Homemade deodorant

And another product you can easily make yourself. Why stop at moisturiser, bath bombs and salves? Another one that goes on your skin every day is deodorant, may as well be in control of what goes in it. Now updated to show the ingredients and method, not sure why I didn’t include that in the first place…

  • 32g Shea Butter
  • 32g Jojoba Oil
  • 21.3g Arrowroot powder
  • 16g beeswax
  • 8g Baking Soda (bicarb)
  • 5 drops bergamot essential oil
  • 10 drops lemon essential oil
  • 5 drop of cinnamon essential oil

Combine the arrowroot, jojoba oil and bicarb in a small bowl and stir until smooth with no lumps.

Melt the wax in a double boiler, and then add in the arrowroot mix.

When all melted again, add the shea butter and stir until just melted

Take off heat and allow to cool slightly, then add the essential oils and stir well.

Let cool until thick but still pourable, pour into tubes and allow to cool completely before adding cap.

    1. Hi John, Recipe now updated to show ingredients and method as requested (I am unsure which website I pulled it from though, or would share that too), – just a side note though, I would say that the essential oil drops needs to increase, as it didn’t have much smell… 🙂
