THANK YOU.
Heroes don’t always wear capes
Thanks
Thank you 🙏🏻
You could also use shea butter in place of the coconut oil, I found that coconut oil can clog pores however shea butter absorbs into the skin and is a 0 on the comedogenic scale meaning it doesn't clog pores also it doesn't have a high protein level so it doesn't not cause nut allergies! Hope this helps for anyone who doesn't like greasy coconut oil
I've made my own deodorant with coconut oil, baking soda, and cornstarch, and it works like a charm! Cornstarch and arrowroot are similar - moisture-absorbing agents. (I actually shake some cornstarch into my socks to reduce friction from moisture and prevent blisters.) In short, cornstarch is a good swap!
I went Vegan in OCT 2013, then started eliminating chemicals from my home and personal products. Deodorant was the first thing to go and immediately after switching to an aluminum-free product, my breasts began emitting a very strong chemical smell! It lasted for about 2 weeks. I had built up 40 years of toxins, 25 of them as a smoker! I feel SO much better after quitting the cigarettes and eliminating chemicals. I think more clearly and am starting to reverse 40 years of damage.
Thanks for sharing Amanda. ( :
Amanda Keith good for you. im on the same road. its hard because you have to essentially re learn everything. lol. but its very very worth it! ❤
Amanda Keith once your clean one the inside you won't need deodorant. i guarantee it. i tested it out myself
Blackbird 188 Why a doctor?
Amanda Keith nice
I am just so grateful that I learned from sites like yours and intuition how to take back control that I felt was stolen from me by the establishment. My homemade deodorant costs less and is more effective, and it's non-toxic.
And on another note, if we really put our minds to it, we can start growing our own food again. We don't have to put up with the way they poison our food supply, etc. No matter how big Goliath is, David can win.
🙌🙌🙌
This is great information and I've been using Coconut oil and baking soda most of my life ! One should never EVER put something on your skin you cant put in your mouth !
You just use two ingredients consisting of coconut oil and baking soda? No arrow root or cornstarch?
My Daughter has stage 4 breast cancer and she is only 30. For a year now I've been using this. Love it...I will try yours..thanks
I made this and I am a convert! Thanks so much for this recipe, it works so well!
I used cornstarch (because I had it at home and was eager to try it right after watching the video) and I used a couple of drops of tea tree oil for the scent and antibacterial properties and it works amazing for both me and my husband. I am always a bit weary when it comes to deodorant because I am prone to body odour if I'm not really careful (not all deodorant brands work for me for example), but this is great! It really works!
+Anne-Catherine Mulhern
So glad to hear it! ( :
I made this and have been using it for a couple of days (including spending time out in the hot sun and SWEATING!) and it actually WORKS for me!! I used cornstarch because that's what I had at home. My roommate even smelled up close at the end of the day and said I didn't stink, so it's approved. Super easy to make, and how great would it be if I never have to buy deodorant again and can just whip it up from regular kitchen ingredients. I'm loving it
Ok folks, baking SODA does NOT contain aluminum. Some baking POWDERS do.
Thanks for the great recipe! I made the deodorant yesterday and love it! I added about 5 drops of tea tree oil and about 5 drops of lavender oil. Smells great and the tree tea oil is is a natural germ and fungus fighter.
my coconut oil is always in a liquidity form because i live in the heat🌞🌵🌴🌞🌵🌴🌞🌴🌵
( : enjoy the heat! It's starting to get cold here in the Midwest!
Recently I discovered that the Natural deodorant Crystal that I was using has Ammonium Alum in it , which is
Aluminum. Also Potassium Alum is Aluminum. I have decided to trash those & try something else. Thanks
so much for this recipe!
I've never used anti-perspirant deodorant (thanks to my mom) and I'm always on the hunt for a good, natural deodorant. I'm definitely trying this! thanks for sharing!!
