cool.. you could also make anti-transpirant if you add alum! if I remember correctly it should be about 5-8%, not more or it'll dry out your skin too much (I made some spray antitranspirant once)

Should this be used as soap, or as an external under-arm deodorant?

I haven't tried it yet myself, but I think coconut oil would probably work instead of the cocoa butter.

Hi Danielle,
is there any other butter or oil I can use instead of cocoa butter?

Oops, of course!

250 grams of cocoa butter
50 grams of beeswax
50 grams of baking soda
100 + drops of essential oil depending on how smelly you'd like it

Also, exactly HOW MUCH of each ingredient do we need?

That's really cool... if I weren't dead-set on using anti-perspirant I'd try making this myself for sure!
