The idea of the stick of glue as a container for your deodorant is genious ! It's so simple and money-saving, thank you for the tip :)
Lyzi Ly I've saved my old deodorant containers and cleaned them out and use those! They work great!
Lyzi Ly ssssss
A 2.5 oz of Arm & Hammer Natural Deodorant cost $1.88...
you don't need container ;) look at this recipe ruclips.net/video/-IlQvk1WH9c/видео.html
I used a super glue container, I cannot remove the stick from my armit ://
It doesn't matter what DIY cosmetic/hygienic thing I search, I always find Ela. Not complaining, it's just awesome!!!

I also make a baking soda/coconut oil mix. I pour mine into these little plastic containers with lids and we apply with our fingers. My husband likes it too and says it really works effectively... And he works outside all day and does get sweaty! A really nice and fresh scent is lemongrass. We both like how it smells.
Lisa N I do that
What the recipe you use ?
What am I doing wrong? Not only do I still sweat... I end up smelling..
How much did you put on yourselves?
@@LadySeraphineCC This doesn't prevent you from sweating. It actually allows your skin to sweat and breathe, which is healthier. As for the smell, try adding more baking soda into your mix because baking soda is anti bacterial.
bentonite clay should be stirred with a wooden or ceramic spoon. it will weaken its effectiveness when stirred with aluminum because what it does is extracts heavy metals from the body. I love your recipe, it looks great I'm looking forward to experimenting with it! Thank you for everything
Is a plastic spoon okay?
Yes it 👍
Thats only when its mixed with an acidic base like the Apple cider vinegar
Natosha Ash your wrong. The commenter is correct
STAY STRONG thank you for the comment! 😀
This stuff works great! I've been using this for a long time now, (found a similar recipe online a while ago) and I do have to say that 1) I don't ever smell, even if I forget to put it on or do an intense workout and 2) normal deodorants made me sweat more but ever since I started using this I've stopped. Best part is...it's so easy and affordable to make!
this woman is gonna dye when shes 200 her health is so good holy shit

+Aria Panayiotou what's she going to dye? her hair?
+meowcanon but ya wanna know what i watched this video at like 4 am so oops
+Aria Panayiotou HAHAHA this comment :D Love it! X
+Aria Panayiotou ha ha... agree...
I'm a little late to this party but it came up in my feed today (2019) and I did appreciate your recipe. A word about baking soda is that while natural and usually safe (esp compared to other deodorizing ingredients) it is still a reactive chemical and a base (opposite of acid) and can in fact burn you just the way an acid can. The concern is not in using it but leaving it there on the skin. It may be more suitable in a soap recipe where it is rinsed off. So just to summarize in itself the baking soda can irritate chemically (base burn) or mechanically (from the gritty texture rubbing against sensitive armpits) but the potential for chemically reacting to sweat is pretty real too. I'm not saying to stop if this is working well for you just a bit of info. If you have sensitive skin or if you are having trouble these are some likely explanations.
I wonder if you can speak if charcoal would be an appropriate ingredient in a homemade deodorant?
Thanks for your video.
I made this and I love it, no more stinky armpits! Thanks for sharing, I used lemongrass essential oil.
FYI when using bentonite clay never use a metal utensil to mix.
The only recipe so far in over 8 months that didn't cause a reaction and keeps me odour free in 95°F weather. I did use just bentonite clay though and no wax pellets. Thank you so much.
if using arrow root, no need for baking soda which can be very harsh on the skin, especially after shaving...and never use metal utensils when working with clay...glad you shared
I used Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary
Maki Honda just FYI, lavender and rosemary are excellent for encouraging hair growth. Keep in mind in case there’s an area you don’t want hair to grow lol
@@kianam1145 oof lol
I made this recipe last week and just a warning to be super fast when you take it off the heat as it sets crazy fast. I had to reheat mine to get it into the container and created quite a mess. Not sure if it’s only me but mine wasn't setting, I even left it in the fridge and after a hour or so it set completely. After applying though it makes brown under my arms.. not sure if I’m doing something wrong (all tips welcome) but otherwise after using it for a week I am very happy. Thank you for your videos and will definitely be trying your hair care, make-up and perfume next!
