Recipe for a deodorant

Needed

• A 30 ml spray bottle
• Clean water from the kitchen tap, and if not available, use mineral water, or distilled water
• Antibac Pharma perfume-free hand disinfect, on alcohol-based gel 85%
• Essential oil of your choice
  • except oregano: it can irritate the sensitive skin.
• Anti-bac wipes, easy to clean the armpits during a journey, before using your deo.

Recipe

• advice: take a hygienically clean, used glass jar, with lid, to mix the ingredients
• add 8 gr disinfectant gel
• add 12 – 20 drops essential oil (do the patch test first)
• stir this well with a tea spoon till all essential oil is dissolved in the gel
• add 22 ml clean water
• close the jar and stir the jar well
• put a small funnel in the 30 ml glass bottle opening
• fill the bottle

You can build up a stock, by filling a 400 grams, used, hygienically cleaned (marmelade) glass jar, with 13 times the amounts as offered in the recipe.

• 13 x 8 = 104 gram disinfectant gel
• 13 x 12 = 156 drops essential oil
• stir this well with a spoon till all essential oil is dissolved in the geld
• add 13 x 22 ml clean water = 286 ml
• close the jar well, with the screw lock, and stir well
• keep it on a cool, dark place, out of reach of children

Use

• After washing thoroughly with soap, my own experience is that even washing several times, and even using time to let the soap “work”, does not help after stopping with a bought deodorant stick. As if the skin starts to open its pores, and is cleaning up. I experimented with a final wash with apple cider vinegar, after the soap has been washed away very well. It helps! I use it every day after cleaning the armpits.
• when the skin is dried well, I use my own deo spray, and let it dry before dressing.
• Close the deodorant with the top cap.
• Caution: before using essential oils do the patch test.
