health. The consciousness
of this fact inclined us therefore to design a
formula that kills or suspends unpleasant
smells in our cars, toilet, bathes or even
offices. This is used along with cleaning
detergent or even sprinkled on objects to give
or environment a pleasant odour.
CHEMICALS
i. SULPHONIC ACID: This is a dark brown
highly viscous liquid. It functions to
neutralize the caustic soda solution and
consequently create a room for perfume
absorption.
ii. CAUSTIC SODA: It is also called sodium
hydroxide. it exists as solid pearls. It has a
very high solubility in water, dissolving to give
basic solution. It functions to promote the
absorption of perfume by the mixture since the
perfume is of oil base.
iii. FORMALIN: This is a harsh-smelling
liquid. It is the disinfectant in the formulation.
Germs, bacteria etc. are eliminated by this
chemical. Formalin should be treated with
care as it is very harmful to the skin.
iv. COLORANT : This gives colour to the
formulation. It should be noted that just a
small amount of colorant is needed.
v. PERFUME: Perfume aromatises the mix
and confers pleasant smell on the product.
The type that appeals the manufacturer
suffices for the product.
CHEMICALS MEASUREMENT
Caustic soda pearls -------- 1 spoon
Soda Ash ---------------- 3 spoons
Sulphonic acid --------------- ½ cup
Formalin --------------------- 1 teaspoon
Water ----------------------- 4 litres
Perfume ------------------ to taste
Colorant --------------------- to taste
METHOD
Wash and drain mixer. Clean also your filter
with soap and rid it of dirt.
Measure the specified quantity of water into
the mixer and follow it with the specified
caustic soda pearls. Stir gradually to dissolve
the pearls. At this stage the solution is
expected to generate some heat. Then
measure sulphonic acid into the mixer and
increase your stirring rate.
Stir till it mixes completely with the caustic
soda solution. Now check the PH paper
correct if necessary, to ensure the acid is
neutralized. The PH must lie between 7 and 8.
Then add formalin and colorant. Stir well to
mix properly and finally add your perfume
which forms the base of this product.
Allow the solution to dissolve for 24hours then
filter the solution and package immediately
and cart for sales.