i made a similar stick and used lavender and mint essential oils - very nice, especially since mint has a cooling effect. cinnamon is very strong and hot and it might cause rashes for some people. it makes my skin get red spots
Love the glue stick idea! I use tea tree oil for my deodorant and it works great. Just make sure not to use too much if you have sensitive skin. I alternate with an unscented version and only use the tea tree every other day 😊
but how do you use it? you just rub it on your armpits?
it's interesting for me, I have only tried tee tree oil for curing acne :)
+timid elle yes, just use it like a stick-deodorant. First time I tried it I made sure it was during the weekend so that in case it didn't work well enough that I wouldn't be stuck at work and being really smelly. But it worked great and I've never bought any deodorant since 😊
do u use the same recipe and the same measurements as ela?
No, the recipe I use is more simple (although I really want to try Ela's recipe too). My recipe is equal parts coconut oil, baking soda and arrowroot powder. I use 1 tablespoon of each and 3 drops of tea tree oil. 😊
+Anne-Catherine Mulhern thank you, I will definetly give your recipe a try😊
I like to use lavender, lemon and ylang/ylang. It is a fresh springtime scent.
i came up with this recipe a while ago. been using it for about 9 or so months now. i sweat A LOT esp for a girl and it works great for me. lasts all day and seems to be an antipersperient as well as deodorant. works better than any conventional one which is why i made the switch! highly recommend!
Tried out your recipe and I really love it. I used tea tree, sweet orange, and clove bud essential oils- they are antiseptic. Despite the long hike I went on this morning, I don't smell! The only adjustment I might make is 4 tsp. of wax because it melts on the stick the moment it's applied to skin. Has anyone else tried this recipe been happy with the results? Any adjustments? Thank you for the DIY Ela. From USA
Cool!
Yup, I just made it, it’s fully cooled, it’s too soft. Will add a tablespoon of wax next time instead of a teaspoon perhaps. Thx for posting, thought I’d done something wrong.
I made it with a tablespoon of soy wax, it is too soft and to oily for me. Peppermint oil cools armpits🤪
I love that you have brought this great recipe to the world. We have been making a similar recipe for YEARS and it really does work. Just a fyi for those looking to try: there can be a detox period during which you might be more stinky, lasting from 1-2 weeks. Please don't let this deter you, though. It is easily remedied by reapplication. After that it is smoooth sailing. I am and have always been a heavy sweater and this works great. Even better, IMHO, than traditional deos/antiperspirants which always left me smelling revolting by the end of the day.. HIH
Would you mind sharing your own recipe? I'm trying to compare different recipes and find what will work best for me.
@@repeatthesoundingjoy328 we just use beeswax, arrowrrot powder, baking soda, whatever oils/ butters I have on hand, and essential oils ( a mix that varies, but I always include patchouli because it lasts and tee tree because it is anti-microbial and usually lavender). Sorry, I don't have measurements, as I eyeball it. If I write it down next time, I will edit my comment. You caould look up a recipe that is similar online, though and tweak it.
Thank you, Clare!🙂
I've been using this deodorant for a month now, and I love it!
Bragg's Apple cider vinegar with the Mother is an awesome alternative for deoterant. once it dries there is no smell from the Apple cider vinegar and there is absolutely no body odor during the day. I don't know how it works with people who sweat alot but even with some sweating there is no odor. it's worth a shot
You should do a natural colored hair dye
yeah ^
If you want a vegan hair dye you can use arctic fox or manic panic :) Not sure about a natural one though

+Ugly Jerk ok thanks I've heard of manic panic before. I'll be sure to check it out next time I dye my hair. thanks

This is the best recipe I’ve tried. Took longer than 10mins to set but we had a warm summer. I used eucalyptus and aniseed essential oils. Soooo nice and yes, it lasts well, you smell it throughout the day👍🏻 Thx!!
I used orange, lemongrass, and labeled essential oil for this (it sounds like a weird combination but it actually smells good)
Lavender*
Many thanks Ella
I used 12 drops grapefruit oil and 3 drops clove oil and I’m Lovin it.
