Alum deodorant

Posted by hilda on April 17, 2010 · 1 Comment

A WHILE BACK, I had an alum deodorant, but as such it didn’t work very well for me. So, instead I ground it up and now I use it as a powder in deodorant mixtures, where I find it works really well. Add a little bit of water or aloe juice to the alum powder. It’s going to foam like crazy, let it settle. You can then use it as a deodorant as such, or mix in some other ingredients. Add one or more of the following:

Apple cider vinegar
Cornstarch
Baking soda

Then stirred in coconut oil until you find a consistency that you liked.
