After the small success of whipping up a sweat fight and odor control stick and considering I missed a ingredient...Time to made some more deodorant.

This batch refilled two reused stick deodorant container and since I made extra I decided to experiment.


Say hello to "Deodorant bar"  The first ever batch I made was missing baking soda and I found it lack the strength of a commercial brand. Having to reapply through out the day is not my cup of cake but still strong 3 containers of the stuff lasted..5 months. Finally at my last bar I  could wait no longer i I cut the last remaining bar and re-melt and added it to this newly made batch.

 

In a sauce pan I heated a pot of water to almost boiling. Enough to melt 1 spoon full of Shea butter and my last stick to a creamy consistency.

I found some recipes on youtube from some awesome ladies  and then did my own thing with what I learned. It's so simple to find recipes and tutorials online and experiment I leave it up to you to take matters into your own hands and join the fun!!!! XOXO
