Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Stick Deoderant Note: MEASUREMENTS ARE IN LIQUID OUNCES, NOT BY WEIGHT 8 oz. beeswax 2 oz. distilled water 2 oz. alcohol (everclear, vodka, or rubbing alcohol) 3 oz. unscented talc 2 oz. cornstarch 1 oz. baking soda 1 oz. liquid chlorophyll fragrance (as desired) Prepare molds. Melt wax in double boiler. As the wax cools, add other ingredients, adding chlorophyll and fragrance last. Blend well and pour into molds. If mixture becomes too thick, remelt. Every time you heat the mixture you will loose alcohol and scent, so you may need to add more. Pour into molds - he recommends recycling toilet paper rolls which are covered or decorated to disguise their original use. Keep deodorant sticks in a sealed plastic container (baggie, etc.) to prevent drying out. To use: push up from bottom of tube and rub on underarm area.
