Hello! thank you for your comment!
I actually do have a video about home-made deodorant here, that has been working for me for more than 8 years! It's so simple, I can even explain it just here - mix baking soda and corn starch 1:1, than add coconut oil, keep adding and mixing until you get a smooth ointment texture, a few drops of favorite essential oils are good) That's it. My husband (Hive account@clixmoney) also uses it, it really keeps us from having any odours, even in hot summer, it's effect lasts 24 hours, or even more)

As for product testing, no testing, just I find some recipe, try it, and see whether I like it)) But my friends and family are not so excited about diy eco-friendly stuff, so I don't have effect on them... They believe in commercial products only. Except for my husband)

The things I make for myself are: deodorant, dish-washing powder, desinfecting gel, toilet refreshener, skin care products, mouth wash. The only thing I buy for the house is laundry powder. I used to make my own out of soda and grated soap, but my washing machine broke down. It was old, but everybody is sure it's because of my powder, so husband doesn't allow this any more with the new machine. Now I order laundry powder from iHerb, because in our country all household products have to be tested on animals by law :'((((((((
