Here are a few, quick, super easy, minimal ingredient recipes for a homemade deodorant in various blends!

____________

I've personally heard numerous counts of women & men switching their over the counter deodorants to a 100% plant-based concoction with subtle, yet powerful health benefits.

THESE BENEFITS INCLUDE

  • Less sweating where applied

  • Less body odor (B.O)

  • Neutralizes pH of glands & skin

  • Promotes healthy circulation

  • Aids in detoxification of lymph glands

  • Helps eliminate toxin build up over time

Which we can all agree,

makes an unhappy pit definitely happier.

I DO NOT HAVE THESE INGREDIENTS?

Don't own or have access to these ingredients below? Simply smearing some coconut oil (by itself or with added essential oils) works wonders.

Also

Try a zero waste approach by patting down a dime size amount of aluminum-free Sodium bicarbonate to the arm pits, or anywhere else with unpleasant odors.

HERE ARE THE 4 QUICK DEODORANT RECIPES

1) Pit Paste

2) Solid Deodorant

3) Spray Deodorant

4) Roll On Deodorant

P.S. my current favorite is the paste & the spray! But all work wonderfully! If you do not have the ingredients, I sell most of these types of deodorants!

  • 3 teaspoons: Colloidal Silver (optional)

  • Essential Oils (optional)

  1. First, to make the magnesium oil, you must have magnesium flakes & water.

  2. Boil 1/2 cup magnesium flakes with 1/2 cup clean water for 5 min, then allow to cool.

  3. add essential oils once magnesium oil is cooled & pour into an empty spray bottle.

  4. If no magnesium oil, use colloidal silver, add essential oils & pour into spray bottle.

  5. If no magnesium oil, or colloidal silver, use clean water, add EO's & pour into the bottle.

Note: A slight stinging sensation can sometimes occur if you JUST finished shaving & apply (or) if you are very low in magnesium. In 1 to 2 days this should subside.

Recipe No. 4

E A S Y

2 INGREDIENT | ROLL ON DEODORANT VIAL

  • 3 Tablespoons: Coconut Oil (or any carrier oil)

  • Essential Oils

  • Empty Glass Roll-On Vial Bottle

  1. Add carrier oil to empty sanitized roll-on bottle.

HOW TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF NATURAL DEODORANTS

  • Allow a few weeks for body to acclimate to new, natural personal care routines.

  • It is very healthy to scrub your pits regularly to rid of any excess dead skin cells & bacteria.

  • After your shower you can lightly pat a small portion of 3/4 water & 1/4 apple cider vinegar (AVC).

  • The ACV is a wonderful cleanser, and regulates the pH of your skin & within.

  • It will also act as a clean slate for you to use your deodorant (pit paste, solid, spray, or roll-on)
