DIY Deodorant

This is my favorite homemade deodorant recipe and it’s easy to make. It works and lasts!

DIY deodorant

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
  • 4 Tablespoons cornstarch (this adds an antiperspirant effect)
  • 10 drops essential oil (try lavender, ylang ylang, frankincense, melaleuca, or whatever smell you like!)

How to make it:

*I use all organic ingredients.

  • Mix baking soda, cornstarch, and arrowroot powder in a bowl.
  • Add coconut oil and use a fork to blend with the dry ingredients.
  • Add 10 drops of essential oil (my favorites – so far – are lavender and ylang ylang)
  • Add more coconut oil or baking soda to get the right consistency.

Stir all the ingredients together and pour into a mason jar. I also pour a small amount into a travel container for future travel use.

This amount lasts me about 6 months. (My older kids use it, too!)

That’s it! All natural, healthy, and free of toxic ingredients.
