The shelf life of cornstarch, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and coconut oil are all very long if stored in a dark cool dry place. Pure essential oils don't go rancid. They just lose potency over time. <br />Kendra | Our Homemade Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748915523402496978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661210990952801978.post-27775478747372068192013-01-17T09:50:39.927-08:002013-01-17T09:50:39.927-08:00So glad I stumbled upon this website.

I knew there had to be some other alternative than to cave in and go back to the deodorants on the market with aluminum. I also am intrigued with the homemade facial creams and other products that I can start making for personal and home use. I have bookmarked this website and am excited about trying out many of your ideas. Thanks for your research for people like me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661210990952801978.post-46275635563169362912012-12-16T12:20:53.627-08:002012-12-16T12:20:53.627-08:00I'm glad it's working for you!
