Here is a recipe I use at home that is all natural and smells wonderful!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup arrowroot
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
10 drops Cleansing Blend essential oil blend
10 drops Invigorating Blend essential oil blend, Lavender, Grounding Blend, or Wild Orange.
Melt the coconut oil in a pan over low heat. Pour the oil into a bowl with the arrowroot powder, baking soda and essential oils. Cleansing Blend is well known for helping to eliminate odors. I usually use the Invigorating Blend as it is my favorite oil to smell and always improves my mood.
Lavender and Wild Orange are also great alternatives. These oils are fairly inexpensive so this is a homemade deodorant you can use that saves you money!

I make a similar deodorant. Thank you for linking up at Wildcrafting Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful and my pleasure :)
DeleteI am on my second day using a similar recipe. I can't believe how soft my underarms are already--shaving was so easy and not rough.
ReplyDeleteIt really does help smooth the skin and prevent irritation.
DeleteI do like the idea of being able to add essential oils to this recipe, both for therapeutic purposes and for their lovely scent :)
ReplyDeleteIt really does make it so much better and I love the uplifting smells on me :)
DeleteI make a similar one, but will try less baking soda next time...the first natural deodorant that actually works for me! I use shea butter too, and the creaminess is a huge bonus!
ReplyDeleteAhh Shea Butter-must try adding that to this recipe. Thanks friend for the awesome suggestion!
DeleteTry adding vegetable glycerin to make it creamier. This worked very well for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteDo you just leave it in the bowl and apply with hand?
ReplyDeleteI put it into a medium size container for storage and then apply from there.
Deletedid you share a recipe about a deo roll on recently? I thought I commented on it on facebook, but I cannot find it!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I will make that for myself. I wonder about making a slightly more affordable version to sell thou? I have 1 oz roll ons that I would like to use.
DeleteEssential oils can add different fragrances to your deodorant. With enough experimentation you could even make men's, women's or unisex deodorant.PrimitiveOutpost
