How To Make Your Own Deodorant With Only 3 All Natural Ingredients!

why-do-armpits-smell

Have you looked at the ingredients of your deodorant lately? I have and I can tell you I have no idea what half of the ingredients are. Our skin is our largest organ and the skin absorbs these unnatural ingredients/chemicals that are in these deodorants! I have been on a quest to not only change my diet with wholesome ingredients, but also to change my skincare products to all natural and homemade products.

For some time now, I have been searching for a natural alternative for deodorant. I have tried straight coconut oil and that works well, but sometimes on hot and sticky days I was left with some slightly sticky and slightly wet arm pits. So I kept searching for something that protected against wetness, stickiness, and order. Well I finally found the perfect deodorant! This recipe came from a friend of mine, Rhonda Harader Cain.  A lot of you might know Rhonda from our Facebook Page. She is an active member and offers a lot of great information (Thanks Rhonda!) 🙂

So here is the recipe. It is made with 3 ingredients. Coconut oil, arrowroot powder and baking soda! That is it, how simple is that! So the next time you are in need for some deodorant, try this…You won’t be disappointed!

 

 

How To Make Your Own Deodorant With Only 3 Natural Ingredients!
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
Instructions
  1. Mix all the ingredients together and with a fork work the ingredients together to form a solid substance.
  2. Put your mixture/deodorant into a small airtight container.
  3. When you are ready to use, simple put a little under your arm pit and allow to dry for a few minutes.

    I love it! I found the recipe on a blog but cannot remember the name of it. : ( I used Tea Tree Oil and a cinnamon/clove blend for essential oils.

    I figured you could add some kind of essential oil, but I just love the smell of coconut oil 🙂 Wonder if you could add some baby powder Rhonda for a baby powder scented deodorant?

    I would not see why & a great idea! I used Tea Tree oil due to its healing & antibacterial properties. I love the smell of cinnamon & cloves : )

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!!!!  I have tried so many different deodorants and recipes and they don’t work or I am allergic to them.  This homemade deodorant is AMAZING to say the least!  By any chance do you or Rhonda have a shampoo and conditioner recipe (allergic to them too)?

    Hi i made this and found it felt gritty any ideas where i have gone wrong or is it suppose to ???

      JoanneParker1Try backing down a bit on the baking soda and that should help.  My last batch I used 6 tbsp of arrowroot and 2 tbsp of baking soda.  Other than being gritty for you (which I have not noticed in my batches), did the deodorant work for you?
