Thank you for sharing your video. I am currently having an issue with sensitivities to deodorant. I am so glad I saw your video as you had a great suggestion to use arrowroot instead of corn starch. Since I have a coconut allergy and not a palm oil allergy, I found palm oil vegetable shortening in place of the coconut. I noticed that it took 8 tablespoons and it came out very nicely.
Just so all of you know in case your that ignorant, Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate. Baking Soda has a TON of sodium in it because it is almost pure sodium! This recipe is just as bad if not worse for you than regular deodorant due to the insane amount of sodium.
@Tokkitaco You know you're not INGESTING the sodium, right? And you're only putting on a tiny bit a day. It's not even as much sodium per day as one can of soda.
I am transitioning to all natural homemade products, I just made shampoo tonight in fact! So this is def next on my list. And I have to say you are just cute as button! :)
A friend of mine showed me this recipe, and I made some today. I put it through the yard work test, and my pits smell like nothing! So far it works great! When I first made it, it was pretty soft so I put it in the fridge and it got hard. I'm thinking it will go on easier when it's soft. I'll just have to find the right place to store it. Thanks for the video!
Coconut oil liquefies around 76 degrees, which can be achieved by placing the jar in a bowl of warm water or keeping it at room temperature in warmer months. Then the ingredients can be easily incorporated and poured into the mold or container of your choice, where the deodorant will solidify as it cools.
Awesome! Thanks for posting! I buy regular deodorants/antipersprants and the stores deodorants just does not work well for me. Most deodorants work well for not letting me be stinky, BUT I sweat like crazy and have ruined a ton of my shirts. :( I have tried spraying shout on the pits of the shirts were they're stained before I throw them in the wash but the stains still doesn't come out. With this homemade deodorant does it keep you from staining your shirts under the pits??
Pfew, the microwave generation of junkfood-craving couch potatoes has lost all personal perspective on health or wholesomeness...
They regurgitate scientific trivia to justify their bad habits and fail to grasp what any passionate homemaking housewife or individual equipped with common sense easily knows from direct experience...
@mama2perfection It really depends on the person. My husband can put it on once and it will last for two days. I sweat more profusely, so usually once a day is appropriate unless I will be out and about, then I might apply twice. It is not an anti-perspirant, as that is not natural for your body, but it is a deodorant.
Also, why not just melt the coconut oil for a few seconds in the microwave? Seems like it would save a lot of unnecessary effort (and mess, apparently) in the mixing process. And coconut oil is a solid at room temp, so it will simply 'harden' back to its original state once all the components are thoroughly incorporated. Really no need to go through the hassle of mixing a solidified fat w/those powders.
@visceralanding I don't use a microwave because I prefer to avoid the unnatural processes it involves. Others have certainly melted the coconut oil, but it really changes the consistency. I personally don't recommend it because it will require you to add more cornstarch/baking soda and throw off the recipe proportions. It honestly takes just a few minutes to incorporate. I make a batch in 5 minutes.
Heating oils destroys all its beneficial properties. You could ingest half a pint or more of cold-pressed vegetable unheated oil a day and your body won't mind at all. Ingest the same heated and you'll grow fat and full of pimples.
@suddenlyitsobvious You are wrong. Coconut oil is NOT destroyed by heat, as t's a medium-chain saturated fat – it's very heat stable. It can in fact be heated to exceptionally high temperatures without breaking down (i.e., oxidizing). Which is why it's recommended for cooking. But besides the point, we're not even talking about ingesting it in this instance, but rather applying it topically, which is of course completely different. Ingestion (consumption) is not the same as absorption.
Who said the oil 'is destroyed' as in 'obliterated'?
I'm talking about the nutritious properties contained within the oil.
It's easy to understand that when you cook something, it dies.
Heated oils are garbage to the body.
Applying heated oil topically is applying oil stripped of its living qualities, whilst applying unheated oils nourishes the skin cells. I fail to see what's so difficult to grasp about this...
@suddenlyitsobvious Who said? You did. (Up there. I could quote you, but it's right there.) I'm not going to get into a chemistry lesson; also, it's useless to argue on semantics (destroyed = broken down = oxidized = obliterated, etc...) In any event, in the case of coconut oil, because of its molecular structure and high heat resistance, its phytonutrients (or 'nutritious properties,' to use your words) remain intact up to 350ºF, at which point oxidation begins to alter the chemical comp.
A chemistry lesson? Who cares what chemists say. Chemistry, biology, allopathic medicine and the system generally speaking will hardly even recognize the benefits of raw, unprocessed foods and have systematically discouraged the promotion of health through the most evident means. Chemistry or biology isn't even close to understanding the micro-structures of life and the kind of statement you are making is based on the crude measuring of a very reduced amount of parameters.
@visceralanding (3) 'Who said' Well, I said: 'Heating oils destroys all its beneficial properties.' Then you said: 'You are wrong. Coconut oil is NOT destroyed by heat' To which I said: 'Who said the oil 'is destroyed' as in 'obliterated'? I'm talking about the nutritious properties contained within the oil.' I'm sorry if your reading comprehension is somewhat deficient; it seems clear to me the distinction I was making is pertinent and not semantic hairsplitting.
I'll add though that my statement 'Heating oils destroys all its beneficial properties'
was somewhat colloquial and imprecise in the sense that of course not ALL 'beneficial properties' of an oil are destroyed through heating, but in a general sense, much of its living components are.
This is different from claiming that the oil itself is radically destroyed.
@suddenlyitsobvious I've obviously hit a nerve. No need to get so defensive. (I stopped reading when you started w/the whole numbered bullet-point remarks.) Perhaps you'd benefit from the use of some Ayurvedic stress management exercises. Take care of yourself :-)

