You can remove the essential oils and include allantoin and bisabolol, the suggested dosages are fine. Glycerin is not necessary.

If the essential oils are removed and in their place I add glycerin, allantoin and bisabolol (in c phase all), can the product be used by pregnant women? Allantoin is ok at 1% dosage and bisabolol at 0.5%?

Hello. The alum stone will not melt being water soluble and not in oils, but it can disperse with thorough mixing. Follow the directions given in the recipe exactly.

Hello, do you have any idea why I can't melt the alum stone? It keeps falling off the wand, sticking to the bottom, but it won't melt...

Yes, bamboo powder has properties that recommend it for such applications. We recommend partial replacement of rice powder, at most half, since bamboo powder leaves white marks.

I know bamboo powder has properties suitable for inclusion in deodorants. Would it be effective to replace rice powder with it ( or partially)?

Hello Diana. From our point of view, the formula you suggest is not optimal for a deodorant. The sodium bicarbonate is in too high a dosage, as is the cypress essential oil; the castor oil does not bring any benefits here, and the formula lacks a texturizing/binder agent, especially if you propose to use the deodorant in a stick-type container.

Hello Andreea. Yes, you can induce the suggested ingredients, they all go into the C phase, and you adjust for the vegetable silicone (first in the table). Glycerin is not soluble in oily mediums, but it can disperse if you use a small amount, we suggest no more than 3% in this formula, and mix very well before pouring. Good luck!

Hello Adina. Deodorant can also be prepared with beeswax, but without tests, we cannot give you an optimal percentage. The co-emulsifier Stabila cannot be replaced with Protecta, possibly with cetearyl alcohol. Sodium bicarbonate can be included, but even in this case, unfortunately, we cannot tell you how much would be appropriate.

Hello, Could you please tell me what adjustments I should make to bring the following replacements (depending on the stock I already have from you): - candelilla and soy wax can be replaced with beeswax? - can Stabila co-emulsifier be replaced with Protecta emulsifier? - can corn starch be replaced with bicarbonate? Thank you.
