Palo Santo Natural Deodorant

About This Recipe:

This natural deodorant uses charcoal which will help absorb odor and moisture. Our deodorant uses Magnesium Hydroxide to neutralize odor without clogging sweat ducts. Arrowroot Powder keeps the deodorant silky and powdery. Contains no aluminum or baking soda to irritate tender underarms.

Directions:

NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron, workspace and sanitized equipment.

1. To a double boiler or heat-safe pan, add Coconut 76 Oil, MCT Oil, Shea Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Beeswax and Candelilla Wax. Heat over low heat until completely melted. Remove pan from heat but keep heat on low under pan of water. 
2. Sift the Magnesium Hydroxide, Arrowroot Powder and Charcoal and add to a mixing bowl. This will make the powders easier to blend into the liquids.
3. Slowly whisk the powders into the oil/wax mixture until blended. Place pan back over water and let heat warm up the mixture, stirring occasionally until smooth. 
4. Mix in Vitamin E and natural fragrance oil.
5. Pour product into 5 deodorant tubes. If mixture starts to thicken, place over heat source to liquify enough to finish pouring. Save any remaining product. This can be remelted and used to fill in any sink holes that may appear.  
6. Let completely harden then place top on tubes.
7. Label product accordingly.

 To Use: Apply to underarms as needed.
