  • Hey, RUclips!! Thanks for watching!! Love Ya!!
    Before using this, you may want to detox your armpits. See my video: • Underarm Mask | Armpit...
    RECIPE
    Ingredients
    ½ cup coconut oil
    1/2 cup shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter (or a mix of all three equal to 1 part) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
    ½ cup + 1 tsp beeswax www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
    1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil - optional
    3 tablespoons baking soda (Omit this if you have sensitive skin and just use extra arrowroot or cornstarch) I didn't use the baking soda in this video.
    1/2 cup organic arrowroot powder www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=...
    Optional: Essential oils of choice - I used about 10 drops of lemon and 10 drops of eucalyptus oil.
    Combine coconut oil, shea (or other) butter, and beeswax in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1 inch of water in it.
    Stir ingredients constantly until they are melted and smooth:
    Remove from heat and add the vitamin E oil, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and essential oils.
    Gently stir by hand until all ingredients are incorporated.
    If you will be making these into bars, pour into muffin tins or other molds while still liquid. If you will be putting into an old deodorant container to use like stick deodorant, let the mixture harden for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature to harden and when it is about the consistency of peanut butter, use a spoon to scoop into the deodorant tube and pack down to fill.
    Then, leave the cap off overnight to completely harden before using.
    *Note*: This recipe can be adjusted to make any quantity that you’d like by increasing the amount of ingredients used. This batch made enough deodorant for my husband and I for about 2-3 months. You could also cut the recipe in half if you want to make a smaller amount.
    FAQs
    Why is mine taking so long to harden?
    This is common when using the baking soda. Try putting it in the fridge for a few hours to harden.
    It seems to be leaving stains on my shirt- what do I do?
    This is likely just due to the oil residue that is there for a few minutes right after it is applied. Try keeping it in the fridge so a smaller amount is transferred to skin or waiting approximately 5 minutes after applying before putting a shirt on.
    Help! I have a horrible rash after a few days/weeks/months of using this.
    This is also common in some skin types and if you have used conventional deodorant for a long time and have a build up of the chemicals from that deodorant in your skin. I’ve found that doing an armpit detox once a week makes a huge difference. You can also try omitting the baking soda from the recipe, which resolves the issue for most people.
    Is this an antiperspirant?
    No. Stopping the body’s ability to sweat is not a natural process and there is no way that I know of to accomplish this naturally. The good news is that you will sweat less and less as your body adjusts to a natural deodorant and it won’t be needed anymore. Again, the armpit detox can help speed that up. I went from using clinical strength deodorant to not needing an antiperspirant at all and just using a very light natural deodorant.
    Have you ever made your own personal care products? How did it go? Let me know below!

    This looks amazing thinking I will try this as I don’t care for the baking soda recipe I have tried in the past..both lemon and eucalyptus are anti viral as well as anti fungal so that should kill any of bad guys as well as odors...tea tree another great choice...I always pour into my containers in a liquid state and it works beautifully...many thanks for your time and thoughtfulness sharing with those who want natural alternatives...I have found when using coco butter it’s very hard to disguise it’s very prominent fragrance and I do love the smell in soaps but not under my arms...stay blessed sweet lady...

    Great video! I just wanted to say, that you can melt all the harder ingredients together, then add the powder and essential oils after taking it off the heat, and then just pour it into your containers(: It may be a bit easier.

    I tried making this recipe and I love it so far! The consistency is perfect, I only need one swipe and im done, and it lasts most of the day. It doesnt help much as an antiperspirant but im more concerned that i smell like delicious cocoa butter now rather than stank. I live in Florida so not stinking is rly important lol. This deodorant seriously feels like lip balm i can put on my underarms; it absorbs fast and doesnt leave any kind of residue under my arms.
    As for variations on your recipe: I used sunflower oil instead of vitamin E oil since shea butter is already high in vitamin E. I used rose, rosemary, lavender-tea tree, and lemongrass essential oils but the major fragrance ended up being the cocoa butter which i am more than fine with. Reducing the yield by half still yielded 2.5 sticks!
    As someone who has a sensitivity to baking soda, wants to avoid aluminum, and also is allergic to corn starch and propylene glycol, this recipe is perfect for me. THANK YOU for sharing your recipe!

      phantomGender be thankful that you sweat even when wearing this natural deodorant. Our lymphatic system needs to drain daily to remove toxins from the body....keeps the lymph nodes clear. Women especially since we have lymph nodes right near the breast and things like alumin and wire bras will cause cancer long term.

      I've been trying to transition to all natural deodorant for about a year now. And I've used about three or four different kinds of the store bought natural deodorants, but they still have about 32 ingredients. Anyway the first batch that I made on my own had 1/4 cup baking soda 1/4 cup arrowroot starch and 1/4 cup coconut oil. And then I added lavender and tea tree for its antimicrobial properties. Lo and behold my armpits turned red and funky and got a really weird odor. So I've done a bentonite clay armpit detox on two separate occasions and I think I finally deduced that I'm reacting to baking soda. I just bought all the supplies for this recipe. Cross your fingers!

      Hi Zulema. It was arrowroot powder. I ordered mine from amazon. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/Starwest-Botanicals-Organic-Arrowroot-Powder/dp/B00ZDO82VM/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1504412380&sr=1-4&keywords=arrowroot%2Bpowder&th=1

      Hi Suhi Murugesh! The essential oils act as a preservative. Mine has stayed fresh for over two months, probably three. tfw

    Is it okay if we don’t put root powder and wax

    • @GeauxGrow
      @GeauxGrow  5 лет назад

      Hi Maitha. Thanks for watching!! I have tried a deodorant recipe without wax, but it will be much softer without the wax. The coconut oil tends to melt at higher temperatures. You could leave it in the fridge. That was an inconvenience for me. You could use it without arrowroot powder. The arrowroot powder helps a bit with perspiration. When I researched these recipes, I did see a substitute of cornstarch for arrowroot powder...same amount. I hope this helps! ❤️

    I recently made my own deodorant and made a complete mess when trying to put the mix into the tube. My son suggested using a piping bag. If you don’t have one, a plastic bag with the corner cut out should do the trick.

