- Homemade All-Natural Deodorant // It’s heating up… finally! And while I love a good sweat in the summer while working outside all day, I need a deodorant that can keep up with me. I’ve tried TONS of all natural options and just haven’t found any I like… or that even work. Until I tried this recipe! I altered several base recipes over the past few months to come up with this one. It works!!! And it’s got all natural ingredients.
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
1 Tablespoon shea butter
1.5 Tablespoons arrowroot powder (cornstarch works too)
.5 Tablespoons baking soda (decrease or skip if you have sensitive skin)
20 drops essential oil, optional (I like citrus, geranium or lavender)*
Directions
Combine the coconut oil and shea butter in a heat safe container. Melt and stir. Add the arrowroot powder and baking soda. Add the essential oil and stir to combine until there’s no lumps. Refrigerate to cool for about 2 hours. Store at room temperature. To use, just rub right on your pits! A little goes a long way. *Note to consult your physician before adding essential oils to find what is compatible with you, your skin, and health conditions.
So truthfully, I've tried melting the ingredients, (same recipe, different person) and it didn't work for me, it was really oily. I tried a recipe with less coconut oil and more shea butter. It didn't require and melting and that worked better for me. Hope this helps someone :)
Thank you so much!!! Natural healing and essential hygiene products is where I’m heading! Gratitude for sharing your recipie😄😇😋
Thanks for watching! And for the kind comment ☺️
Can i sustitude d essential oil with fresh lemon juice or lemon zest? I'm just curious. Thanks for sharing!🙏❣️@AxeAndRootHomestead
that spoon 👀 so cool
And half teaspoon beeswax, will be harder.
Coconut oil caused me to get swollen puss on my armpits that hurt like hell. I guess the oil clogs the pores. Lemon juice and baking soda is all you need to keep the odor away
Oil is the base ingredient of all cosmetics products. It's just a myth that they say oil clogs the pores, to sell their branded skin care products. I make my own skin care products and usually i love using sweet almond oil and extra virgin olive oil for my most products because I am allergic to coconut oil since a last decade.
if you get pus, then use lemons if you get burns, then use coconut oil
If you bathe regularly that shouldn't happen. Did you replicate this recipe or just use coconut oil? This can also happen if you're allergic to coconut. Especially if it itches before the boils form.
What kind of cococut oil were you using? Walmart brand? 😂
These people aren't correct...
Look up a list of comedogenic oils. The ones higher in the scale are the most likely to clog pores. Coconut oil is rated high (4 out of 5), so it's very likely to clog pores. I also learned this the hard way.
Almond, olive, and avocado oils are rated 2, so moderately low.
Castor is 1, so has a low chance of clogging.
Mineral oil (baby oil), safflower oil, sunflower oil, and shea butter are all 0, so they should not clog pores! Non-comedogenic.
I used to use safflower oil all over after a shower and it did not ever clog the pores of my face or body. :)
Alum stone is a miracle. Try it.
Thank you so much
Just made this exact recipe for my little one’s eczema. Now it has 2 uses .
That’s awesome! 🤩
Nope, all evidence says baking soda is irritating and gritty for the sensitive underarm area. And it does next to nothing to prevent odour. You have to use magnesium hydroxide Or don’t bother
Anywayyyy
works beautifully for me. maybe depends on the person perspiration some sweat more than others
Magnesium hydroxide is not the only option. For people who do not have sensitive skin, baking soda is fine, but a better alternative is arrowroot. Arrowroot is closer to the skins pH and absobs sweat as well as it is antibacterial
Not everyone's a pussy
Agreed. Baking soda does nothing. Oil is used in soap making but reacts with lye to create the actual soap. This is some crunchy bullshit. All this is will do is serve as a fatty paste with which to put essential oils on your skin - some of which will trigger allergies, some of which can burn due to acidity or alkalinity. I'm going back to soap making youtube. These crunchy mfs don't know anything.
How long does it last for? I mean shelf-life.
What is the shelf use?
Can we add a few drops of one's fav cologne in this ? Will it work ?
Can I add lemon?
That seems like a lot of essential oil for such a small amount of product. I hope you checked the usage rate.
20 drops isnt a lot. It’s barely a gram.
I did! Thanks!
I'm really sensitive to strong smells...that would be too much for me as well
Baking soda has a high PH and will most likely give you a bad irritating rash.
No it helps absorb smell bro
@@L3onidas It can badly irritate your skin. I know because I have tried it. And I'm not your bro.
@@L3onidasyou've not been burnt by baking soda before, have you? 😂😂 Ok then.
What about yellow under armpit stains ?
Which essential oil should I use? Which should I not use?
Seriously, author of this video, how can you give people such unambiguous information that can lead to serious harm. Some essential oils are dangerous to use and telling the viewer to use a generic essential oil without warnings or considerations is highly unethical. I don’t usually complain on videos and let bygones be bygones, but this video needs to be taken down. There is too much to be left uninterpreted and can cause someone serious bodily harm.
Tbh I'm glad I checked the comments on this video before attempting this. Time to find a new video with comments that make me feel like I can actually use what I end up making!
So go i you’s for myself 😂
Really should say what essential oil. some more irritating then other and 20 drops for what you used might be okay but for another essential oil could cause serious skin reactions. Anyone reading this please weigh your ingredients.. you can get fairly cheap but accurate scales from your local tobacco/smoke store and then look up the recommend amount you should be using for whatever oil you choose
Weigh your ingredients and learn how to use pH litmus paper because you're basically doing chemistry and you shouldn't mess around.
Coconut oil clogs pores, and baking soda and essential oils can cause irritation 🥴
Whats a recipe that you'd recommend?
@@lasercat538 id recommend just buying a deodorant tbh ...
Coconut oil absolutely stinks
Yes but what if your sweat smells like a rotting fish? Is there a stronger version of this?
If your sweat smells like that you can get many other smells to mask or overpower it. But to rid yourself of that smell you have to rid yourself of what’s underlying it which is the inner workings of your body. Nutritional, mental, physical, spiritual healing is needed. The smell, and all other surrounding problems will only grow worse without treatment
@@fleedejesus942 their spirit must be so bad if it makes them smell like rotting fish
@@woooooooolfy4820 who really has a good spirit these days anyway smh
This recipe is crap, you need to use magnesium hydroxide in diy deodorant. And go see a frigging doctor if you stink that bad
Try a nice bath
Imagine the first person who said let me put some random food items on my armpits.
Jk alot of hygeine items are made from foods which is kinda weird.
sorry wtf is araroo powder ?🥴 if thats even right spelling
Arrowroot powder. :)
