Also, will adding more food grade DE be a good idea to increase the sweat absorbency? If I’m already using fractionated coconut oil as a carrier, is almond oil necessary? I was wondering if i could replace cold pressed virgin coconut oil with fractionated (since its odourless). I’d like to give this recipe another try but with some modifications. And the smell of the coconut coupled with sweat makes the smell of my BO even more unpleasant. I sweat easily even if I’m seated at my work desk or in an air conditioned room 🙁. I’ve used this recipe for almost a week now and I’m sad to say it’s not working out. It worked well for the first 2 days, no allergic reaction as I have been using a crystal deo for almost a decade. Texture wise, it felt grainy but it didn’t bother me much since I’m able to wipe off the residue easily on my other body parts I’m pleased that the deo wasn’t greasy but it’s too early to tell if it’ll leave hard-to-get-off residues over time on my clothes. I noticed the colour of your deo is yellowish whereas mine is whitish+pale yellow (perhaps I used bleached beeswax?). For the EOs, I added lavender (as the primary scent), peppermint (for that fresh scent) and lemon (as a natural whitening agent). It was easy to make and the ingredients I bought were inexpensive and easy to find. I’ made my own batch within a week after reading this post. It will make it a bit more ‘stiff’ in consistency, but will help in grabbing odors. Also, if you want a stronger scent from the deo, you can always add a few more EO drops (so long as it isn’t irritating you) and you can also add a bit more DE.
You may want to do a little extra research on switching to a natural, organic deodorant to help give you a better understanding of what to expect. We want to sweat… we just don’t want to stink. You have to get rid of the decaying matter in your body (esp breeding ground pits!!!) before you can ask your body not to smell …and remember, sweating is a GOOD thing! It pains me to hear of people who try to use natural deodorants without detoxifying their pits, who then complain that they don’t work. Or… if you find that you truly cannot go for a few days without deodorant, you will have to use this one (or any other natural deodorant) for a week or so before you body starts to adjust.
Having an initial cleanse is actually pretty important.
