Thanks so much. I actually found the recipe i was looking at a while ago. Seems i took a snap and it was in all my pics. It’s from Oh The Things We Make:

@Blue1969 and @Shelley D if you both wouldn’t mind sharing a recipe i would Really appreciate it. I have been looking up information and of course i read the reviews and i have been getting discouraged. They all say too abrasive for teeth. And i didn’t know that it would not taste good 🤔. I did...

Yep me too. Started with SCM and couldn’t wrap my head around her formulas. She is very knowledgeable, but over my head.

OMG YUM!

Lmao @Saponificarian i am really glad you liked them. And yes @Misschief it was cotton Bernat.

Not at all. We all like different things for our bodies and you don’t like the oily feeling. I hope you can come up with something. Good luck 🤞

Which brings us back to @MelissaG’s problem. I don’t know about other people but i stopped using anything other than water on my face because i felt that the skin must produce as much oil as it needs to “survive”. I don’t mind the oil now that i am older. And apparently gut microbiome is the...

Nope you are not alone trying to keep your face healthy and your body as hair free as possible. Being a woman is definitely a full time job 🤦‍♀️

BUT in all honesty not as much as when i started thank goodness 😅

Ditto about the hair too. Takes an hour to dry 😮‍💨

Lol i am a hairy beastie…if hair is gonna grow trust me it will grow. And i do not want to tempt fate after all the money i have put i to electrolysis $$$$

Seriously?! Is this true? If so then i am not even going to try it on my face for rosacea ☹️

The jury is still out i think, but it seems to be making it better. I had a couple of sore itchy bumps on my forehead and they went down after a couple of days. The tiny bumps on my cheeks seem to have gone down. I may have left treating the rosacea too long, but prescribed medicine wasn’t...

This is interesting because while i was looking for licorice extract to help with my rosacea the woman helping me suggested i also try caster oil. So i bought a bottle, brought it home and put it away, and then couldn’t remember why i bought it 🤦‍♀️ until now when you mentioned it. Thanks for...

Understood

Lmao yes i see your theme. Yes that thread is what got me started as well. And i did wonder about the zinc ric being added along with the Mg and you could be onto something here…maybe with the zinc and less Mg i won’t get that burn 🤔. ANNND yes i don’t like a paste either which is why i have...

Wow you took babassu down to 12%! Do you remember when the deo thread first started? Irish Lass had 60/40 Mg/babassu lol. Why did you decrease babassu so much? I am down to 25% Mg as i find that any higher my pits burn. If you don’t mind i would love to try your recipe. I will just adjust for...

Ah ok. I don’t really want to decrease the wax as the amount is small enough. I can decrease the Mg a bit and the babassu and maybe increase the caprylic as that is an emollient.

Ok so i just made an interim deo because i used up my last one. I had hoped my deconstructed one would have worked but it didn’t. Anyhoo i only used 4% Candelilla wax and it almost tore my pits off 🤦‍♀️. I have to use my hairdryer to warm it up to glide it on. What the heck! Babassu. 40% Mg...

I do too. I have been using Mag hydrox and babassu since the original discussion waaay back. That stuff works great! I have had to reduce my magnesium though because i find my pits are burning. I went from 60 to 50 to 40 and now i am at 27%. And even at 27% it still works. I might have to reduce...