Use a plastic or non metal spoon when handling bentonite clay, metal deactivates it taking away all the properties you want from it.
So Cool, thank you for this. My grandma use to always complain about the cost of deodorant, especially when all you needed was a dab of baking soda under the pits. I gave up commercial deodorant years ago, but paid more for the natural version. Thanks again, just discovered your videos a few days ago... love them! :)
How should we go about making it in an Asian country. humid and hot. Coconut oil here is in liquid form and temperature usually is 30degrees on an average which goes up to 35
Can you please answer Ela.. I would like to know too
You use more wax! and since coconut oil is liquid at room temperature, don't use it, just use the wax and the butter! So, Ella's recipe would be something like this:
2 tbsp of wax
3 tbsp of butter (cocoa butther is best for warmer climates)
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp arrowroot powder / bentonite
15 drops essential oil - I used cinnamon & tangerine
Keep it ut of the sun and heat (refrigerator is a good option!) and you're good to go!
Just remember, even if you don't put it in the fridge it will be a harder deodorant, not so smooth! But I used it anyway through the summer - we had temperatures around 40ºC, in the shade!! Worked well also! ;)
Pranita Patil i just used coconut oil, baking soda & corn starch. stays in shape (i keep mine in my closet) and i live in south east asia :)
@cassandrasscream what type of wax is meant here ? and how is it used bkuz wax gets back to being hardened real quickly
Pranita Patil do u know of Fitkari, Phitkari ?? We just use it after shower.... no smell the whole day what soever...it's called alum in English.. just buy a handy sized stone and rub it when wet.
Shaving regularly, wearing breathable fabric and using this natural deodorant have all worked together like magic for me!
You will want to start with 1/8th tsp of baking soda and gradually increase. Putting too much at a time can cause lits of irritation for individuals with sensitive underarms.
I have been using this for some time. I have to thank you because I have understood that what I buy from the store isn't always the best for me. I sweat alot and live in southern California so I use 2 tablespoons of wax. I also have high BO yet this stands the test and I love that your know how and my effort allows me a better product. I use lime oil and peppermint oil or sometimes lemon oil instead of lime. I love this!
Hey folks! I tried this recipe but changed some and since I live in a country that is hot can reach up to 35 Celsius/95 Fahrenheit, (I DID NOT USE BAKING SODA)
Ingredients :
2 table spoon Coconut oil
2 table spoon shea butter
1 and 1/2 table spoon arrow root
1 and 1/2 table spoon bentonite clay
1 and 1/2 table spoon beeswax pallets
15 drops essential oils ( I used tea tree only)
you can do 1/2 table spoon arrow root and 1/2 table spoon bentonite as well.
before using this please detox your armpits with bentonite clay and ACV :) 1:1 ratio
I put an acv/aztec bentonite clay mask on my armpits, after that my left armpit has grown a lump. And my armpit smells worse also. Is it normal after a detox?
@@paralinkincubusninja5100 that means its working, like its opening up your lymphatic system. I saw someone else say that too on another video
@@jhaydajohnson8935 I just read an article about armpit detox and the lump was just a part of an adjustment phase coz I've been using rexona deo for many years.
@@paralinkincubusninja5100 Yup big adjustment, I unfortunately stopped because it was like overwhelming but I'm going to try again after the summer
what about white vinegar?
You made a big difference in my life, (and a few other you tubers). I wanted to take the time out to thank you. Wearing natural deodorant was a domino effect on my journey of an eco friendly life. You really made a big difference.. not just for me.
Or JUST slice lime up.
Wipe UNDER arm's and put into bottle for spray with rosemary essential oil.
And you have a natural deodorant.
Kateri Tekawidthá try that after shaving lol 😂 it burns like hell
@@amber_Forever16 yes, sounds too acidic
AlexandriaTheGoddess McEachern yep it would dry your skin out, bleach it and it will burn...
I cant thank you enough for changing my life. I live each day using all your recipes. For this, i use organic tea tree oil.
great video! future reference keep metal away from bentonite clay. it'll react negatively. 😊
It's actually because it becomes less effective.
it'll make it become less effective
I just made this.. I used 5 drops each of Lavender, Sweet Orange & Tea Tree oils. Smells great!