    • @GeauxGrow
      @GeauxGrow  3 года назад +1

      Hi Maria! Everyone is different. Some days I would perspire a lot, but have no odor. Some days, I would hardly perspire and did. Now, I don't blame it on the deodorant. During that time, my hormones were "changing". I love the deodorant as well as the spray deodorant on this video: ruclips.net/video/iU-F5w7Woy8/видео.html

      Hi Evangeline Yawn. Yes, it works pretty good for me. It took a bit for my body to get used to it (for it to work all day). I'm in the garden a lot and perspire a lot. I still want to do a diy with my old recipe that uses bentonite clay. I'll do that one real soon. Thanks so much for watching! 💓

    • @evangelineyawn1067
      @evangelineyawn1067 7 лет назад +3

      Sha-na-nah Sha-na-nah Thank you so much for the quick reply! I love your energy! It honestly feels like being at family's house just chatting and cooking something up watching your video. I just absolutely love your energy and personality in this video. I haven't watched the others yet, but I plan on spending some of my day looking at your other videos. This was really the only deodorant one I could find without baking soda. Or up until the point I came across it and stopped looking else where because of your personality. Lol.
      From the research I have done, baking soda is not really good for homemade deodorant because it, for one, burns or just really damages people a lot of the time used in such a high percentage and is abrasive and it clogs your pores which is not good especially for the lymph nodes and breast tissue we are basically putting it directly onto and blocking the natural sweat and detox process. That's just my research since my mom had to go through breast cancer and getting her lymph nodes removed with a double mastectomy. That has what really opened my eyes about how important trying to switch up whatever I can of my store bought products for homemade ones is.
      I live in the Houston Tx heat and humidity and I like to garden and all of that as well when I can. There are not many things more rewarding than being able to grow your own food!!!
      The deodorant will be kept inside where it is cool though, and I don't mind sweating. I am on long term antibiotics and treatments for a late stage disease I hope will go into remission, but sweating is really good for me (I am not saying an of this for pity, it's just a fact of life, and life is still good 😁).
      Sorry, another question, but I am wondering after the deodorant settles and sits in the tubes, cools down completely, is it stiff enough? or is it soft and creamy? Would there be anything you would change? Like adding more or less of beeswax or arrow root? Oils? Butters? Anything? Or were you happy with the way it turned out?
      I don't want to have to go to the fridge every time I need to apply deodorant either. Lol. That's crazy.
      I have some coconut oil infused with vanilla and want to use some sweet orange essential oil for a "Dreamsicle" or "Creamsicle" type of smell. I love making pretty much all of my homemade products that I can with that smell.
      I buy pretty much all of my ingredients in bulk as well because it is so true that most diy beauty things call for most of the same ingredients.
      I would LOVE to see your bentonite clay tutorial, can't wait!!!
      Sorry for the long comment, basically telling you my life story, and multiple questions. Lol. But thank you so much, I am going to drink my morning coffee and watch some of your other videos now.
      I never comment on things because I am not able to keep thins short and sweet, it always turns into a novel. Lol. I'm really sorry about that. x1000 I apologize.
      Have a beautiful day.

    • @GeauxGrow
      @GeauxGrow  7 лет назад +3

      Evangeline don't apologize for that reply. I really enjoyed getting to know you a little better. The breast cancer risk is the reason why I even considered changing deodorants. I've tried so, so many (the crystal, Tom's etc). Then when I made a deodorant with baking soda, it worked great but it burned my underarms and turned them dark. Eww. LOL
      You're right. I love gardening. I've been fighting grass in my garden. It's been raining so much for about a month. It's a nightmare, but I'm gonna keep fighting.😄
      I hope you go into remission as well.
      Funny you should ask about the consistency of the deodorant. I was just thinking about it the other day. The stick is kinda soft. It keeps the stick form though. I would add maybe 1 more Tbsp of beeswax if I do it again. Also, maybe a bit more arrowroot powder just for my own "security" LOL
      That infused coconut oil sounds heavenly. Do you buy it that way or do you infuse it yourself?
      Thanks so much for the nice comments. I try to be myself. I can be a bit of a clown sometimes. But if I can make my viewers smile or laugh,
      my work is done. LOL Thanks for your support.

      I made them, then let it sit overnight, then I had to suddenly pack to come to Mississippi for my husband's work AND I FORGOT THEM! Lol. I meant to grab them. I kept telling myself to bring them.
      I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to me. So in like 4-6 weeks I will get back to Houston and try them. I was so upset I forgot them. I put so much work into them, then cleaning up everything because I am so messy. I was so upset with myself.

    • @GeauxGrow
      @GeauxGrow  7 лет назад +1

      AWW Evangeline! So sorry that happened. I do that all the time. What essential oils did you put in it? Was it firm enough? I just did a video that I need to upload of another recipe. It uses DE. It came out so soft. 😢 It's still usable, but I will have to apply with my fingers. I'm still reviewing it.

    I hate cooking much less mixing up deodorant. I found a new alternative. Lume deodorant, they have a youtube site too. all natural, no aluminum and no baking soda, i know that baking soda can irritate some people. and they have some kind of bunny award for not hurting animals. 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
