    de-funk de pits

    Any luck finding mag hydroxide yet? I’ve bought from Organic Makers here in Sweden. Their prices are not great, but service etc is very good. Maybe that would work for you?

    What scents are you drawn to?

    Yet another smf member who doesn’t have a ”type” of fragrance. I tend to like floral and herbal fragrances to be as true to the actual plant as possible. If I want a fresh kind of scent, I’m more likely to go for a minty or citrussy one than one of those ”fresh air” or ”clean linen” ones. I also...

    Fragrance Oil Ruined By Magnesium?

    Hello everyone! I've made a few sticks of deodorant using a base recipe of 50% magnesium hydroxide, 10% cetyl alcohol, and 40% sunflower oil. The first one was with lavender and frankincense and worked very well. When I used that up, I wanted a rose scented one, and made a full size stick right...

    Looking for Input - Spa Day in a Jar

    This thread inspired me to give my husband a home spa day for Christmas! He got a gift basket with masks, bath bombs etc, and a card explaining the gift. Of course it’s really a gift for both of us - my mum will be babysitting :dance::tub::nodding:

    Looking for Input - Spa Day in a Jar

    I’ve been thinking about this, and I think it makes sense to have different kits to use with or without a bath. Not everyone has a bath tub, and some people don’t like baths. So, for a tub type person: bath oil/bomb/salts, scrubby thing like a small loofah. For a showerer: salt scrub/shower...

    Deodorant with flower water

    Just a quick update because I’ve finally made a recipe I really like! It’s 50% magnesium hydroxide, 38% sunflower oil, 10% cetyl alcohol and 2% essential and/or fragrance oil. I still have moderately stinky days, but that happened with purchased deos too.

    Soap for daughter’s eczema

    I would much rather use a mild steroid under supervision by a doctor, than experiment with homemade remedies. That is what should have been clearer in my reply, I’m not suggesting the op does nothing.

    Whats the Best recipe for 100% Olive oil soap ?

    I really like Zany’s No Slime Castile, from this forum. Doesn’t seem to work for everyone though. (I’ve only made it once, but that batch was awesome.)

    Soap for daughter’s eczema

    How old is your daughter? If she isn’t big enough to understand her options, please don’t experiment with her skin!

    I know I asked something like this before, but

    I don’t understand your question. If you prefer to work in pounds and ounces, soapcalc gives you those units too.

    Deodorant with flower water

    I need to make some with more magnesium, definitely! The Mommypotamus stick is not effective at all. Maybe I’ll combine the magnesium with bicarb or zink. I also want to try a recipe with cetyl alcohol instead of beeswax.

    Deodorant with flower water

    So what, in your opinion, is the right percentage?

    Deodorant with flower water

    That’s just the thing - ”natural” isn’t really a meaningful concept to me when it comes to cosmetics. I like to make stuff because it’s creative and I get to choose scents etc. It’s not worth it for me to make deodorant if it’s a big hassle or really expensive. Thanks everyone who weighed in on...

    Deodorant with flower water

    I’ve read all the deo threads I could find... Haven’t been able to locate babassu oil that isn’t too spendy with the shipping (I’m in Sweden).
