Question

I am interested in making soap that can help with body odor. I have seen soaps available commercially that state they help kill bacteria and deodorize. Since I can purchase raw materials myself, I would like to try making it instead of buying it.

How to Make Deodorant Soap

Making your own deodorant soap is a great way to customize your personal care products. Body odor is often caused by bacteria on the skin breaking down sweat.

Here are some ingredients you can consider adding to your soap base to help reduce body odor:

  • Odor-Kill DO™ (Octenidine HCl, Deodorant): This ingredient is effective against odor-causing bacteria and can be used in cleansing formulas. It helps control the germs that contribute to body odor. Recommended usage rate is 0.1-1.0%.
  • DeoMax™ Liquid: Derived from fruit tannin, this liquid is effective against various types of body odor and can help inhibit or kill odor-causing bacteria. It can be used in deodorant soap formulations. Recommended usage rate is 1-3% (recommended 1%).
  • Odor-Kill™: This powder ingredient works by absorbing odors. It is effective against certain body odors. Note that it can also absorb fragrance, so consider this if you plan to scent your soap. Recommended usage rate is 0.3-3% (recommended 0.5-1.0%).
  • Citromask™ (Natural Deodorizer): This natural deodorizer can be used in soaps and is effective on fatty acid-related body odor and cigarette smell. It is soluble in oil or alcohol. Recommended usage rate in deodorizers is 1%.

You can incorporate these ingredients into a suitable soap base. Always follow the recommended usage rates for each ingredient to ensure effectiveness and safety.