I love arrowroot powder in body powders...so silky and when mixed with bentonite and herb powders it smells/feels amazing in the summer
I was going to tell you to "ditch" the Arm & Hammer, but glad to see you are now fully informed. Thanks for posting!
I have been using this deodorant for the last two months now, and I LOVE IT!
I smell, feel and even look better( my arm pits are turning lighter and softer). I however use: 2 tsp of baking soda and arrowroot powder and 3 tsp of coconut oil.
I find that this does not burn( as it would for some people), and it is made just right. I have sensitive skin and have not yet experienced any problems with this, however i used to experience problems such as itching, soreness and also spots appearing when i would use the normal deodorants.
This is the best thing i have ever tried on my body.
Good ideas Tyler, that's what my husband ended up doing with this recipe, and he keeps it in the fridge. Thanks for sharing too! Glad you like the videos as well.
I used 2 ingredients in my recipe, it really works and no allergic reaction on me. I will try your recipe too. Thanks for sharing.
been using this recipe for 2 years now. it works for me. thank you. 😊
Awesome, thanks so much for sharing! ( :
"Baking soda, i got baking soda"
+Illumination Gaming Whip it through the glass nigga! I'm savin money fast nigga!
baking soda breaks me out. I so upset. it does help with cancer etc
😅😅😅 THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING 👍👍
hitler's tittymilk add some Shea butter it won't burn
The other ppl commenting exept 1 doesn’t get the joke. Which is funny to me
Hubby and I have been using for a couple of months , loveeeeee it I use tea tree in it ,,, just made a very big batch up ,, I can honestly say it's the best deodrant we have ever used ,, thank u xx
Sharon Pritchard shepherd That's awesome! So glad to hear it. ( :
hi maam how to make coconut oil?
How long can one batch last?
Love this! I just want to say that I just made this except with shea butter and I added peppermint oil and it works GREAT!!
Yes, since filming this video, I discovered this and so now I only use Bob's Red Mill. Thanks for sharing!
So when I first made this recipe, it started out fine. No funk at all. But after awhile, my armpits dried out to the point that my skin was burning, peeling, discolored and it hurt pretty badly. So what I did was take what was left and instead of using it full strength, just took like 2 tablespoons of it as a base, then do 1/4 cup of coocnut oil, 2 tablespoons each of shea butter and cocoa butter and mixed together, adding some essential oil to it for scent. This works for me, I think the baking soda was the culprit in making my armpits hurt.
Oh no fun. Glad you were able to find a recipe that worked for you. Thank you for sharing it. ( :
Hi Ashley! I tried this recipe as a new participator of homemade and natural home products. I love this natural deodorant. Very little sweat and no order. Awesome!
Thanks for sharing this with me!
Glad you found it helpful!
My family (parents and great grands) has always used baking soda. It burned at first, but works perfectly now. The baking soda is the main ingredient that stopped the smell. Thanks for the video.
I found this video about a year ago and I've been making and using my own deodorant ever since. I've never found another deodorant that works as well as this one. Excellent video!
LadyAlyJ Thanks for the review! I am glad to hear it's been so helpful for you for so long. ( : Thanks for your kind words!
LadyAlyJ hi..did it darkened your armpit as others experienced?
I'm such a fan of this video! I just posted my review of natural deodorants. I will make my own when I have some free time away from school. You always have such great info!
This recipe is amazing! No more smell at the end of my teaching day - my husband did the sniff test is honest. He says I don't have that ripe smell from the multitude of natural deod I've tried. Thanks Ashley!
Marilyn Wellington Awesome, glad to hear it helped! I'm a teacher too. ( :
This is such a great recipe :) Aluminum is horrible and I'm happy and grateful that you uploaded this and are sharing it with others. Thanks, and Merry Christmas :)
It works!!! No other natural deodorant worked. I made a whole bunch and gave it away to all my friends and family. Thank you very much for sharing.
