I just found this video. You guys are so cute and you make this look so easy. I may just do this now. Thanks so much for your time and wisdom. I have two teenage girls and hope they will like it the same as your daughter!
Just curious, since you and daughter dislike tea-tree oil so much have you ezxperimented with lavender oil? Its darn near just as potent as tea tree and it smells better. Also, you could easilly distill your own lavender oil since the flowers contain so much essential oils. Just some thoughts, thanks for sharing!
So does that mean you can use the edible coconut oil for it in grocery store today but not sure if it will work could you please let me know...Thank you
I have tried this & found that shortening (i.e. Crisco) works better than the coconut oil (spreads easier & has a nicer texture). Either formula works better than the commercial deodorant!
I've just made some of this, though I melted the coconut oil first and didn't add essential oils. I've had so much trouble over the years with deodorants that either don't work or irritate my skin to the point of rash. My underarms are super sensitive so I'll be happy if this works for me. So far it seems just fine. Keeping it in the fridge as it's hot right now where I am. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your video. Just want to give some info on the cornstarch. Unless it is organic, non GMO cornstarch it can be very harmful to the human body.
This is wonderful! I've been trying to find an aluminum free deodorant FOREVER and they're so expensive and don't work. This is great! And so cheap. I make almost all my own skincare and ALL my own cleaning products, so this is great to have one more thing on the list of things that are safe, gentle, and save me loads of money. Thanks! :)
i made this and it works amazinnggg! it is the best deodorant i've ever used. it doesn't smell and doesn't leave all that residue on my clothes and i sweat less or not at all. weird but true!
Love your channels and your wisdom! I would like to know where to purchase the different oils, ( tea tree, orange, almond, etc) I would like to buy the products that you are using. Thanks for sharing!
tea tree (used in deoderants)oil is a a great antimicrobial agent (helps w/ the yukky bacteria , that causes odor) not sure if your a fan of pepermint or eucalyptus, but they work well w/ tea tree oil (odor masking). Also , there are some great receipes on youtube that uses shea butter instead of coconut oil- in case you'd like to try another natural butter - and arrowroot instead of corn starch
We make this home made deodorant, however I heat up the coconut oil and put it in a zip lock bag with the dry ingredients, and then put it in a container after mixing it. I've found it doesn't crumble this way. I have not had a deodorant that works as good as this, and it doesn't contain aluminum as with most manufactured sticks.

Oh the oils that are linked to estrogen disease and growing large breast/nipples in boys are Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary Oil and Lavender. I bought all of these. Ugh.
Absolutely gonna favorite this video but I wanted to tell you that I just been reading bad things about tea tree oil. It is a phytoestrogen and they are responsible to estrogen diseases like breast cancer, fibroid tumors, endometriosis etc. I'm upset because I just got a 16 oz bottle of 3 essential oils today that I found out later tonight are the very thing I want to avoid. I saw your other recipe but like this better. I'll try with a different preservative though. Not sure which yet.
@curves25able no. Edible coconut oil is food grade, but that does not make it organic. It surely is not organic if is says 100% pure edible coconut oil on the bottle. Organic coconut oil if not always, then most always virgin or extra virgin coconut oil from plants that are USDA organic, which means free of chemicals. Many chemicals are used on coconut plants as well as potentially dangerous fertilizers used in the soil of many non organic coconut producers. I suggest you go with the organic
@curves25able It is the same, but you want to make sure it says unrefined, because the refined had the vitamins removed and your body needs the vitamins.
Thank you for this video. You have solved my problem with deodorant. I hate any the antiperspirants and deodorants in the stores, so I stay away from them as much as possible. This recipe makes sense to me. It's from natural ingredients.
LOL shalom sis, continue being productive, creative, and original. Keep it simple organic, real and natural. We must be more producers and less consumers then and only then we begin to see how we bein decieved into spending our money instead of investing money. we can make, grow and even plant for own children necessities for life

