Use a small sauce pan to create a double boiler by adding water to the saucepan and placing a heat-safe bowl on top. This method protects the fragile ingredients from burning. No Harmful Chemicals –Using a non-toxic deodorant is one of the best swaps you can make. Many commercial deodorants contain toxic ingredients like parabens, aluminum, dye, and triclosan. I highly recommend googling these ingredients to learn more about their effects.



For example aluminum is linked to breast tumors and Alzheimer’s. Trichinosis is based around a chemical fertilizer and is potentially cancer forming, while Propylene Glycol has been linked to liver damage.

Even in small concentrations, propylene glycol has been shown to provoke allergies, as well as eye and skin irritation in some people.
You will need to test it several times. The Zinc will make it harder to achieve the color and you will use more clay or cocoa than if you don’t include it. Bentonite, if green will make it darker and helps hide redness, so it will be a delicate process (you can also omit it and you don’t have to worry about it).

Pour into your deodorant containers or your glass container. Place somewhere away from lots of movement so that it has time to settle. Remember that coconut oil liquifies at 24ºC (76ºF), so if you live somewhere very warm, you might need to stir it up a bit before using. When I first switched to natural deodorant, I developed a red rash on both of my underarms.
You can read more about the benefits of white kaolin clay for sensitive skin, but I used it in this recipe because it’s super effective and mid at the same time. I wanted to use diatomaceous earth, but I’d have to wait too long for the delivery, so I decided to use kaolin clay instead. I just made this recipe and the bentonite clay didn’t mix well with everything else. I’m very sure that I followed the measurements on the recipe. I microwaved the coconut oil and beeswax for 2.5 minutes items and it was hot and melted after stirring.
Use both for double the absorption power by mixing one part baking soda with six parts cornstarch—no water—and dusting a little on your underarms. The problem with these ingredients is that they're terrible for the planet, from the mining of aluminum to the discharge of parabens into streams and rivers.

Using a funnel, add the alcohol, witch hazel, and rosewater. Add the cap and shake again, combining all of the ingredients thoroughly.

A small glass jar is reusable, just toss it in the dishwasher when it’s empty. Forget about buying a plastic tube every time you need 3 oz. Hope, now you can make your homemade deodorant easily.

Mix jojoba oil, arrowroot powder, and baking soda. Using a double boiler or similar setup, melt Healthy the candelilla wax. Pour in the jojoba oil, arrowroot powder, and baking soda mixture.

Magnesiummakes a great all-natural deodorant just on its own. It works fast for eliminating odor and is very good for sensitive skin. Some studies show that more than 75% of people are low on magnesium.
Note that this is NOT an antiperspirant. There are two different types of coconut oil. One smells like coconut, the other does not. We have both in our house, the scentless one is for cooking, and the coconuty one is for baking because we like the coconut taste! Just not in our hamburger or fried eggs.
The crystal deodorant is also great if it works for you (I’ve heard it doesn’t work for everybody). For this recipe it really is all about personal preference and the EOs you when it comes to amounts. 10 drops is a good place to start, but I’d advise going slowly, adding a drop or two at a time, stirring, smelling, and going from there 🙂 It’s a great way to learn! Just err on the side of less… I’ve ruined things with too many EOs ’cause they smelled to strong to use. I was reading one of the reader`s comments that corn starch can facilitate yeast.

And the plastic zip bag packaging that a pound or two of shea butter, et cetera comes in IS plastic, but the plastic of several dozen deodorant containers is much, much worse. Apply a pea-sized amount under each arm. Warmth of body will make it spread easily. I have not had any trouble with it leaving oil marks on clothing, but just to be safe, let your deodorant soak in and dry before dressing.
I also made cream eyeshadow with colored clays and shea butter with a little arrowroot and white clay to play with shades. Add essential oils of choice to deodorant mixture and stir well. Bentonite clay is the detoxifying ingredient in this recipe. This homemade deodorant with bentonite clay also absorbs excess moisture and heals the skin. But we also don’t want horrible chemicals clogging up our pores and seeping into our bodies.
