Vodka about one ounce

Not including chlorophyll and wax put all above ingredients in a big bowl and mix and stir well. And after that let it melt beeswax in a double boiler at low heat. Then, add chlorophyll and wax and blend it gently. At this moment leave it for cooling by before solid, mix necessary oils and liquid chlorophyll. And after this pour this combination into a mold and put down it for solid. Take away the prepared deodorants from mold and keep in dry chill place.

Looks interesting but not reliable. I'm afraid this smell won't stay long. Am I wrong?
Anyway, It's better just go to shop and choose the smell you want. Except if you want to be a perfumer

have you tried this before?

All you need to make a wonderful and long lasting deodorant is Shea butter, cornstarch, baking soda and essential oils. This is 100% natural and will be fine even in 120 degrees. I make this all the time and have used it for years and it is wonderful.

I will definitely give it a try! Thanks for the tip

This is a wonderful idea. Never thought of it that the deodorants can be made in home with natural home made products. I'll definitely try it. Shea butter is mostly used by girls or boys? Or can be used by both?

Shea butter is great for both men and women.

Looks like a lot of work but thank you for sharing~!

Actually it isn't a lot of work at all. It takes about 5 minutes or less to make.

The vodka probably has enough alcohol in it to mix with the oils (I don't know for sure, but probably,) but how do you keep the water and chlorophyll from separating out of the other ingredients? They are all oil soluble except for the water and chlorophyll.
