Well, I'm nearly out of the commercial deodorant I've been using. That means I have several containers to fill up with some #DIYDeodorant! YES! (And I won't be using Tea Tree oil, but Sandalwood instead.)
DIY Natural Deodorant…That Actually Works!

"Ingredients in Homemade Deodorant:
- Unrefined coconut oil – Coconut oil contains fatty acids, like lauric acid, which are known for their antibacterial benefits. It can help reduce the odor-causing bacteria in your arm pits, leaving you refreshed and smelling clean.
- Unrefined shea butter – Also super antibacterial and non-comedogenic so it won’t clog your pores. It also adds moisture to the formula.
- Arrowroot powder/flour – A highly absorbent powder to help wick up extra sweat. Effectively acts as an antiperspirant. You can replace with tapioca starch if that’s all you can find.
- Baking soda -super effective at fighting body odor and also soaks up sweat. Note: baking soda can be a potential skin irritant so feel free to add less to the formula and work your way up.
- Lavender essential oil – this is primarily for scent so you can replace with a different essential oil if you prefer or omit for unscented.
- Grapefruit essential oil – same as lavender in that you can replace with a different essential oil if you prefer a different scent or omit for fragrance free.
- Tea tree essential oil (optional)* – tea tree is antibacterial and a super effective odor-buster."
