Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Sorry, Sam. I don't use the stuff because I don't sweat. Only kidding. That's one thing I've never even looked into making. I'll bet somebody in our group has made it, though. Deoderant Hi... it's me again... i was wondering if anyone has a favorite deoderant recipe they are willing to give up... i got one off of the net and tried to make it... well let's just say that it didn't quite come out right... as a matter if fact ... it's so hard that you couldn't apply it if you wanted to... Not sure what went wrong...lol... i was actually looking for a Clear type deoderant stick, but this one was a solid Baking soda based one... And suggestions or tried and true recipes would be greatly appreciated]Our Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmMember Kae's Site...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 I tried to make a deoderant, but ended up with just like you... too hard to use. I've got a few books here that may have a different recipe in them.... when one recipe failed I gave up and didn't try again. I'll take a read and see if I have anything and let you know Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I'm not kidding when I say this-But my mother has never used deoderant!!! She doesn't sweat or get BO. It's a very weird thing. I used to think she was kidding, but she's never stunk! Now my 10yr. old niece, boy is she awful!!! She's been using deoderant for 2 years now!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 just a tid bit for your thoughts... taking Chlorophyll liquid internally will help to kill strong BO... and it's very safe (again with the shop talk outside of work...lol) Strong BO is usually a sign of something not right on the inside...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Yeah... i was tempted not to try it again, but i decided that $4 a pop for something (that seems like it would be easy to make) really ticks me off... and i have very few choices on scent... (I can't wear strong scents to work... too many chemically and environmentally sensative customers) If you do find a potentially good recipe i would be glad to test it out.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Haven't had a chance to look yet... I think I have 3 or 4 recipes. While I'm relaxing tonight I'll go through my books and send them out in the morning.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I think I read once that they contain (or are?) a form of aluminum, but I could be wrong. I use my husband's deodorant (Old Spice?).

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 The natural crystal contains no aluminum and works GREAT for a solid 24 hrs. It is also super inexpensive and lasts a year.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I don't think so - the brand I bought is called Pure & Natural and claims to contain no aluminum chlorhydrate. Doesn't mean it may contain other nasties though - that's why I posted, to see if anyone is aware of sinister stuff in these crystal sticks. >From: " mbrookh " <mbrookh@...> >Reply-mb12 valtrex >mb12 valtrex >Subject: Re: Deoderant >Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:51:18 -0000 > >Isn't the 'natural crystal' aluminum??!! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Pure and Natural deodorant stones are made of potassium alum. It is a pure product made without the addition of chemicals, fragrances, oils or alcohol. The chemical formula for potassium alum is K2SO4Al2 (SO4)324H20. Potassium alum is a colorless substance that forms octahedral or cubic crystals. Bauxite is the ore from which alum is drawn. It is formed by the rapid weathering of granitic rocks in warm, humid climates and can be purified and converted directly into alum. Potassium alum is soluble in seven times its weight of water at room temperature and is very soluble in hot water. When crystalline potassium alum is heated, some of the water of hydration becomes chemically separated, and the partly dehydrated salt dissolves in this water, so that the alum appears to melt at about 90 degrees C (approx. 392 degrees F), potassium alum swells up, loses all water, and becomes a basic salt called burn alum. Potassium alum has a density of 1.725. Alum's are used for a variety of uses including as a powerful astringent. If an aluminum compound, such as aluminum chlorohydrate or aluminum zirconium, which is very soluble, is used as an antiperspirant, that compound is readily absorbed. Once in the body, the aluminum portion of the molecule ionizes, forming free or radical aluminum (Al+++). This passes freely across cell membranes, and forms a physical plug, that when dissolved is selectively absorbed by the liver, kidney, brain, cartilage and bone marrow. It is this concentration of aluminum that has been the source of concern in the medical community and has prompted the research being done on ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE and BREAST CANCER victims. See: http://cbsnews.com/stories/2005/12/05/eveningnews/main1098995.shtml? CMP=ILC Potassium alum molecules have a negative ionic charge, making it unable to pass through the cell wall. THEY ARE NOT ABSORBED. This is why our deodorants are safe to use and will not cause high levels of ALUMINUM in your system. ALUM and ALUMINUM are two different substances, with distinct chemical signatures. They possess different chemical properties which create different chemical attributes.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Kim, The rock salt deodorants are very safe. I am not a sweaty person, but I have to say I still " stunk " on the rock salt deodorant. I was recommended a new deodorant from the health food store called WELEDA. It is a spray deodorant that comes in a citrus or rose scent. There is one for men too. It is the only natural deodorant that I'm not stinky on. CAUTION: It burns like fire if you put it on after you shave under your armpits. Two squirts per arm is good for me. If I was pregnant, I'd stick with the rock salt deodorant. ---- Original Message ---- From: kimandglen.quinn@... mb12 valtrex Subject: Deoderant Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 19:36:23 +0000 >O.k - there was some recent discussion about deoderants...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 For me, the deoderant system that works the best is to wash and put on a layer of white vinegar, followed by Tom's. Tom's doesn't work at all for me alone, but with the vinegar, it works well for about six hours. I put on a second coat : ) at about 5 hours and 45 minutes, and I'm good to go. I think the vinegar interfers with the bacterial growth. Kim and Glen Quinn <kimandglen.quinn@...> wrote: O.k - there was some recent discussion about deoderants... I think it was on this site.

I'm 5 months pregnant, and thought this would be a better alternative to my Dove aluminum deoderant. Kim Messenger with Voice.
