Roll On Deodorant Formula

July 09, 2021

Phase 1
  • 15 % Virgin Abyssinian or other light oil
  • 3 %  25 BTMS or other emulsifier at its recommended dosage
  • 2% Zinc Ricinooleate
Phase 2
  • 70 % distilled water
  • 5 % glycerin or other humectant
  • 1 %  Zinc PCA or more, as needed for effectiveness
  • 3 %  Leucidal or other preservative at recommended dosage
  • 1 % essential oils optional.  We do recommend fragrances for deodorant as it is too close to your lymph nodes. Try our Roman Chamomile which has a wonderful apple scent!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Weigh out phase 1 in a double boiler 
  • Melt until just melted and combined
  • Separately, weigh Phase 2 heat in a double boiler until they are fully dissolved. Ideally you will get both the water and oil ingredients around 70º-75ºC/160º-170ºF before combining them.
  • Add phase 1 to phase 2 combine gently.
  • As the mixture cools, keep stirring. If the mixture doesn’t appear to be emulsifying well, you can use the help of an immersion blender or milk frother. The only inconvenience of using a milk frother is that it does tend to make some foam, but with this sort of light lotions of sorts, it should settle down relatively quickly once you’ve stopped mixing.
  • Once the emulsion has mostly cooled, you can add in essential oils
  • Add in your preservative. Depending on the preservative you are using, you may have to test for pH and then adjust the pH by adding lactic acid to get your deodorant mixture into the right range for your particular preservative. Add the amount recommended for your preservative. (This recipe adds up to around 100g, so add a gram for each percent amount needed. So, for example, if your preservative calls for usage at 1%, add 1g.)
  • You may add in a few drops of other active ingredients that you like. A few drops of vitamin E or D-Panthenol are great optional additions to this deodorant.
  • Mix together all ingredients, you may need to use a stick blender when the mixture has totally cooled down to keep it emulsified.  Pour the mixture into a roll on dispenser. If you can’t find a decent sized roll on deodorant dispenser, you can repurpose an old one. Make sure to take it apart and fully clean all parts of it. I also like to give all parts a final rinse in denatured or rubbing alcohol.
  • Cap your deodorant, and it’s ready for use!

      Magnesium Body Butter

      May 07, 2021

      Equipment Required: 
      Double boiler 2 cup size, scale, thermometer, small pot to boil the water phase 2 cup size, glass jar approx 2 cup size
      Water Phase
      • 25g Magnesium Flakes
      • 25g Warm Distilled Water
      • 2g Aspen Bark Extract Phytocide
      Oil Phase 
      • 100g Shea Butter
      • 30g Jojoba Oil
      • 10g Emulsifying Wax 
      Cool Down (at appropriate %’s)
      • 2g Vitamin E Oil
      • 1g soothing essential oils 
      Mix your water phase until it is totally dissolved and set aside (keep warm). 
      Melt your oil phase in a double boiler until just melted. Let it cool completely before adding your water phase in small amounts, blending in each amount before adding more.

      Adding MgCl at the front end of the formulation virtually guarantees that the emulsion will not form and/or break.

      Combine your water phase and your oil phase and use a stick blender to emulsify.  Add your cool down phase when your mixture is below 70°C and combine.
      Magnesium is known to reduce muscle tension, lessen pain associated with migraine headaches, improve sleep, and address neurological disorders such as anxiety and depression.

      Easy Anahydrous Whipped Body Butter

      March 01, 2021 1 Comment

      Our goal is to use as little heat as possible when creating this moisturizing butter formula


      Ingredients

      29% Cocoa Butter

      5% Illipe Butter

      5% Murumuru Butter Virgin

      60% Jojoba Oil

      1% essential oil

      Heat your jojoba oil over a double boiler until it reaches 360 Degrees F.  Remove from double boiler and pour over your butters mixing with a spoon. When the mixture is completely melted, let it cool off in the freezer or refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until you see a solid layer form over the top.  

      Just prior to mixing with your blender add your essential oil when the mixture is cool enough to not degrade the essential oil.

      Use an electric hand mixer or immersion blender to whip/mix until the product starts to form into a butter-like consistency. Scoop into your jars.

      TIP:  Allow your solid butters to be at room temperature, so the heated jojoba can slowly melt them without extra heat.

      A piping bag can be used to fill your jars. The product does not require refrigeration unless the ambient temperature is too warm.

      Shelf Life:  1 to 2 years