So glad to hear it! ( :
I finally tried this and I am not disappointed! I've been following Ashley's Green Teachings like they were from the bible, and they've really simplified my life (frugally and naturally). I love your videos and your outlooks on life, keep up the great work! :D
ilgouvye Well thank you! Appreciate your kind words. ( :
Super Awesome! Love it!
Thanks for the reassurance! I had looked this up, too, because I noticed it wasn't labeled "aluminum-free." Good to hear that you received an email from their company affirming this!
Yes, since posting this video I switched to Bob's Red Mill, thanks for sharing!
I tried different deodorants but they didn't work, until I found the natural crystal stick. But for over a year, I've been just dapping some baking soda on underarms every morning. It works GREAT. Just baking soda ONLY, and it's already amazing.
I always wanted to try the natural crystal stick. My problem is I sweat alot from hot flashes and go thru my t shirts. Hopefully it will work. I also heard taking zinc and some herbs that will help with odor
My mother is a health nut/ all natural sort of woman, and I had to deal with her buying that crystal stick WHILE I was going through puberty.
Just so you know, that crystal stick stinks. As in it doesn't do jack. As in I had to deal with a few days being teased for smelling like B.O after gym class before I just broke down and bought some deodorant with my allowance money.
thank you for sharing your video...I just started using baking soda and I was very surprised at how dry I was all day..I will definitely try this recipe since the raw baking soda is slightly irritating my armpits...thanks again!
Hope it can help you out!
Thanks Ashley. I just found your videos yesterday and my roommate and I have already done two days of oil pulling and am working my way through your videos.
I get arrowroot (sometimes called arrowroot powder, arrowroot flour) from my local health food store, like a Whole Foods or something. It's about $7 per package, but it lasts me a long time and I use it in my gluten-free cooking.
Great recipe. I usually add a pinch of tabasco sauce in which I previously dipped a copper wire. It gives you that wow sensation
+TheLMMish hahaha. you are funny. thanks for your contribution. :P
Ashely, your recipe works COMPLETELY! I mean I don't have any b.o. smell for a whole 12 to 24hrs. It's pretty amazing! I did use a bit of water in the end, but it's fine, a little crumbly, but I might use one of the oils mentioned by Tyler next time. Thanks so much for uploading this idea, I can't thank you enough actually. (I had already started using baking soda to wash the armpits, and that working was a miracle and lead me to find your video).
Excellent video! I appreciate the idea, and I can't wait to look through your other videos! Thank you.
Cool, enjoy!
I made this and it really works! Simple, natural ingredients.
This is so AMAZING! I absolutely love how there is a natural remedy for every thing! I love this idea and will be making this for myself and my family! I was using lemon juice which is also AMAZING! But I don't know what I did because my arm pits turned really dark and I got some sort of really bad rash! But thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!
Oh bummer. sorry to hear you had a reaction to it!
Sovereign Seeker n
It sounds like a reaction to the baking soda. Try less baking soda or substitute with food grade diatomaceous earth.
REPLY
This happened to me when i first switched from my regular deoderant to schmidt’s(its arrowroot powder, coconut oil, candelilla wax, shea butter, baking soda, jojoba seed oil, lavender essential oil, clary sage essential oil, and vitamin e). I developed a rash and cystic acne all over my underarms, but i switched to another natural deodorant and then back to schmidts with no reaction! I think it might be our bodies adjusting to the switch
This recipe works for me.
Thank you so much.
Glad to hear it!
I switched to this 4 months ago. The first couple of times I applied it to my underarms I had some burning discomfort, but it was minor and went away. I Love this deodorant!!! Thanks for posting the video.
+Star Bright Glad it works for you!
Love this video! I plan to make this tomorrow. I love all of the things that we can do with coconut oil!
