DIY DEODORANT

Ingredients: 

3 tbsp Coconut Oil 

3 tbsp Baking Soda 

2 tbsp Shea Butter 

2 tbsp Arrowroot (optional) 

or organic cornstarch 

25 drop essential oils (pick your favorite scent!) 

Instructions: 

1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler over medium heat until barely melted. 

2. Remove from heat and add baking soda and arrowroot (If you don’t have arrowroot, use more baking soda or just omit). Mix well! 

3. Add essential oils and pour them into an empty, old deodorant stick or glass container for storage. It does not need to be stored in the fridge.

Antiperspirant 

The antiperspirant finger-pointing began more than 40 years ago with new discoveries about Alzheimer’s, progressive dementia that affects more than five million Americans. 

Antiperspirants use compounds—such as aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate, and aluminum zirconium—to form a temporary sweat duct plug. 

Researchers back then found that exposure to aluminum caused rabbits’ brains to develop nerve cell damage— thought to be a precursor to Alzheimer’s at the time—and long-term dialysis patients with high levels of the metal developed dementia.

What Is Earth5R’s Home Equals Planet Project?

Home Equals Planet is an initiative comprising 15 tangible actions that citizens take on an individual level. These are a step toward a sustainable planet and a healthier lifestyle. The actions promote simple actions like eating home-cooked food, segregating waste, spending time in nature, and so on.

The 15 actions are associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and aim to create a better future for all by 2030. Home Equals Planet covers areas like Waste Management, Health, creating a Circular Economy, etc.
