DIY Deodorant Update

Comments

A while back I did a post about DIY deodorant. I wasn't a big fan of the scent and the consistency needed to be firmed up a bit in my opinion. The original recipe can be found here and is pretty awesome in and of itself so you should go check it out. My tweaks are below.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1/4 C Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Beeswax Pellets
  • 1/4 C Baking Soda
  • 1/4 C Cornstarch 
  • 10 Drops Purification Oil
  • 10 Drops Sweet Orange Oil
  • 5 Drops Lemon Oil


OTHER:
  • Empty Deodorant Tube


PROCEDURE:
  1. Melt coconut oil and beeswax pellets slowly over very low heat in a small saucepan.
  2. Remove from heat once completely melted.
  3. Mix in cornstarch and baking soda until smooth.
  4. Add any essential oils you so desire. 
    • You can add the ones from the original recipe, the ones I am using or different ones altogether. If you do not have any oils feel free to leave them out, the deodorant will still work. 
  5. Pour mixture into an empty deodorant tube or other twist up container. I prefer to let mine sit for a minute and begin to settle then give it a quick mix before I pour it but this isn't necessary.
  6. Allow the tube to cool completely.
The tube can be a little difficult to get going but, out of all the variations of beeswax I have tried, this is the easiest while still remaining solid enough to use easily in a roll-on form.