This recipe really works!!!! I've been using it for a week now and I love it. There's no odor coming out from my armpits 😍 I'm really happy, thank you so much for sharing this amazing natural dehodorant 🌱🌼💕🖒
What I used to make it:
🌼2 spoons of cocunut oil
🌼1 spoon of baking soda
🌼2 spoons of cornstarch
(I couldn't find the arrowroot starch, so instead I used cornstarch and it worked perfectly) Please try this 😄 You won't regret it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
The baking soda was stinging my pits and I actually have burns, very minor burns but they sting and made my skin darker. I did some research and found that baking soda has PH of 8.3 which is too high for the skin so maybe if I use less baking soda it wont burn. The baking soda does work better for odor elimination than my antiperspirant. i just have to get the ratio right for my skin.
Same here except my skin looks lighter where it burned. I tried 1 teaspoon if it but it still burned me. Its the only thing that elminates odor so i dont know what to do. What are you doing about it?
At the moment I have gone back to antiperspirant but I have found one with less than 18% aluminum which is dove men line. It has 15% aluminum. I'm thinking about using less baking soda and adding tea tree oil water and coconut oil. Baking soda is only needed in small amount. In 100 ounces of diy deoderant only 1-4 ounces should be baking soda so keep the percentage of baking soda under 4% in your formula if you're sensitive and see how your skin reacts and if it helps with odor.
Don Black I really don't know how to measure the 4%. It's confusing. Anyway they say if you detox your armpits with bentonite clay then you can use natural deodorant without any baking soda because you wont need it. Thats what im gonna do. For now im not putting anything on my pits till they heal. This morning they were cracking and peeling slightly but it only hurt when i lifted my arms. I'm currently at school during breakfast and i havent sweated since i got up which is super odd. I wonder if ill ever sweat again or if i really danaged myself. I'm gonna buy some bentonite clay when i save up money soon.
It's temporary. You'll sweat again lol. Let me know if the clay works because that may definitely be a game changer.
Don Black I will definitely let you know. Also school is over and i still havent sweated and feel no pain. When i get home im gonna recheck the area. I kind of want to put shea butter on it to heal but i dont want to disturb the area.
Thank you so much for making this video! I was getting bad allergies on my underarm area from wearing deodorant. Cant wait to try this!
Rossa Severinus Hope you like it! ( :
ThanQ Miss Ashley for responding back ;-) I tried my first batch of homemade deodorant on 03/25/2105 and it WORKT GREAT!!! Like seriously, NOOOO order WHAT-SO-EVER!!! Made one for wach of my coworkers and they love them as well! Be blessed ;-)
RoRoclark You're welcome! Glad you liked it. ( :
I'm definitely gonna start doing this. When you mentioned aluminum blockage and it being so close to the breast I immediately thought using store bought deodorant is probably why I've been having problems for YEARS with my lymph nodes swelling in my armpit. Can't wait to make jars of this (I have the same jar as yours) and make lemon and orange scented deodorant! Thank you. Subscribed!!
Awesome! ( :
I just want to add for those making homemade deodorant for the first time, you should totally use this! I found one of the most convenient benefits from natural deodorant (I used pure coconut oil, pure beeswax, 100% cornstarch, baking soda, pure Vitamin E oil, and Shea butter) is that you can just wipe or rub any excess into your skin and not have to worry about a mess. :) It's all natural, anyway!
So I made my own batch and I used the baking soda, cornstarch, coconut oil, about 5 drops of each tea tree oil and lavender oil. So far I've only had one bad experience with some severe armpit pain, (didn't wash the deodorant off b4 bed) but this stuff works better at smell reduction than anything else I've ever tried. And wetness, well I still have some sweat but nothing like going without deodorant. I work in a pizza shop so its gets really hot and sweaty. Love this stuff! ThanksAgain4Sharing!
Glad you like the recipe! The song is called, "Happiness" by Pink Zebra I got it off Audio Jungle, but I'm not sure if it is still there.