I love how animated you are, its great. I wish you wouldn't downplay what you do though. The world needs more moms like you!
@redeemed2bfree I just made this and it did start to get pasty but when i put it on my arm pits the baking soda and corn starch counteracted the coconut oil. Though my armpits are at around 98 degrees, i dont notice any dripping or wetness. Storage may be tough, but there is always the fridge.
GIIIRRRL! Lol...i made this the other day and i am never going back to the so called strong enough for a man deodorant. When it wore off i was smellin' like a man. This stuff is AMAZING! I believe the store boughg makes u smell even worse no matter how much you shower!
I am unsure where to get the coconut oil from. I have seen different types and I am not sure which kind to get and from where. Same for the oils. Please advise.
@confused31 Your local health food store or GNC :) I prefer the food grade kind. They also have essential oils at the health food stores and GNC as well. Hope this helps. If not, ebay to the rescue...lol!
@SPARKWISDOM Thank you very much. But I am considering the shea butter because the coconut oil melts. So I have to keep it in the fridge. I have no clue what to do when I need to go on a trip.
I've read some reviews on other websites saying that they had to use it for 6-8 weeks before their body "adjusted" to it and it started working for them.
I made my own batch but I think I used to much coconut oil. Right now, my coconut oil has liquidated in the deodorant container, and its a mess when I try to apply it now. I think I will stick to one 1bsp next time, because I used 3. The deodorant is working though. Next time, I will try your armpit candy version, I think that will work better.

Thanks to this video I have been aluminum free for over a month now. It feels great and I LOVE IT!!! The one thing that I had to do to tweak the recipe was to add a tbsp of pure cocoa butter. Cocoa butter has a much higher melting point so the deodorant doesn't melt when it's not refrigerated. I have been on clinical strength deodorant for 2 years b/c I sweat easily but THIS recipe works just as good. Thank you so much for giving me an aluminum free option.
Thanks for this, my 7yo is at an age where she needs deodorant, and it is hard to find a deodorant that is an not an antiperspirant b/c she is a child, she doesn't sweat like that, so this is natural and safe and I know what is going in. Thank you.
I do not know you however I have to say from what I see in your videos. You are a wonderful woman and mother. Its refreshing to see parents that really care about there children . Peace
@SPARKWISDOM No ma'am, Im not allergic to Coconut oil. We have 10 trees of coconuts actually. But the smell sometimes really gets to you, and where im from you dont want to be smelling like a coconut all day.
The Cocoa butter is a little hard to find.....can i use cold cream instead?
Im quite excited to make this, and share it to everyone.
Thank you so much for this video, I have always wanted to learn how to make deodorant and how I can make some naturally without the chemicals! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
@masschambers Sure, use it. I'm not certain how you'll keep it soft enough to go under your arms though. Also,not too much baking soda. Let me know how it goes. :)
Such a great video! Thank you. Thinking about the mixing process, would you be able to warm the coconut oil (maybe in a saucepan on a low heat) so that it becomes a bit more runny and easier to mix?
@ForViewingOnly Absolutely! Yet don't warm it too much because it melts at 76 degrees. May be too difficult to get it into the container also. Have fun!
@SpyGirlx1 Sure, is there a specific reason why though? Glycerin is usually a gloss for hair and adds a shine in cosmetics. It's sticky too. Just add a little.
I just made this except in way smaller proportions (teaspoon of each) It wasn't very powdery so I added more of each, but to be honest it still seemed too creamy. It's like 100 degrees out here and our air isn't super great so I put it in the fridge... I put it an an old Burt's Bee jar (there was a powder clay mask in there). Should it be more powdery or creamy?
Thanks for this recipe. I look forward to making this. I have a couple of questions: Since coconut oil liquifies at ~75 degrees. ...
1. Do you keep your homemade deo stick in the fridge?
2. Does the deodorant stick melt down in hot temperatures? I mean would you trust travelling somewhere hot with it in your bag?
I love coconut oil. I actually use it alone as my all over moisturizer or mixed with shea ... it's so easily absorbed. So many benefits for the hair & skin!
Have u tried softening the coconut oil in the microwave or a double boiler first before mixing? It makes it easier to work with, then just pop the container(s) in the fridge for a couple hours, and they will be smoother and completely solid for you and the other ladies of the house :) And if you are looking for a really healthful tea, try a Hibiscus tea, it controls cholesterol and blood pressure, it changes color on you so don't be suprised when it goes from deep purple to burgandy when u stir
@SPARKWISDOM you are very welcome, I get my tea from Darlene's Tea Port ( name of her Ebay store) her Ebay name is theteaport, or directly from her website Chelmsfordtea(dot)com. Her prices are reasonable (especially on Ebay when she post the tea as an auction), her selection is phenominal, and free shipping on orders over $50. Her teas are always fresh and flavorful. My husband dosen't usually like tea, he loves several of the blends she offers.
Thank you for this! I have been desperate for a decent deodorant. I have extremely sensitive and allergic skin, so I am very picky about what goes on it, especially on the delicate areas like face and underarms. I kept getting rashes or worse from natural brands. I tried this, and it's great! I am a sweater, and this helps with that (although sweating is GOOD for you!) and it stays fresh all day. Very simple, very easy, although I recommend softening the coconut oil a bit so it's easier to mix.
@akiss84 I'd suggest adding a few drops of Dr. Bronners Peppermint Oil. My teen and tween wear it and I have not noticed that they have had excessive perspiring. My youngest used too.
I guess I can go ahead and post the reasons we should not use tea tree or lavender essential oils for our natural deodorants. The two aforementioned essential oils MAY cause estrogen positive breast cancer. Try lemongrass or bergamont instead. Resrarch the eseentials FIRST before using...happy creating!
ok i made mine tonight and it came right on time because i used the last of the store bout one lol. But it is in the fridge going to try it out in the AM thanks again for the tut
Most Cornstarch about 83% quoted from Wikipedia is GMO or Genetically modified along with most Soy, Canola oil and other corn products. Many people in health world believe it can severely impact health and possibly even change the human genome. The skin especially the underarms absorb everything directly into the bloodstream . Organic Cornstarch is about $2.00 .
I found this same recipe online and I noticed it was really dry and powdery too...what i did was put it in a pot or microwave to let the coconut oil melt a little to make it creamy. This mad it easier to mix and easier to put in the container! it worked great!
I cant wait to try your natural homemade deodorant- I have tried many and none really work to stop my sweating but now Im going to try this for myself and my son.
This is such a wonderful idea! I actually made some of it yesterday, and it turned out great. I think I may have added a little too much coconut oil (I don't like to measure- I eyeball ingredients, Lol) and so it was a little unspreadable. But i've found that taking my finger and rubbing a bit on each day does the trick! I don't smell at all, and this is very cost friendly and good for the environment!
I am sensitive to corn products, can the corn startch be substituted with something else?

