Five Bright Stars Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Are there any melt & pour soaps that can also be use for deodorant? I know...I know .....silly and stupid question but I had to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I don't think its a silly question. Makes me wonder if there are additives you could use in M&P or any soap to aid as a deodorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I found some homemade deodorant recipes online. Just google and you will see some. Looks like the ingredients used to make it a deodorant are baking soda, arrowroot, cornstarch. The best I found were deodorant bars using shea butter and coconut oil and a little beeswax. Have you ever made a solid lotion? That's what they are with additives mentioned above and some EOs like lavender and tea tree. Here is a recipe I like that I found. I may try this myself: https://thehumbledhomemaker.com/natural-homemade-deodorant-recipe/ I think you would have better luck with a solid lotion bar as opposed to a soap but I could be wrong. Remember, soap is a wash off product so the effects may not work as well as a leave on product like a solid lotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Bright Stars Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Thanks for the tips and the link for the recipe. I want to try out selling some natural deodorants at an upcoming craft; because this is my first time, I thought that M&P might be a good way to start. Because I'm such a 'tight wag', I could only find a couple of websites selling deodorant M&P and the pricing did not seem very competitive considering the ingredients are few and very simple. I just might try making it from scratch myself......or do you think, for the first time I should spend the money for M&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