@8missJZ8 No, it is not necessary. In my experience, it works very well without. (I often use baking soda alone, in fact, and it works amazingly well.)
When I make this, I put it all in a thin-walled plastic container and use a double-boiler method with hot tap water to liquify the coconut oil and get a better powder distribution.
I badly need your help ! I made the deodorant but the temperature is hot here so the mixture is partial liquid all the time. please tell me what can i do? thanks in advance!
@thesewinggarden keep it refrigerated. next time you can use a solid oil/butter that has a higher melting temp like cocoa butter or Shea butter as well.
@serenedevine Well, I cannot answer for her exactly, but if she does, it would not matter. Since it is all-natural, everything in the deodorant is edible and will not harm the body. The deodorant recipe is just like a food recipe in that respect. haha...I guess, if you ever run out of food, but you still have some homemade deodorant left...... haha jk :D
Where do you buy your arrowroot from? I dont know where truly organic arowroot is., btw, arm and hammer baking soda is LOADED with aluminum, switch to Bobs Red MIll it is aluminum free, your gunna give your self cancer this way, but great vid!
@slaughterdobbs There are mixed opinions about Arm & Hammer...but a rep told us there was no aluminum in it. I buy arrowroot powder from Azure Standard or Mountain Rose Herbs.
@slaughterdobbs you can buy arrowroot at your local heath food store - or you can even try and find it at Gordan food service if there is one around you. i think i have seen it there. :D I also just called arm and hammer and the rep said it was "100% pure sodium bicarbonate" you can call them or ck it out online at arm and hammer (dot) com or Churchdwight(dot)com

