Notes
- Non-Metal Tools: Why? When bentonite clay comes into contact with metal, it becomes less effective. Use wood, glass, or plastic tools at all times.
- Detox Phase: You can experience a detox phase if you’re moving away from commercial deodorants. This is typical! Clay aids in removing pollutants that aluminum-based antiperspirants have retained.
- Keep it out in a dry, cool area. In warm weather, if it melts, place it in the refrigerator until it solidifies again.
