NAME's Soap Recipe
Deodorant Soap by Sharon Zakhour
I wanted to create a soap that would really help eliminate body odor. I researched additives
and EO's that would kill both bacteria and odor. My own tests show that if you leave the suds
on a bit (don't wash off immediately) it does significantly lesson odor.
Accordingly, I'll enter this soap in the "Soaps that Work" theme.
Base Ingredients
- 38 oz Coconut oil
- 27 oz Shea Butter
- 20 oz Rice Bran oil
- 4 oz Almond oil
- 4 oz Avocado oil
- 3 oz Castor oil
- 24 oz coffee (made with distilled water)
- 13.4 oz NaOH
Added to melted oils
- 5 capsules 400 IU vitamin E (2000 IU total)
Scented with (some warmed oils were added to this blend, then the mix was added back to the warm oils)
- 2 oz Lemon Myrtle essential oil (Anne Lee's)
- 2 oz Bulgarian Lavender essential oil
- 1 oz Egyptian Rose Geranium essential oil
Additives (mixed with some of the warmed oils, then it was added at trace)
- 8 Tblsp baking soda
- 4 Tblsp powdered sage
- 3 Tblsp white kaolin clay
Note
This traces quickly, so be ready.
Special thanks to:-
Dinah in Orlando for her excellent EO suggestion!
