I havent read the other comments, but I'm an herbalist & I know that when u use essential oils u must be mindful of the fact that within 20 mins or less the essential oils have permeated into EVERY cell in the body. Most recipes I use for like moisturizer call for 3 or 4 drops.. TOPS. More is needed for say a toilet cleaning product, but not for the body. So I will err on the safer side & slide back a bit on the amounts of essential oils. You decide for yourself what is best..Sandy kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246015789413127615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-48533942856968044002014-12-26T11:54:25.574-06:002014-12-26T11:54:25.574-06:00Hi Sofia.

They had to have changed it somehow to get it to stay liquid, since coconut oil melts at 76 degrees F, so perhaps it's lighter and tends to float. So maybe you need to stir it every time before you use it?

I do find that on warmer days, I need to reapply in the evenings, but even so, it's well worth it! I have the same problem that many have: red and slightly itchy with bumps. After researching a little I found that it's a very common problem and I found this blog that addresses the issue being about the skin having an unbalanced pH and using apple cider vinegar/water first to balance your skin's pH. Haven't tried it yet but hope it works because this deodorant is *amazing.*<br /><br />http://www.crunchybetty.com/new-news-and-ph-balancing-your-old-homemade-deodorant-problemsJamie Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157304718133113504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-64255712461857780532014-06-15T20:40:58.236-05:002014-06-15T20:40:58.236-05:00i used lavender and tea tree oil and it smells ama...i used lavender and tea tree oil and it smells amazing with the coconut.
