At a certain point, we decided to start releasing recipes that are not necessarily aimed at getting edible goodies, and this preparation is one of them. Miriam has always been very passionate about homemade cosmetics, and the truth is that making vegan cosmetics at home is not only unbelievably easy, but it also yields the most natural results possible. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your own deodorant, have a look at our video, and do know that we have plenty of other cosmetic recipes for you to choose from.