Thank you for sharing your video...it has helped me tremendously..in the beginning it did irritate my armpits and darken it...but the results were remarkable...I would buy expensive store bought deodorant and I would still have problems. But,not anymore, I'm am fresh throughout the day no matter how humid or hot it is. My armpits have since lightened up over the course of time and I will be making more for my family!
Glad to hear you've had such great results with it!
Baking soda irritates my skin. I use food grade diatomaceous earth in DIY recipes that call for baking soda.
I use DE as well it works ok for me.
I have been using this diy deodorant for while now and it works
However 100%cotton clothes make your arms breathe
But polyester and spandex makes your arms sweaty
Go for it you guys and gals👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Love love love your videos !! Thank you for all the great info !! :)
Thank you so much for this video and showing us how to make it ❤ I know I can trust you you have no negative reviews and so your one of the few youtubers I subscribed to keep up the amazing work ❤
THanks!
Great video! This past weekend I made my very first batch of homemade deodorant (very similar to yours, with the addition of shea butter, and I left out the Arrowroot since I didn't have any). Glad to see that you can just apply it by hand. I ended up scooping mine into a cleaned out deodorant container (got messy, but after setting up further overnight it works well). New subscriber here :)
Cool! Thanks for subscribing! My husband keeps his in a deodorant container too in the fridge and he likes it better that way. ( :
LaurelsCurls... So do u use it till now??
What's your recipe?
Thanks for sharing. I have been using coconut oil only and it also works for me
I'm addicted to your channel! Thank you so much for all you do!
Thanks for the love! Makes me want to do another video right now! ( :
made this recipe, thank you for sharing it!!! love it!!!
Yeah! Glad to hear it!
could buy popsicle makers and pack them and put them in the freezer...you can tell...I LIVE IN THE HOT HOT SOUTH...LMAO!!!
After doing some research I found out there are very few baking sodas that have aluminum in them now. Arm and hammer doesn't have any.
I use this and it works, I added Bentonite powder Sandalwood essential oil as well. The bentonite helps pull metals out.
Just made my very first small batch of natural deoderant...baking soda..corn starch ..coconut oil and about 20 drops of lavender essential oil..I tried it...smells great!!! And it does the exact same thing a commercial store bought deoderant does just no added chemicals..
"just keep stirring"-Dory lol
LOL yes!
I just use coconut oil it works great
Awesome! Even easier to make and use I bet!
These are the first three ingredients in my Schmidt’s deodorant that I love, so I’ll definitely try this out! :)
Thank you for this info Ashlie! You are awesone!
+Evelyn Paredes You're welcome! thank you ( :
THIS SHIT WORKS!!!
+Aris Taylor ( ;
Do you keep it refrigerated?
For anyone that's not able to do this particular recipe, you may wanna watch Nandis channel on her baking soda free deodorant video, where she also talks about making baking soda deodorant but uses much less baking soda, Nandis is another good channel to watch
Wow! This is awesome! Excited! Thanks for sharing! :)
You're welcome!
haha i wish i had seen your video ages ago, i've been using this recipe of deodorant for almost 5 months now based on a small recipe from a small blog, but i hadn't done any research. turns out more people know about this than i thought! (which is wonderful!)
folks this shit is awesome, try it, it's not like you're losing anything, it's so cheap to try it out!
+Apples-for-Life is it really effective?
yes very effective! i've been using this recipe everyday for a year and i always stay 100% dry in the pit area! and no odor! but, staying clean from the inside (eating a whole foods plant based diet and drinking lots of water, no drugs/alcohol) is also key to having good body odor! :)
+Apples-for-Life Does it stain your clothing? I like the "invisible" commercial brands
hi! it stains your clothes with those white deodorant stains if you don't let it soak in and get dry on your skin before putting a shirt on. but it easily washes out of the clothes with just water, so even if you stain it, it is not permanent! :)
Do you have to keep applying it. How long does it last? Great video by the way
+caleb bird Seems to last several hours, depending upon how much you sweat. I didn't feel like I needed to reapply it just to get from morning to night. Anyone have any amount of time you think it lasts?
