Deodorant…Again!
OK, so I have to tell you that I really like the deodorant I made a while back. It was great until, after having a warm day two days ago and it melted a bit in the container and slumped to the side. Which wouldn’t have been a problem except I am not used to using a microwave.
I put the container into the microwave thinking to warm it enough to allow the contents to melt back into original form. And it probably would have worked except I, being “microwave challenged”, managed to melt it and pop the retaining seal off the bottom of the deodorant container. There was my wonderful concoction all over the slightly dirty glass tray.Of course, It had to be thrown away.
Honestly, I can cook like nobodies business. I can handle a gas or electric stove and produce gastronomic delights. But there is something about a microwave that defeats my abilities. I have yet to heat a hot dog in one without splitting it full length.
BACK TO DEODORANT!!!!
So, I am changing my recipe a bit to try and be smarter than the sneaky Southern California weather. My new proportions are:
4 Tablespoons Cocoa Butter
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
3 Tablespoons Corn Starch
3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
2 Gel Capsules Vitamin E
Melt the butters and oils, squeeze in the Vitamin E and mix all the ingredients together.
One of the neat things about this stuff is that I am reusing my old deodorant container. I’m hoping to see if I can manage to never have to buy another again