@kthename08 Depends on your climate too. When it is warmer, it's less firm. Cold in the home and its nearly hard. Trial and error Luv!

Thanks! I just made a batch. I used lemon and orange essential oils instead of tea tree oil. I'm sure it will work very well.

@nikozombie89 tropicaltraditions . com has the best virgin coconut oil. Buy it by the gallon. I bought a 5 gallon bucket of the Gold Label for less than $250! It's so worth it! Occasionally they have sales and coupons. Subscribe to their newsletter and find them on Facebook! Eat it every day, put it all over your body after a shower, cook with it. Endless uses!

Thanks to this video I have been aluminum free for over a month now. It feels great and I LOVE IT!!! The one thing that I had to do to tweak the recipe was to add a tbsp of pure cocoa butter. Cocoa butter has a much higher melting point so the deodorant doesn't melt when it's not refrigerated. I have been on clinical strength deodorant for 2 years b/c I sweat easily but THIS recipe works just as good. Thank you so much for giving me an aluminum free option.

Thanks for this, my 7yo is at an age where she needs deodorant, and it is hard to find a deodorant that is an not an antiperspirant b/c she is a child, she doesn't sweat like that, so this is natural and safe and I know what is going in. Thank you.

iceboxlabradors 1 year ago
@iceboxlabradors Yes ma'am, use cocoa butter. Are you allergic to coconut oil?
SPARKWISDOM 1 year ago
@SPARKWISDOM No ma'am, Im not allergic to Coconut oil. We have 10 trees of coconuts actually. But the smell sometimes really gets to you, and where im from you dont want to be smelling like a coconut all day.
The Cocoa butter is a little hard to find.....can i use cold cream instead?
Im quite excited to make this, and share it to everyone.
iceboxlabradors 1 year ago
@iceboxlabradors LOL! Wow 10 trees of coconuts? That's fantastic! I don't know about cold cream...you could use baking soda (alone) or alcohol.

