DIY | Homemade Deoderant | No Baking Soda

Hey, YouTube!! Thanks for watching!! Love Ya!!

Before using this, you may want to detox your armpits. See my video: https://youtu.be/jtBmw5aARBw
*RECIPE*

*Ingredients*

½ cup coconut oil
1/2 cup shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter (or a mix of all three equal to 1 part) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008S1VHDM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B008S1VHDM&linkCode=as2&tag=shunnab-20&linkId=6029316d9ea9cf67d233267c0c5b3730
½ cup + 1 tsp beeswax https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3U0FW4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B3U0FW4&linkCode=as2&tag=shunnab-20&linkId=e81996703378bc40d89d4a289a3182e7
1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil – optional
3 tablespoons baking soda (Omit this if you have sensitive skin and just use extra arrowroot or cornstarch) *I didn't use the baking soda in this video.*
1/2 cup organic arrowroot powder https://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=shunnab-20&keywords=B00OJ757SK&index=aps&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=b4bad9ccfafe1891fac41462b90f6c63

Optional: Essential oils of choice – I used about 10 drops of lemon and 10 drops of eucalyptus oil.

Combine coconut oil, shea (or other) butter, and beeswax in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1 inch of water in it.

Stir ingredients constantly until they are melted and smooth:
Remove from heat and add the vitamin E oil, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and essential oils.

Gently stir by hand until all ingredients are incorporated.

If you will be making these into bars, pour into muffin tins or other molds while still liquid. If you will be putting into an old deodorant container to use like stick deodorant, let the mixture harden for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature to harden and when it is about the consistency of peanut butter, use a spoon to scoop into the deodorant tube and pack down to fill.

Then, leave the cap off overnight to completely harden before using.

*Note*: This recipe can be adjusted to make any quantity that you’d like by increasing the amount of ingredients used. This batch made enough deodorant for my husband and I for about 2-3 months. You could also cut the recipe in half if you want to make a smaller amount.

*FAQs*

*Why is mine taking so long to harden?*
This is common when using the baking soda. Try putting it in the fridge for a few hours to harden.

*It seems to be leaving stains on my shirt- what do I do?*
This is likely just due to the oil residue that is there for a few minutes right after it is applied. Try keeping it in the fridge so a smaller amount is transferred to skin or waiting approximately 5 minutes after applying before putting a shirt on.

*Help! I have a horrible rash after a few days/weeks/months of using this.*
This is also common in some skin types and if you have used conventional deodorant for a long time and have a build up of the chemicals from that deodorant in your skin. I’ve found that doing an armpit detox once a week makes a huge difference. You can also try omitting the baking soda from the recipe, which resolves the issue for most people.

*Is this an antiperspirant?*
No. Stopping the body’s ability to sweat is not a natural process and there is no way that I know of to accomplish this naturally. The good news is that you will sweat less and less as your body adjusts to a natural deodorant and it won’t be needed anymore. Again, the armpit detox can help speed that up. I went from using clinical strength deodorant to not needing an antiperspirant at all and just using a very light natural deodorant.
