Homemade Deodorant: Instructions & Recipe
Today’s feature is from Angry Chicken with a really nice recipe for Homemade Deodorant (yup.):
… I love making body products and get so sick of reading ingredients and worrying about all that. I also wanted to make my own because I thrive on the Stick-It-To-The-Man feeling I get when I don’t have to buy basic necessities that most people assume you have to buy, you know? I find it thrilling.
The ingredients used:
3 TBS shea butter
3 TBS baking soda
2 TBS corn starch
2 TBS cocoa butter
2 vitamin E oil gel caps (squeeze out the oil)
Everything’s melted together, next some essential oil mixed in and then the mixture is refrigerated until set. So-Easy! Make sure to visit the site to get all the recipe’s details & info.
The nice thing about making your own deodorant is that you can always adjust to your personal needs or preferences. Less scent? No problem! Once you find a base recipe that you really like, you can switch around fragrances. Some days you may like to be “fruity or citrus-y”, others a more floral fragrance. Make 2 or 3 different scents out of one batch and you’ll have an option to fit your mood each morning

I would like to try this deoderant recipe but I’m not sure if I will need to keep it in the refridgerator until all used up or just until it sets? Will it still be effective if not in the fridge after it’s set?
Hi Veronica, it just needs to be refrigerated until it sets. Once it’s firmed up, you can set it out on your dressing table (or wherever) and keep it handy there.
could I use sage oil in this recipe for extra sweatty hubby I hear it reduces sweat production by 50%
and can i use another sent mixed with it?
Hey was also wondering if this got stiff enough to pour into a roll up stick?
This maybe a silly question, but how do you apply it?
You apply it with your fingers.
And how much essential oil do you add?
There’s no amount specified so start with a few drops then adjust to your preference.
