I'm asking if anyone has the recipe for homemade deodorant that really works. LateefahLateefah, this is my favorite deodorant. I buy those small sample-size stick deodorants, scoop out the contents and discard, and wash the container well. For the deodorant: Melt 2 Tablespoons beeswax and 2 Tablespoons coconut oil over low heat. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Add 10 drops each of the following essential oils: clary sage, lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, orange. Stir in 1 Tablespoon castor oil. Let cool in pan. Check for correct consistency. Then melt again and pour into stick deodorant case. Let set until completely cool.

Zinc Oxide is manufactured using a patented Physical Vapor Synthesis process. In this process, zinc metal is vaporized. This vapor is rapidly cooled in the presence of oxygen, causing nucleation and condensation of nanocrystalline zinc oxide particles.Suzi

I make a deodorant that works well for me, but I use zinc oxide powder. Is zinc oxide a safe additive to use in place of the aluminum or am I just subbing one bad thing for another?

Best using the Thai stone or something without the heavy metals. Vinegar works really well and changing the diet to a raw food diet works best of all. Although Zinc Oxide is touted as being generally safe it can cause liver problems which can lead one to jaundiced conditions or worse.
