Follow This Super Easy Natural Deodorant Recipe
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make deodorant with my favorite natural deodorant recipe. But before we get started, there are a few things you should know:
When you switch from using conventional deodorants to natural deodorants, you might go through a transition period.
During this period, you might get a rash under your arms when you use it or it might be irritated or itchy.
If this happens, there are things you can do to help such as leaving out baking soda from the ingredients list or doing an armpit detox to get rid of all of the toxins that have built up over time from using conventional deodorants.
Best Arrowroot powder!
Tools and materials:
- Shea butter
- Coconut oil
- Baking soda
- Arrowroot powder
- Essential oils (optional)
- Jar
1. Gather your ingredients
You need 2 TBSPs of shea butter, 3 TBSPs of coconut oil, 3 TBSPs of baking soda, and 2 TBSPs of arrowroot powder.
You can also use essential oils, but these are optional. I like to use them to get a natural fragrance.
2. Combine the shea butter and coconut oil
Combine the shea butter and coconut oil in a quart-sized glass mason jar.
3. Melt the shea butter and coconut oil
Place the mason jar in a small saucepan of water over medium heat until the ingredients are melted.
4. Add the baking soda and arrowroot powder
Remove the mason jar from heat and add the baking soda and arrowroot powder to the melted oils.
5. Mix
Mix everything together until it’s completely combined.
6. Add essential oils
Add the essential oils if you’re using them and mix well.
7. Pour the mixture into a container or jar and store
Pour the mixture into a glass jar or old deodorant container for storage.
You don’t need to store the mixture in the fridge and you can keep it at room temperature, but it may take several hours to completely harden.
Placing it in the fridge can speed up the hardening process.
