How To Make Homemade Deodorant | Natural Deodorant Review | Aluminium Free Deodorant

Homemade deodorants don’t have the best reputation – and for good reason! I researched several DIY deodorant recipes, and even tried a few including “how to make natural deodorant that works – 3 ingredients” spoiler alert: it didn’t work. But with increasing concern over some of the ingredients used in cosmetics and several studies suggesting a link between risk of breast cancer and aluminium deodorants – I wanted to seriously look into finding an alternative to deodorant and provide a fair natural deodorant review.

Just to be clear, I know there is a difference between homemade natural deodorant and homemade antiperspirant – but who in there right mind wants a natural deodorant that doesn’t work as an antiperspirant?! I’m judging this bentonite clay natural deodorant DIY on both it’s ability to fight against odour and absorb moisture.

For this Natural Deodorant Review I focused on 4 areas: “Assembly” covers the process of how to make homemade deodorant, “Application” refers to how easy it is to apply, “Cost” examines how expensive a DIY Deodorant Stick can be, and finally “Effectiveness” is the overall natural deodorant review to see how well it actually works.

My DIY Try It or Buy It Series aims to put natural DIY and homemade beauty recipes to the test to see if any of them actually work! You can check out my first review of Flaxseed Hair Gel here:

How to make homemade deodorant without baking soda
Modified Recipe:
• 1 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons Beeswax (for vegan version use Candelilla Wax)
• 2 tablespoons Shea Butter
• 2 tablespoons Bentonite Clay
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot Powder
• 20 drops essential oil(s) of choice

The original recipe doesn’t make a vegan deodorant and also includes baking soda that is a known irritant and can be harsh on sensitive skin.
How to make natural Deodorant:
• 4 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons Beeswax (substitute as above for vegan deodorant)
• 2 tablespoons Shea Butter
• 2 tablespoons Bentonite Clay
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
• 25 drops of Essential Oil(s)

I decided to try a homemade natural deodorant with bentonite clay recipe because bentonite clay deodorant are amazing at detoxifying your armpits. I tried to reduce the number of ingredients without sacrificing it’s effectiveness in order to make this DIY deodorant as easy to make as possible. Below are some of the benefits of making your own homemade natural deodorant:

Coconut Oil is antibacterial as well as antifungal, it’s usually a crucial ingredient in any DIY deodorant recipe as it also helps the deodorant to glide on easily and absorb into your skin.

Shea Butter is makes natural deodorants incredibly moisturizing which is usually pretty rare for conventional deodorants!

Baking soda helps to absorb moisture and eliminates odours. In my modified homemade deodorant recipe I left out the baking soda because it made the texture extremely gritty. Baking soda also can irritate sensitive skin. In order to do a fair natural deodorant review, I tried both recipes with and without baking soda and didn’t notice any difference in regards to how well the natural deodorant works so I would leave it out!

Beeswax can be easily substituted for Candellia to make this natural deodorant recipe completely vegan. Wax helps to make DIY deodorants solid so I would encourage leaving it in. Watch my full natural deodorant review for more on this!

Arrowroot powder helps the homemade deodorant wick away moisture and keep the skin dry.

Bentonite clay deodorants or any homemade deodorant with bentonite clay in addition to detoxifying, also absorbs excess moisture and eliminate odour.

Essential oils have different benefits depending on which one you choose, but they will all provide a pleasant fragrance to any natural deodorant recipe.
