RE: Ditch the Toxic deodorant and MAKE YOUR OWN! ♥ Here's how:

Love this!

I just ran out of the natural deo I had been using.
I tried a coconut oil & baking soda mix, pit paste kind of, years ago and it tore up my arm pits :/

But i think this would work well! Im pretty sure i have most of the ingredients too!

What brand of lard do you like? Or is it home rendered lard?

Sort:  

Thanks!!
It is actually home rendered lard, from a neighbor's pig. (They dont keep the fat so I get it for free.)
Grocery store lard should be fine also. If you have a local butcher, you may be able to find pig fat to render.

I know what you mean about tore-up armpits. Mine are more sensitive than anyone else in my family, so I was relieved to find something that didnt give me a huge armpit rash AND kept me smelling nice. :D

Ive found that i have far less arm pit sensitivities now that I've stopped shaving!

I bet! I havent stopped altogether, but I have lengthened the time between shavings and it helps. I have very sensitive skin, and shaving gives me issues...
