Want to know what I keep in my lovely rose-bedecked porcelain container? Please don't tell anyone, because it's my secret formula, but I will share it with my Pink Saturday friends...

It's my homemade antiperspirant and pink powder puff!
I delight in making everything that I possibly can from "scratch." Not only do I cook mostly from scratch, but I make many of my own personal products including my antiperspirant. I have to admit I have tried many, many different recipes over the years before finding this very simple, but effective combination:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup cornstarch
a few drops tea tree oil
Combine in a bowl and mix well. Pour into a beautiful container and make yourself a pink fleece powder puff adorned with a silky ribbon handle. I promise you will smile every time you apply your new antiperspirant. The pure ingredients are body-friendly. I even brush the powder on any itchy insect bites I may have for instant relief.
So, how about you? Do you make any of your own personal products? I would love to hear about your homemade experiments... the triumphs and the flops.

You are one creative lady! I was thinking about making my own laundry soap. I might try this. I love the pink powder puff!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday sweet friend! Hugs Anne
Love the pink powder puff. I might try this...so many chemicals aren't good in the store bought products.
ReplyDeleteI really love the powder puff. I try to buy all hypo-allerenic since I'm allergic to so many things. This sounds interesting though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing it with us and Happy Pink Saturday!

Oh my Sherry!!!!!!!!! How beautiful..
ReplyDeletethe container and puff are so sweet and delicate, and then to know you
came up with this recipe yourself!!!!
I just have to try this..but I don't have a clue where to find the oil.
Health Food store..Pharmacy??
Happy Pinks sweet Sherry..and have a beautiful weekend.
Hi Sherry, I must say, I have never, ever heard anyone say they make their own antiperspirant. That is so interesting! How long does it last? I do make some of my own cleaning products, but simple things using olive oil, lemon juice and vinegar. Hmmm, I might have to think about this antiperspirant thing. YOu have it stored so beautifully. :) Have a super Saturday, Tammy
ReplyDeleteLovely pinks!! I adore that jar!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
Love that you make your own personal care products.
ReplyDeleteWOW THIS IS AWESOME, I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO GIVE IT A TRY!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOUR PINK FLUFFY POWDER PUFF :) HAVE A GREAT PINK SATURDAY :)
WOW! Sherry, I'm lucky i can cook never mind make my own personal products. I give you lots of credit for being so self sufficent.
ReplyDeleteCute and creative, how wonderful it is to be able to make your own!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative- that's pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd while I don't create personal products, I do sew (I even have a picture of my new project up for my PS post!) and I cook.
Love your fun post today!

Oh, my gosh..I'm visiting too late again, but I'm here..that's what counts doesn't it? So, Happy Belated Pink Saturday to you and I hope you'll visit my PS-post and enter my give-away! Love, Esther XX
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, I just ran across your blog for the first time and I must say, I am delighted to see that you are making your own "chemical free" personal care products. I make all of my soap and have started making my own laundry detergent. The powder puff is gorgeous! I will be a new follower, too...♥ your log, Gerry
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday (a week late!)~what a pretty pink puff and container for your homemade anti-perspirant. Great idea! I have all the ingredients...and I use tea tree oil myself for various uses. Do you suppose I could also add a few drops of lavender oil???
ReplyDeleteOh Sherry...I'm so in love with your pink flowered porcelain container! I'm also a powder puff kinda gal and your holder is beautiful. Now I'll be on the lookout for one! Happy Pink Saturday, fondly, Roberta

I found your blog through Caillin's and I'm so glad I did. Please give the instructions for the soap and I'm definitely going to give the anti-p recipe a go.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing lovely post.thank you for recipe I certainly need it any ideas for hair loss? HPS!
ReplyDeleteSherry, thank you so much for posting this! I have been wanting something like this because I know deodorant isn't good for you. I make my own laundry detergent and love it! I have tried making dishwashing detergent, but less satisfactory results. I do think home made is better! Twyla
