My original and edited zero waste + vegan recipes:
This smells really nice and doesn't stain clothes or leave an oily residue. when tested against other popular store bought natural/vegan deodorants it worked longer, plus it helps keep your underarms dry.
¼ cup lavender ( fragrance and soothes)
¼ cup cornstarch (moisture adsorbing/ reduces oiliness)
¼ cup baking soda (absorbs bad odors)
2-3 tbsp solid coconut oil (antibacterial, moisturizing, binder)
5-8 drops eucalyptus oil ( fragrance and soothes)
To make: Put lavender, cornstarch and baking soda in a blender or coffee grinder blend or pulse until lavender is as broken down as possible, then sift in to a container or bowl. Melt your oil in a microwave for about 10-20 seconds or in a pot on low heat until melted, fully incorporate with your dry ingredients and add eucalyptus, mix thoroughly then scoop into a jar or air tight container. (Feel free to double or adjust).
To use: Scoop up a small amount and slowly rub into your armpit letting it melt then fully rub in, if you have armpit hair I recommend combing out any solids (up to you).
My sweet mint toothpaste:
Sweet, minty, whitening and antibacterial plus no chemicals! This is a cheap,eco friendly and cruelty free alternative to traditional toothpaste.
8 tbsp solid coconut oil ( anti bacterial, binds)
3-5 tbsp baking soda ( cleans debris/plaque, whitens, absorbs bad odors)
1-2 tsp stevia (sweetens)
1-3 tsp natural peppermint extract (flavor, fresh tingle and smell, soothes gums)
To make: Mix all ingredients in a bowl (adjust baking soda, mint and sweetener as desired), when fully incorporated transfer into a jar or air tight container.
To use: Scoop a small quantity and brush teeth as usual.
My face wash/skin care formula:
Cleanses, softens and smells amazing !! This is perfect for dry or oily skin, uneven or acne prone skin and people with eczema or sensitive skin. oatmeal is great for soothing most skin conditions and gently exfoliates. It’s great for cleansing without stripping your natural oils helping in balancing your skin, you can use this 1-3 times a day every day a week if you choose, or use this to replace your current face wash/scrub/mask routine.
½ cup dry oatmeal (exfoliates, binds, cleanse, moisturize,soothe)
1 tbs dry chamomile (soothes, exfoliates, fragrance)
2 tsp dry lavender (soothes, exfoliates, fragrance)
To make: Blend all ingredients in a blender or coffee grinder until a fine or mildly chunky powder. Sift to remove stems and other large fibers. Put into a jar or an air tight container.
Face and body: Scoop or pour a small quantity (about 1-2 tbsp) into your palm or in a small dish, add a little bit of water (about 1 tbsp at a time) until desired fluidity (paste-liquid) gently rub on face and/or body in small circles (let sit on skin if you like). rinse off, pat dry.
Bath: In a warm-hot bath mix in 2-10 tbsps of face/skincare powder, relax and enjoy.
