Why I'll Never Buy Commercial Deodorant Again

Wednesday, February 1, 2017 12:10

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I’ve had this post in draft form since the middle of February of 2015, which tells me that I’ve been using the following homemade deodorant preparation for almost two years! I used to be a ‘clinical protection’ antiperspirant user, but at close to eight dollars a throw every time I needed to buy it, it was quickly burning through my money because the clinical protection versions are very soft, which means you use them up quickly. Plus, I’ve found that they don’t work nearly as well as the homemade stuff does. As my twenty-something niece told me after wearing it through a six-hour ballet rehearsal, “no stank!” (her words).

Anyway, I’ll never go back to commercial deodorant again because this has saved me a ton of money and worked phenomenally over the course of two years, so consider this a gift from me to you.

For a 4oz jar:

4 T coconut oil (use the same grade you would eat: organic, virgin unrefined cold pressed)

4 T arrowroot powder

1 T baking soda (sodium bicarbonate [Arm and Hammer] which is aluminum free- important!)

3 drops tea tree essential oil
7 drops patchouli essential oil
5 drops lemongrass essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil

In a bowl over a pan of boiling water (or a double boiler if you have one), melt the coconut oil. Mix in the arrowroot powder and baking soda. Remove from heat and allow to cool to pudding consistency. Then mix in the essential oils and quickly get it into the jar because it’s starting to harden at that point.

Helpful tips:

stir well at pudding stage because otherwise the arrowroot powder drops out of suspension and settles
the patchouli is an antibacterial EO so if you don’t like the smell of tea tree oil, skip it and add more patchouli. I find that the patchouli oil, with the lemongrass and lavender goes a long way to covering most of the tea tree oil
apply a pea-size amount to your underarms and rub in well. Then grab a tissue or hunk of toilet paper and blot the excess off to keep it off your clothes

Careful with the essential oils. They can cause irritation to sensitive underarm areas in some people.

Completely agree with you. ^^ I am using natural hand-made deodorant too. My friend recommended me to try a different sollution at shopoffriends.com. They have heirloom solution for treating BO completely and I will say goodbye forever with body odor. I am wondering about it because the high price. Anyone tried it?