I also make my own deodorant! Very similar recipe too. I like using neroli and ylang ylang essential oils. In combination with the coconut oil it smells like an exotic dessert!
I followed your instructions and the deodorant came up fantastic. It works better for me than the commercial ones! Since I live in Florida I used four teaspoons of wax and as arrowroot I used tapioca. Great deodorant thank you!
Your voice is so soothing !
thank u for this nice video..i recommend adding few drops of tea tree oil and i advice u to wait until the oils cools down before being hard and then add the baking soda.. so it will be more effective and last longer without a bad smell..thanks again
Hi Ela, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if not - apologies! I've made the deodorant stick and loved it!…until about a week later I developed eczema under one arm. I thought it might be that I had also changed my soap in the shower. So I went back to my usual soap, didn't use any deodorant (gulp!) and waited for the eczema to clear - which it did, about 5 days later. Then I tried the deodorant again. Straight away I got the rash back. Have you had anyone else mention this? If so, how did they adjust your recipe? Thoughts? Many thanks, Dee.
Sounds like a reaction to an ingredient used. If it was truly eczema, it wouldn't have disappeared when you stopped using it. Eczema is diet related. Try using fresh lemon or lime. It works great. I've used it prior to a 90 minute workout and it prevented sticky odors. It doesn't prevent sweating, but sweating is good to allow since it's 1 method to help the body detox.
Dee Hyde that's the baking soda. I've had the same reaction to natural deodorant. it messes with the pH balance in your skin which causes the rash. Some people recommend a dab of apple cider vinegar before applying the natural deodorant to neutralize the soda. Also you could try just making it without the soda.
Leave out the baking soda! Or just use a very little. I made a diy deodorant that called for hella baking soda so I applied that everyday right and one day my armpit started feeling raw & peeling 😰 lesson learned 😅
I second these comments it’s the baking soda. I cannot find a natural that works for me that’s baking soda free they’re just not as effective :-(
I’m trying to find a diy that doesn’t turn my armpits dark! Like you all said, the baking soda is not liked by my armpits! 😡😡
So now I’m trying to find another diy to stop my underarm odor. 😩😩😩
I use 8 drops lavender, 12 drops Egyptian geranium and 5 drops tea tree. Not only does it smell lovely, it fights odour and is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-septic! I also put in some Vit E and probiotics. Thanks for your video!
I love this method because most deodorants have chemicals that's not good for your underarms
Hello
I love your DIYs, and I wanna make a suggestion. If you could take in consideration the PH for the skin! The skin has a protective film that is mildly acidic and it hosts the bacteria that makes our skin function properly, somewhere between 4.5 and 5.5. Any thing alkaline (like baking soda) dries the skin and speeds up the aging. Keeping the PH of the skin mildly acidic is key, research was lead for 8 years on women who use alkaline products on their skin, and they aged 50% more then the acidic group.
Exact opposite for the mouth! No lemon or apple cider vinegar.
What do you mean by "exact opposite for the mouth" - does it mean baking soda is good for your mouth and lemon is not?
so we are suppose to avoid baking soda. I'm sorry are we suppose to avoid lemon and apple cider as well? please clarify.
Baking soda is amazing for the mouth. It helps reclassifying the teeth. Lemon and apple cider vinegar on the other hand make teeth sensitive and they cause erosion of the teeth. These two are acidic, and baking soda is alkaline.
On the other hand, the skin of our body needs to be mildly acidic, so lemon and apple cider vinegar are amazing for the skin, and baking soda or anything alkaline dries the skin and make it age faster.
Hi Sabrine, Would love to learn more about the research & 8 year study you are referring to. Can u so kindly direct me to it. I'm always in search of education when it comes to natural health. Thank U😃
I recommend you doing asmr video's because your voice is nice and soothing. I know this is a random comment but i feel like you would a wonderful job at it :)
+Rosalie Posaliee i think the same thing everytime i watch her videos.
+VisualJunkieOfficial same!