Thanks for sharing. Just fyi, I just watched this video...it describes why it isn't a good idea to put tea tree oil on your armpits (towards the end of the video)
Thank you for sharing this! Could you please share where we can get large quantities of the organic coconut oil? Also the second ingredient you said you prefer to cornstarch... What is that and where to find it??? Thanks so much!
We have some whole food stores here, but they can get really pricey... With Inflation as it is I'm just checking to see if perhaps you've found some more const effective sources... Thanks again! Great information!
@jedirich04 You can buy coconut oil in bulk through Mountain Rose Herbs. They are an excellent company and offer 1 gallon or 5 gallon containers. We have been buying from them for years. They also sell arrowroot powder, which is the natural replacement for cornstarch.
@faheemthedream2007 You can use your hands to apply or put it in an old deodorant container. It is the same consistency so works really well in a deodorant container.
I just made this...amazing thank you!!! I added lavender, tea tree and sage essential oil for some added benefits. I've been looking for a recipe like this for ages. Love it love it.
@daattic It really depends upon if you are working hard or something. If its just a hot day, it should work fine. If you are working up a sweat, you may want to apply more than once.
I use this everday for 4 months im still loving it i only used a tablespoon of each. and put in im a lip balm container! i only have 30 seconds to make it
I've made a variation of this recipe before but instead of using 8 tb of coconut oil you can use 3 to 4 TB and slight melt the coconut oil in a pan or microwave. Don't melt it completely but just slightly. Doing it this way will reduce the amount of coconut oil you have to use regardless of where you live in the world.
@AshleyLaShun2 it is known that aluminum when in the bloodstream does increase risk of cancer. nearly all commercial deodorants contain some variant of aluminum (see label). It seams logical that it can cause cancer but so can MANY other things. Interestingly cancer rates have been reported lower in France, where it is common for people to not use deodorants but instead fragrances.
I am going to try this as well.You can buy Bob's Red Mill All Natural Arrowroot Starch/Flour and Source Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and essential orders at iherb.com If you're a new customer you can use ongoing coupon code TAW742 to receive $5 off any purchase.The coupon is only valid for one person per household.Another site for essential oils is soap.com and new customers can save up to 20% on all orders with ongoing coupon code MYBABYLOVE

Yes Videos!! I loved this deodorant when I use to make it. For some reason my skin reacts negatively to baking soda now so I had to stop use:( But it lasted all day, the coconut oil gave a nice smell also and I got to make it myself!
I didn't however follow this to a tee so wondering if the oils and arrowroot may help. I used baking soday, cornstarch and coconut oil. If you or anyone out there with sensitive skin has ideas for alternating this recipe please do share.
@blueandblessed Many brands of organic coconut oil are now availabe. The easiest one to find is Nutiva, available online and healthfood stores, even regular grocery stores are carrying it now.
And the jar is just 1 gallon glass jar. Easiest way to get one is to buy dixie pickles, throw away the pickles and use the jar.
@arabcn Arrowroot powder is my natural alternative to cornstarch. It is the thickening agent. You can use olive oil but it will not be as effective because coconut oil has antibacterial properties.
were do you get that huge jar of coconut oil? i would love to get one...also does the deodorant need to stay in the fridge? the reason i ask because in a hot weather the oil starts to melt and looks oily ... and again thank u for sharing
Is their any other oil you could use to substitute the coconut oil? I'm allergic to coconut : ( This idea sounds wicked interesting and I would like to try it but need to use something other then coconut oil. Thank you keep the great videos coming!~
@lakeseminole No, there is not a natural way that I am aware of to stop the sweating. Sweating is a natural necessary body process that is necessary to help detox your body. If you try to stop the process it can cause serious buildup in your body. Anti-perspirants are not healthy for you. I do notice though that I have significantly cut back on the amount of sweat by using this recipe.
@PassionateHomemaking Peppermint oil is a natural mild anti perspirant, it effects the capillary beds in the skin, making them dialate ( thats what gives it that cooling feeling) in doing so, tricks the body into thinking that area is cooler and doesn't need to produce as much sweat, but it is only mildly so, and will disipate over time as its worn. It is an old nursing trick, to add it to bath water, to sooth and cool a hot cranky pt. so they can rest easier :)
One way to save on the amount of coconut oil used could be to melt it a little on the stove or in the microwave so it mixes easier. then it probably would be easier to place in a deodorant container and set out to solidify or solidify in the refrigerator.
@mesweetNheart Yes, but it will change the texture and effectiveness. You will have to use more of the other ingredients to make it the right texture and therefore will through off the proportions.

Thanks for sharing, I will try this recipe! Except for one ingredient that worries me: tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is known to affect oestrogen activity, and round 60% of breast cancers are receptor positive which means their growth can be stimulated by oestrogen! Now, as this hormone is already naturally made inside the breast anyway, I wonder how much it increases you chances of a developing cancer.. But taking the risk still scares me!
You can use applecidervinnegar, the smell of vinegar is gone in a minute, but they say an organic vegan diet, makes you odorless.

Coconut is great for many things - cooking, apparently deodorant :), and I also put it on my face.

