Does anyone know if this is firm enough to but into mini deodorant tubes?
I want to try my own balms and have no idea where to start. This helps me get a start, plus reading the other comments.
Need to try this!!
Can you use any other kind oil in place of the jojoba oil?
Yes, you can absolutely sub for the carrier oil of your choice.
Any other oil recommendations fora nursing mom?
I know peppermint and spearmint aren’t recommended.
Thank you
Spearmint and Tea Tree are both safe, I would recommend omitting the peppermint and just using the other two oils. Here’s a great blog post with a Pregnancy/Nursing chart for easy reference 🙂 https://www.planttherapy.com/blog/2014/07/16/pregnancy_safe_use_chart/