Noticed the same thing!
ye
I feel like she would be a great singer. I still don't understand ASMR lol
I used this deodorant for about a year and then eventually developed a fungal infection on my armpit. My dermatologist said that it was due to the coconut oil and shea butter because they adhere to the armpit and trap moisture, which is conducive to candida growth. I don’t know if this is the case for everyone but just an FYI
Is essential oil necessary? Also i really really wish my sister did not throw out her jumbo glue stick, now i have to use the regular small ones darn it.
I don't think so, coconut oil and baking soda are great for fighting odors. the essential oils are for added scent and benefits :)
Cookie Cat hey thanks for taking the time to reply! Love it when people do that and make me feel important for a couple minutes 😂
Selena Lamothe i want to help... your important! : )
also tea tree helps fight bacteria which is the reason we have odor. So if we can control the bacteria we can control the odor. Be careful with orange tho it can stain white shirts. Peace & love !
ForgiveAndLove09 Thanks for the tip! Well I'm sorry to say i have given up on trying to makw my own deodorant after burning my armpits with baking soda. (Not one tutorial told me it was acidic.) this was after using it every day for a couple weeks. It started burning me out of nowhere. Anyway my mom bought me Tom's Natural Deodorant and it works crazy good.
Selena Lamothe glad Toms is working for you. You can use just straight coconut oil to soothe the irritation from the baking soda. Actually some people just use coconut oil for deodorant. I'm trying that now. So far so good. I might add some tea tree.
Awesome deodorant. Thank you! I make exactly the same deodorant (thanks to you ) but I also add a pinch of zinc oxide and it really works. This is the first natural deodorant that actually works for me and it is probably because of the clay. My armpits are always dry and fill clean trough the whole day. so happy, thanks again :)
Possibly a vegan Chapstick?
soy wax or beeswax
Coconut or olive oil
Essential oil
Not sure the measurements though sorry :(
YES
Pretty much any oil melted w wax and then cooled can be made into a lip balm/ Chapstick :))
i think u mean natural
+Nia LaLa V your approach is even worse at the point of kindness. these people's aim were only to help. when ppl try to help to each other they dont have to know everyyyyyttthhinng on this earth. averagely acceptable approach is fine. if your weird approach should be accepted noone could help other one cause everyone must be hesitating when they wanna share any information!
HI, our videos are really great! I love your recipes. I have been making my own products for about a year and for the most part I have been happy with the results ( I am having a very difficult time with the diy homemade toothpaste though , YUKK ! But I want to try one more recipe before I give up) but I feel like they are a little boring. Your recipes have that little extra something that makes them a better product and a little more special. My fave is the mascara so far.
Oh and I wanted to tell you .... You should never use any kind of metal with Bentonite clay. It will have a nasty reaction .. I was using a metal spoon to scoop out mine from the container and by the time I got to the the bottom it was really nasty.
Thanks for the awesome videos !!!
Two things, though I’m new to this:
1) It appears to me that you’re not making a deodorant (kills bacteria) but an antiperspirant. Bentonite clay isn’t antimicrobial but a pore sealer. This is genius, if you are into antiperspirants.
2) If you are trying to avoid aluminum compounds, why use bentonite clay? It’s an aluminum compound.
Whoa betonite Clay is metal?
Lester Lester it has aluminum in it! Google “is bentonite really good for you” or “dangers of bentonite clay”
@@amber_Forever16 I will thanks
1) Bentonite clay isn’t metallic or elemental aluminum. It’s a compound with aluminum atoms in it. It’s like graphite (elemental carbon) vs. carbon dioxide (carbon containing compound).
2) There’s no actual evidence that aluminum compounds on your skin are bad for you. The studies they used were misreported. Old Spice in a petri dish seem to damage DNA, and breast cancer tends to start near the armpit. However there are no known aluminum compounds that leach through the skin or evidence that women who use antiperspirant are more likely to get breast cancer.
I used 50/50 coconut oil and shea butter as well as 50/50 arrowroot powder and bentonite clay, as suggested. I'm very sensitive to most fragrances, including natural ones, but I can handle tea tree, eucalyptus, and peppermint, so I used 9 drops of tea tree oil. All three of these are supposedly antimicrobial so maybe they will help kill off bacteria that contribute to body odor? The overall smell was very earthy...it pretty much smelled like dirt with a very faint herbal sent. I personally prefer this natural scent though, and am very happy with it.