Thank you for sharing this! Could you please share where we can get large quantities of the organic coconut oil? Also the second ingredient you said you prefer to cornstarch... What is that and where to find it??? Thanks so much!
We have some whole food stores here, but they can get really pricey... With Inflation as it is I'm just checking to see if perhaps you've found some more const effective sources... Thanks again! Great information!

@jedirich04 You can buy coconut oil in bulk through Mountain Rose Herbs. They are an excellent company and offer 1 gallon or 5 gallon containers. We have been buying from them for years. They also sell arrowroot powder, which is the natural replacement for cornstarch.

@faheemthedream2007 You can use your hands to apply or put it in an old deodorant container. It is the same consistency so works really well in a deodorant container.

@daattic It really depends upon if you are working hard or something. If its just a hot day, it should work fine. If you are working up a sweat, you may want to apply more than once.

@daattic Yes, most likely.

I've made a variation of this recipe before but instead of using 8 tb of coconut oil you can use 3 to 4 TB and slight melt the coconut oil in a pan or microwave. Don't melt it completely but just slightly. Doing it this way will reduce the amount of coconut oil you have to use regardless of where you live in the world.

piricote93 1 year ago
@piricote93 I personally don't recommend it. It can harm some of the benefits of using coconut oil and offset the balance in the recipe.

I heard that regular deodorant causes cancer, does anyone know if that's true?
AshleyLaShun2 1 year ago
@AshleyLaShun2 it is known that aluminum when in the bloodstream does increase risk of cancer. nearly all commercial deodorants contain some variant of aluminum (see label). It seams logical that it can cause cancer but so can MANY other things. Interestingly cancer rates have been reported lower in France, where it is common for people to not use deodorants but instead fragrances.

Yes Videos!! I loved this deodorant when I use to make it. For some reason my skin reacts negatively to baking soda now so I had to stop use:( But it lasted all day, the coconut oil gave a nice smell also and I got to make it myself!
I didn't however follow this to a tee so wondering if the oils and arrowroot may help. I used baking soday, cornstarch and coconut oil. If you or anyone out there with sensitive skin has ideas for alternating this recipe please do share.

blueandblessed 1 year ago
@blueandblessed Many brands of organic coconut oil are now availabe. The easiest one to find is Nutiva, available online and healthfood stores, even regular grocery stores are carrying it now.
And the jar is just 1 gallon glass jar. Easiest way to get one is to buy dixie pickles, throw away the pickles and use the jar.

@arabcn Arrowroot powder is my natural alternative to cornstarch. It is the thickening agent. You can use olive oil but it will not be as effective because coconut oil has antibacterial properties.

Can you use something apart from coconut oil? Something with less scent perhaps? It's hard to get where I live in Aus.
BTW I reckon you could use an applicator if you didn't want to touch it without your hands. A short brissled brush or even an ice-cream stick.

lakeseminole 1 year ago
@lakeseminole No, there is not a natural way that I am aware of to stop the sweating. Sweating is a natural necessary body process that is necessary to help detox your body. If you try to stop the process it can cause serious buildup in your body. Anti-perspirants are not healthy for you. I do notice though that I have significantly cut back on the amount of sweat by using this recipe.
PassionateHomemaking 1 year ago
@PassionateHomemaking Peppermint oil is a natural mild anti perspirant, it effects the capillary beds in the skin, making them dialate ( thats what gives it that cooling feeling) in doing so, tricks the body into thinking that area is cooler and doesn't need to produce as much sweat, but it is only mildly so, and will disipate over time as its worn. It is an old nursing trick, to add it to bath water, to sooth and cool a hot cranky pt. so they can rest easier :)

One way to save on the amount of coconut oil used could be to melt it a little on the stove or in the microwave so it mixes easier. then it probably would be easier to place in a deodorant container and set out to solidify or solidify in the refrigerator.
mesweetNheart 1 year ago
@mesweetNheart Yes, but it will change the texture and effectiveness. You will have to use more of the other ingredients to make it the right texture and therefore will through off the proportions.

Thanks for sharing, I will try this recipe! Except for one ingredient that worries me: tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is known to affect oestrogen activity, and round 60% of breast cancers are receptor positive which means their growth can be stimulated by oestrogen! Now, as this hormone is already naturally made inside the breast anyway, I wonder how much it increases you chances of a developing cancer.. But taking the risk still scares me!