I made some of this stuff except the recipe I used had cornstarch as well as arrow root powder (although it's probably unnecessary) and the stuff really works!! I haven't been able to get a smell of BO yet. Even if I lather loads of the stuff liberally on to my arm pits after a few hours there is no greasy trace left and no white marks. This stuff is awesome and I really have no idea why it isn't more popular.
sara i substituted corn starch for the arrow root powder and it worked great!!!
its a great way to keep all those toxins at bay.. i have one question...since it contains coconut oil,does it leave stains on clothes?
sukham kaur no
Nice recipe Ashley but why not form the mixture into a block, throw in the refrigerator wrapped in waxed paper and just run the block over your underarm when you want it ... put back in the refrigerator to stay solid ... will that work
Dorothy Atchison You can definitely do this! My husband uses the same recipe and he took an old deodorant bottle, emptied it, filled it up with the mixture (while soft/liquidy) and then keeps it in the fridge so it always stays solid and he can use it just like regular deodorant. ( :
Great recipe!! I just did It and It really works!! Thanks
This is the right video for anybody who desires to find out about this topic. You notice a lot its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I actually would wantHaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!
Thanks!
Replace baking soda with food grade diatomaceous earth if baking soda irritates your skin.
I have that thanks ! :)
awesome advice the DE actually works.
None of Business hi..will it help in armpit lightening ?
OOOh really? I can't use baking soda in homemade deodorant, after a few days my pits are red raw...I will definitely try this, thank you!
None of Business I don't understand how diatomaceous earth is ever "food grade". Like "food grade" mineral oil. They tell you its eatable but you should avoid it. What I know of it YOU SHOULD NOT EAT IT! Let alone put it on your body. It will cause horrible irritation. This isn't like using cornstarch
Underarm pores are not the only pores we have, so?
Great! Thank you for posting!
I just followed your recipe and made it successfully. I added lemongrass oil for fragrance. thank you so much
So glad it worked out well for you, thanks for sharing your additions. ( :
Yes the baking soda was a bit too abrasive for my armpits
I neEd to make this.
Hope it works out for you!
Can't wait to try this. Ty . Ashley
Dawny Carrasco Good luck! ( :
Awesome! Thanks for sharing how it works for you. ( :
I hate cooking much less mixing up deodorant. I found a new alternative. Lume deodorant. all natural, no aluminum and no baking soda. they list their ingredients and it was developed by a doctor, not a big company. less messy to order online too. it lasts two days for me and i am a stinky guy living in Texas
I enjoyed the video but the little musical jingle towards the end is quite annoying. That is so common and I just don’t get it. Oh well
If you desire you can add tee tree oil or lavender oil or any other essential oil you can use a spatula and put it in a empty deodrant container and use it like regular deodorant just a hint a little less messy to apply thanks for your vids you rock!
i tried it tonight with cornstarch (as i had that handy) and added some lemongrass and it came out great. I have been making my own deodorant for 2 years now and this was great, thanks.
Wonderful!
You could try lemon juice to naturally highlight your hair instead of bleach.
aredheaded vegan I tried that a few years ago without much success...did it work for you?
No never tried ... I have natural red hair no blonde for me. Lol
LOL, that's cool you love your natural color...I try to embrace my brown, but I still love a little blonde in the mix. ( :
There was a time I didn't but self love and accepting who we are and what we already have is so beautiful.. I love my ginger locks now. :)
aredheaded vegan That's me with curly hair. I used to straighten it for years and stress if it got messed up. Then I realized I was spending so much time straightening it that I finally just embraced the "curl" and never looked back. ( :
Great recipe.........use a glass bowl instead to mix ingredients.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I'll have to try this :)
You're welcome.
New subscriber, thank you. I will certainly be checking out most of your videos.
Glad to have you, enjoy