One complaint I have is that the deodorant is not as solid as I thought it would be. It came out a bit creamy. I used the same amount of wax as was used in the video, since I am living somewhere with a similar climate. Maybe my wax pellets were larger, so a teaspoon of mine had a greater mass than the ones in the video? I think I read somewhere that unrefined shea butter has a lower melting point than refined shea butter- and I used unrefined. I'm not sure if this is what made the difference, since it still isn't anywhere near the temperature necessary to melt unrefined shea butter.
Despite being a little too melty for me, I loved this simple recipe and would absolutely make it again with slight adjustments!
Ati Zoe You didn’t use the baking soda?? If not that’s why it didn’t set properly
does the wax help to keep it solid? because i only use coconut oil and put it in a little container it still gets thick (not runny) but not as solid as yours. or maybe i should keep it in the fridge all the time? what would you suggest?
thanks
the wax help to keep it solid. :)
thanks :)
I have made this several times and it works amazing. I have passed it onto others aswell. I can smell it all day. I work in the emergency services so need a good deo. This one is fab. Will never buy store bought again.
What a good idea. I might have to give it a try.

Just made this. AMAZING, but I didn´t add the baking soda as it made the deodorant rough, and now I can use it as chapstick, handcream, deodorant, and face cream, THANK YOU!!!
we're do you buy your essential oils at? I make chapstick and the smells and tastes won't mix in with the coconut oil bc it's water based and water and oil don't mix.... +Ela gale
iHerb
+Roimata Hooper thanks!
I think brambleberry has some :)
+Kayla Liss I recommend doTerra oils. I use them, and they're so pure that you can take many of them internally (unlike those that claim hat they're 100% pure)!
+Behice K You should never take essential oils internally, it can be dangerous. :(
I have used simply baking soda and coconut oil for years, I love it. I will add essential oils occasionally.
But I can't imagine using cinnamon, it would be way too hot. Great idea of the empty glue stick.
Your channel is like heaven
Finally someone used the jumbo chapstick size for deodorant! I emailed Tom's and suggested it on FB over a year ago but never got a response! I will try this out though! 👍
MUST try
The glue stick idea is utter brilliance. I just found your channel and binge watched nearly every video tonight. Amazing!!!!
you got new subscriber 👏👸🤗LOVE YOUR CHANNEL💖
I'm so glad you're doing things naturally! I plan to make some myself!
I need the antiperspirant part of it though :(
+Plum Guntrip sweating is detoxing, healthy
Not when it's excessive
Then that means there's an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with. But applying antiperspirant is horrible for your body.
+h jan got any sources on that claim
use alum powder it's great
I just bought my ingredients & can't wait to make mine tonight!!! Thanks sista!
Does it stain or leave marks on your clothes?
Alidia Ilton the wax prob will. If you wanted to try crystal deoderant. Its amazing. One ingredient and doesnt stain. One tube last over a year
I used eucalyptus oil, doubled the wax, and added some premium grade vitamin E oil. Smells real nice. I live in the desert and it is summer, so the limits of this formula will be tested to their potential. Here's hoping for the best! 🙌
many people commented that baking soda burn their skin. I want to try this but I am kind of afraid too.
You can skip the baking soda, if you have rashes that would not be for you :)
You can leave out the baking soda and add another tablespoon of power (arrowroot or clay).
***** For a lot of people it is irritating. Baking soda is the wrong pH and can disrupt the pH of your skin. It depends the person but in general its recommended not to use baking soda for your skin because of the pH difference.
Spray some diluted apple cider vinegar before applying the baking soda deodorant
I make homemade deodorant and everyone that has used it has had no complaints. Every video that i have watched has used too much baking soda. It only take a small amount. Remember, the minty essential oil (peppermint, spearmint etc,.) mixed with the BK may cause your underarm to burn. In this case, start using a very small amount of each.
I sweat so heavily and I've tried numerous different natural deodorants so hopefully this recipe works, thanks!
