Hi! Thank you for mentioning! That should have been included in the video. In regards to shelf life: If all ingredients are fresh and the deodorant is stored in a clean, airtight container away from heat and moisture, it should last for about 6 months to 1 year. The primary concern is usually the potential for the oils and butters to go rancid over time, so it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe and observe for any changes in scent or texture that might indicate spoilage. Coconut oil and shea butter can melt at temperatures above 76°F (24°C). Storing your deodorant in the fridge can help maintain its solid consistency, especially during warmer months (and can potentially extend its shelf life because cooler temperatures slow down the degradation of oils and butters). If it becomes too hard in the fridge, you can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before use to soften slightly. Alternatively, you can scoop out a small amount with clean fingers and warm it between your fingers before applying. If you prefer the convenience of having your deodorant readily available at room temperature, you can keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Just monitor its consistency and scent periodically to ensure it hasn't gone rancid or developed an off odor, which would indicate spoilage.

Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for mentioning. My apologies for not mentioning this in the video! Yes, you should strain the cloves after they have infused in the olive oil for the specified period of 2 weeks (or longer if you prefer a stronger flavor). By straining the clove-infused oil, you'll remove the solid cloves and any particles, leaving you with a clear and flavorful clove oil ready for use. Remember to use it within a month if stored outside the refrigerator To strain: 1. Place a sieve over a bowl or directly over the bottle or jar you plan to store the clove oil in. Line the sieve with a layer of cheesecloth. Cheesecloth helps to catch any solid particles, ensuring your clove oil is smooth and free of debris. 2. Carefully pour the infused olive oil through the cheesecloth-lined sieve. The sieve will catch the cloves and any sediment, allowing the clear infused oil to pass through. If you want to extract every bit of infused oil, you can gently press the cloves against the cheesecloth with a spoon or spatula to release any remaining oil. 3. Once strained, transfer the strained clove oil into a sterilized bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Make sure the container is also sterilized to ensure the oil stays fresh longer. 4. Store the clove oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you want to prolong its shelf life, you can store it in the refrigerator, which can help maintain its freshness.

Hi! I appreciate your trust, but I'm not a doctor. It would be best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional for proper treatment.

Yes, you can substitute cooking oil for the olive oil. Cooking oils such as vegetable oil or sunflower oil can be used as alternatives to olive oil. The purpose of the oil is to extract the aromatic and beneficial compounds from the cloves, so using a different type of cooking oil should still achieve a similar result.

@@natural_nan can i put all the ingredients in the blender? And blend it?

Yes! Homemade white butter should work just fine, as long as it has a similar fat content to regular butter. The key is to mix it well with milk until you achieve the desired texture and richness.

Yes, you can buy clove oil for making your own perfume. Clove oil is available from various suppliers, including online retailers (like Amazon), health food stores, and some pharmacies. Just make sure it is pure essential clove oil.

I heard that damp hair can take up the peroxide well, but I feel this might damage the hair. I tried it with coconut underneath, and it didn't really make it noticeably lighter. It did add nice blonde highlights, very subtle, but it was drier.

Hi! I sympathize with you as I have to manage eczema. We did do a video a while back on psoriasis here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwShTEGAQtM.html My advice in regards to using baking soda for psoriasis, is just test with a small amount on a small part of the psoriasis-affected skin, everyday for a few days, to see if you get any negative reaction. Some find relief with it and some do not so just do a small test first. Many also use it in a bath, perhaps in combination with epsom salt, so you could test that as well. The best things to manage complicated skin issues like psoriasis and eczema are proper nutrition, sleep, and movement. Those 3 need to be done right. I don't use any chemical creams etc, I just try to do those 3 the best I can to keep it managed the best I can. I wish you all the best!

💚🧡 Thank you for watching!
