Previously I’ve made homemade deodorant powder using a combination of cornstarch and baking soda. It’s a pretty simple recipe to be sure, but I wanted to see if it even needs to be that complicated. I wanted to see if you really need both ingredients to make an effective deodorant powder.
I decided to try using starch and baking soda individually for several days each to find out either one can be used as effective homemade deodorant powder.
Everybody finds themselves in need of a little moisture control from time to time and a simple homemade body powder is be the perfect fix. Whether you’re getting sweaty being all athletic or if it’s just hot out having a good homemade body powder handy can make all the difference between being perfectly comfy or being uncomfortable and clammy.
This homemade body powder is very similar to my homemade deodorant recipe however the ratios are a little different. Since deodorant has the tougher job of fighting odor it has a lot more baking soda than this recipe does. Since with this recipe we are fighting moisture we have more absorbent than anything else!
Let’s make our homemade body powder!
I recently did a post on how to make your own homemade shoe deodorizer powder which works great. But there are some shoes that I wouldn’t ever want to dump a load of powder into, and I’m sure you probably do too.
So to solve that problem, I came up with my own solution for homemade shoe deodorizers which doesn’t require you to pour powder into you shoes to get those unpleasant smells out. Instead the end result is a tidy little bundle that works just as well and looks a lot nicer than a pile of powder too, and you can make them in whatever fabric you like.
