Guest guest Posted February 4, 2000 Report Share Posted February 4, 2000 bauxite is the mineral ore from which aluminum is extracted. some bauxite is in crystalline form, I suppose when I organize my books I will check out and so what my rock books say... Joanie >The 'crystal stones' deodorant I have is actually bauxite (in TINY print, on the side) - the person (sorry, forgot your name!) who posted the warning about breast health & deodorants warned against bauxite. >Anyone know more about it? It would be annoying if something marketed as natural and healthy, calling itself 'crystal' (I wonder, to cash in on the healing 'aura' of crystals that many believe in?) - is actually harmful as aluminum, etc. >Confused, >Gwen in London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hello Folks, I have created a pretty good 100% natural deodorant which I have been testing for the past few weeks. Used once a day has kept me from not smelling and I live in the tropics. I really think a good part of alcohol is necessary thus the test I have been using has 5% alcohol in it. I haven't really had any problem at that concentration though after a good workout & shower when my pores are wide open I feel a bit of warmth.... I am not sure if it is the alcohol or the 0.5% of rosemary oil in the eo blend. I plan to run the test again without the rosemary oil or at least cut it in 1/2. My question is; are any of you making a natural deodorant with alcohol in it and what is a good percentage to use to keep all people happy? Case in point is people who shave their armpits. After a fresh shave I can imagine alcohol can be quite " warming " (like alcohol on a cut.) Any ideas or experiences would be most appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you all soon. Sincerely, Have a great day, R. Lorenti Jr. mlorenti@... www.sensatia.com Skype ID: mlorenti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Wow Willow, That is quite interesting. I am surprised to hear the statistics on that :-O Will have to do a bit more research in the meantime. So far i am loving it ;-) Friends that I have given it to have also really liked it and were actually surprised it worked, hehehehe. Thanks Willow. Take care, Have a great day, R.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Willow, I have to concur on your input to . I had a small skin cancer (fine now!) under my arm (how the heck I got it there??) and after it was treated and removed, I got a nasty staph infection over and over. I now use only crystal salt deodorants and can report that they don't stop the sweat (a good thing) but make the environment unacceptable for bacteria to grow on. Also, drop the shaver! I haven't used a razor in years; get an epilator! It lasts for weeks, is not all that painful especially after you use it once or twice, and you will never nick your skin again. I will never go back to the razor!! -Mel > I can't help you at all > other than google for recipes and see if there are any patents online > that may show you a percentage... > > One thing I wanted to mention about alcohol... > > After having MRSA Staph 5 times in 1.5 years I will only use deodoraNTS > with alcohol.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 well that's a good idea! maybe I will try it. for now I am good, and I always use a fresh razor when I feel the need. luckily, I am not very hairy - except for my long hair on my head! lolol > > > > > From: R.
