How to make Natural DIY Deodorant
Making your own DIY natural deodorant is an easy and rewarding way to switch to a healthier, eco-friendly option.
Equipment
- 1 Glass Jar
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1/4 cup Arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 10-15 drops Essential Oils
Instructions
How to Make
- In a large bowl, add baking powder, arrowroot powder and oils. Mix until combined.
- Blend in the Coconut Oil until it is smooth like peanut butter
- Pour Into Containers: Transfer the mixture into a clean, reusable deodorant stick container or small jar.
- Optional: I like to create a "blotter" by adding about 1/2 cup of arrowroot powder to a single cotton sock and tying it shut. Dab it in your jar of deodorant, then blot it several times under your armpits. The powder will act like a finishing powder, locking in the deodorant and soaking up any perspiration.
How to Use
- Apply a small amount of deodorant to your underarms, using your blotter, fingers or a deodorant stick. Allow it to absorb for a few minutes before dressing to avoid residue on clothing.