Love your videos Ela!
great recipe, i would suggest adding extra 4 Tbls of arrowroot powder/corn flour and an extra 3 Tbls of Baking soda if you are a teenager/workout a lot/just a sweatier person 🤗
you are so pretty and your videos are so matural
+AwesomeAngela25 **natural**
+AwesomeAngela25 she's gorge :)
Wow, this looks great!! I know some people just use baking soda and it's very powerful, but this looks like a wonderful combination.
can you do a cideo about nailcare ?
I tried this recipe last night....and ladies...it's a perfect recipe.Thank you Ela
Can you do a Halloween Costume tutorial :)
my sister and I have a recipe almost JUST like this and it works SO well!!!
Ela, this looks amazing and I'm looking forward to picking up some of the ingredients you mentioned... I was sorry to see that the Black Label Whisky wasn't included, but maybe I'll add a small teaspoonful into the mix and see how it comes out... Thanks again.
I'm going to try this.. this looks like one of the best DIY Deodorant I've seen so far.. (crossing fingers) Hope it works.. If anyone else has tried it.. let me know
This deodorant works, i used it for a year know and love it, also make it for friends and they love it, thanks Ella.💜
Perfect recipe! I've been dying for a coconut oil recipe that's solid at room temp. Thank you!
Thanks for your recipe. I like using Tea Tree and grapefruit as this is good for lymph nodes. I want to point out though that if we are going through all the effort to make natural deodorant, we should also make sure the essential oils used are 100% pure and of the highest quality. So, i use doTerra oils which are tested and you can retrieve batch test reports of each bottle of oil. They are also dietary grade.
perfect perfect perfect... right on time... I use lemons sometimes, but not very convenient ... thank you
Amazing! I love this! thanks Ela, you're helping me so much with this natural homemade recipes since I want to stay away from toxic chemicals as much as I can
I have been using apple cider vinegar and it works for me for a full day. I reapply it at night.
Wonderful recipe! I am just not sure about baking soda. This is actually a chemical. Is that needed in the recipe? Is there any study on this ingredient and effect on skin and body? Thanks great videos!!
I know this is an older video but I like to make my own deodorant with a similar recipe. My favorite essential oil blend is Lemongrass and tea tree.
absolutely love this recipe. I will opt the silver spoon and use a wooden one when dealing with the bentonite clay
Doesn't mixing bentonite clay with metal damage the chemical properties of the clay?? And does the gray color of bentonite stain your clothes??
The best thing for me is tea tree oil, baking soda stains my clothes but tea tree oil never does and keeps me dry and clean smelling all day and night.
I have tried a similar recipe to this, put in a old glue stick container too! But it rubs onto my clothes and leaves a waxy residue! So pure tea tree oil is the best thing so far, I just poured some into an old deodorant bottle by popping out the ball with a butter knife, though once removing the ball part of the deodorant bottle, it leaves a slight gap that can lead to leaks so always keep it upright.
The Indian healing clay just made it amazing lol kicked it up an notch
This has to be the BEST IDEA I've EVER SEEN!!!!
Recently made one myself, I love it! I have been using it this last week, and switched out all my skin products with diys of yours. Went pescetarian a year ago, and want to go vegan soon, you make such great vegan foods! As an environmental fighter myself your videos are a huge help:)) Great recipe, I love your channel Ela
What's stopping you from going vegan? I'm curious.
Sorin Oka My mom is pescetarian and my dad eats meat, so they won't let me become vegan since we'll have to make three different meals. My mom wants to be vegan too, but she says it's difficult when my dad eats meat
love the size of this recipe. word of caution with the clay: if you haven't used diy deoderant before or have sensitive armpits I would either skip it or use it sparingly. my underarms cannot handle it. they still turn bright red if I use it. much better than the dark, flakey issue I had when I first switched though
Works great!!! Thank you! :) The only thing is that it leaves a little greenish color. I think it's from the betonite clay, but I don't mind.
Brilliant.So simple and effective.Thank you!
I never really thought about what goes into deodorant. I'm definitely going to try this sometime.
I like your way to explain everything about the recipe 🥰💜 thanks alot
Oh Ela, I miss your DIY-videos terribly. Please do some more. Xx
