Soothing, yet effective, this natural homemade deodorant stick works without baking soda nor coconut oil, and uses zinc to help combat odors for those with sensitive skin. I also make homemade fabric softener — recipe courtesy of Suzanne @ At Home with the Farmer's Wife. I started making my own homemade deodorant and it's easy, safe and quick and best of all, I know exactly what's in it. I have never been able to tolerate regular deodorant and have to constantly switch about every month. Because of that we travel with the crystal deodorants in the summer but will see how the 92 degree coconut oil works.
Switching to a natural deodorant will help keep your skin fresh and your health in check. I hope you'll try my Homemade Spray Deodorant recipe - it's so simple and super convenient! Hi, I have sensitive skin too and All I want to use is the arrowroot, shea butter and coconut oil. As for other homemade bath essentials, I like to use a mixture of honey and baking soda once or twice a week as a facial cleanser. I can't find arrowroot where I live (most Texans aren't in to trying new holistic things) and I'm out of deodorant now and wanted to make some so I don't have time to order any online. For example, the first time I bought a little container of Shea butter, I thought that I wasn't going to be able to afford to keep making my own deodorant. The first recipe was good, but too greasy, so the second time around I just added more clay.
I stock an ingredient cupboard with herbal infused oils, and a few staples items for making homemade cleaning products, homemade cosmetics, and homemade personal care products. I've bought from the Primal Pit Paste company and their deodorant reddened my arms but didn't burn. Cancer experts are up in arms over two recent studies linking deodorant use to breast cancer, saying conclusions from the studies are flawed. I pour it into a cleaned-out deo container and stick it in the fridge for an hour or so to firm up. Then it's usually fine sitting out, unless it's warm.
It wasn't until AFTER I added the clay that I wondered why no one had talked about the fact that this would RUIN your clothes. Putting bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar in my pits would just further irritate and dry them out, so I wouldn't recommend detox" as an answer to anyone and everyone having a reaction to this or other formulas.
Combine 1 cup of distilled water, 1/4 cup witch hazel and seven drops of tea tree oil in a spray bottle. It took a lot of trial and error to get to this, but it was well worth it. This is one iron-clad homemade recipe that doesn't stink. I used only 1 Tbsp of baking soda and arrowroot powder for the rest upon reading other commenters' sensitivity issues and this is working for me. If you use the same amount of deodorant as store-bought ones, you are using too much so a rash may occur. Baking soda is an effective deodorant because it alters the pH under your arms, making it a hostile environment for bacteria to form. We keep a spray bottle of alcohol (ever clear or golden grain) with EO, a container of plain coconut oil, and a jar of this blend handy to keep our bodies guessing and relief from any of the iffy ingredients. Good post Katie, I've been making mine with vodka but I like the coconut oil idea.