Such a great video! Thank you. Thinking about the mixing process, would you be able to warm the coconut oil (maybe in a saucepan on a low heat) so that it becomes a bit more runny and easier to mix?
ForViewingOnly 1 year ago
@ForViewingOnly Absolutely! Yet don't warm it too much because it melts at 76 degrees. May be too difficult to get it into the container also. Have fun!

CAN I ADD GLYCERIN TO THIS RECIPE?
SpyGirlx1 1 year ago
@SpyGirlx1 Sure, is there a specific reason why though? Glycerin is usually a gloss for hair and adds a shine in cosmetics. It's sticky too. Just add a little.
SPARKWISDOM 1 year ago
I just made this except in way smaller proportions (teaspoon of each) It wasn't very powdery so I added more of each, but to be honest it still seemed too creamy. It's like 100 degrees out here and our air isn't super great so I put it in the fridge... I put it an an old Burt's Bee jar (there was a powder clay mask in there). Should it be more powdery or creamy?

@EccentricPuzzle Creamy, it's probably just too hot where you are right now. You can always keep it in the fridge too.

Thanks for this recipe. I look forward to making this. I have a couple of questions: Since coconut oil liquifies at ~75 degrees. ...
1. Do you keep your homemade deo stick in the fridge?
2. Does the deodorant stick melt down in hot temperatures? I mean would you trust travelling somewhere hot with it in your bag?
I love coconut oil. I actually use it alone as my all over moisturizer or mixed with shea ... it's so easily absorbed. So many benefits for the hair & skin!
kdw4jc 1 year ago
@kdw4jc Yes, keep it in the fridge. When traveling put it in a baggie or it will melt! Thanks for watching. I put it on my skin every night :)
SPARKWISDOM 1 year ago
Have u tried softening the coconut oil in the microwave or a double boiler first before mixing? It makes it easier to work with, then just pop the container(s) in the fridge for a couple hours, and they will be smoother and completely solid for you and the other ladies of the house :) And if you are looking for a really healthful tea, try a Hibiscus tea, it controls cholesterol and blood pressure, it changes color on you so don't be suprised when it goes from deep purple to burgandy when u stir

@Oreocremerocks I'm going to try the tea! Thanks for the tip-you rock!
SPARKWISDOM 1 year ago
@SPARKWISDOM you are very welcome, I get my tea from Darlene's Tea Port ( name of her Ebay store) her Ebay name is theteaport, or directly from her website Chelmsfordtea(dot)com. Her prices are reasonable (especially on Ebay when she post the tea as an auction), her selection is phenominal, and free shipping on orders over $50. Her teas are always fresh and flavorful. My husband dosen't usually like tea, he loves several of the blends she offers.
Oreocremerocks 1 year ago
Thank you for this! I have been desperate for a decent deodorant. I have extremely sensitive and allergic skin, so I am very picky about what goes on it, especially on the delicate areas like face and underarms. I kept getting rashes or worse from natural brands. I tried this, and it's great! I am a sweater, and this helps with that (although sweating is GOOD for you!) and it stays fresh all day. Very simple, very easy, although I recommend softening the coconut oil a bit so it's easier to mix.

what about lavender instead of the tea tree? would that work?
WitchesHallow 1 year ago
@WitchesHallow No, you need a preservative for the mix or it will mold.
SPARKWISDOM 1 year ago
I guess I can go ahead and post the reasons we should not use tea tree or lavender essential oils for our natural deodorants. The two aforementioned essential oils MAY cause estrogen positive breast cancer. Try lemongrass or bergamont instead. Resrarch the eseentials FIRST before using...happy creating!

FYI: You should NOT use TEA TREE OR LAVENDER oil under your arms. Research the properties essential oils FIRST. Great video!

Most Cornstarch about 83% quoted from Wikipedia is GMO or Genetically modified along with most Soy, Canola oil and other corn products. Many people in health world believe it can severely impact health and possibly even change the human genome. The skin especially the underarms absorb everything directly into the bloodstream . Organic Cornstarch is about $2.00 .

This is such a wonderful idea! I actually made some of it yesterday, and it turned out great. I think I may have added a little too much coconut oil (I don't like to measure- I eyeball ingredients, Lol) and so it was a little unspreadable. But i've found that taking my finger and rubbing a bit on each day does the trick! I don't smell at all, and this is very cost friendly and good for the environment!
