The Cultivated Apothecary: Week 7 Edition 2: 4 Ingredient Homemade Deodorant
Making your own natural home remedies and health and beauty aids has become a vigilant goal of mine over the last two or three years.
I make so many products right now from lotions, salves, tinctures, herbal tea blends and this... my deodorant.
I had made a post about a year ago using pictures and text to show everyone how I made my deodorant, but alas, my steemit skills have advanced and I thought I'd share in video form, how I make this simple recipe.
Have you ever tried to read the ingredients on your health and beauty aids? Can you even pronounce them without stumbling over the letters? I know I can't
Years ago I started having reactions to the store-bought deodorant I was using; so bad in fact, I had to go see a doctor and get a cream to apply.
Really? This $1 deodorant ended up costing me about $45 ($30 for the doctor visit and another $15 for the prescription). Who knew being dry, irritant-free and not smelly could cost so much!
That was the first time I realized I needed to change things up in my life. Hence... my quest commenced for a more natural lifestyle.
Homemade Deodorant Recipe
1/3 cup coconut oil- liquid form
1/3 cup corn starch
2- tablespoons baking soda
*optional essential oil scent of choosing
Mix all ingredients together then pour into container.

Yup- super easy and basic recipes. The essential oil is optional but I DO love this lemon one I just made. I'll definitely be using it again in the future.

I highly recommend homemade and natural products. I've always hated the commercial ingredients and chemicals and this way I can control what goes into my body... for cheap.
Cheap??? It has more worth than anything else..👍

Doctor visits are not cheap... Especially when you got now health insurance....
Okay but back to topic. I will try it out. Looks like a affordable invest 👍
Oh absolutely! One doctor visit can out people into a huge debt.. for what? Like this example... a rash? That is just awful
There is so much bad "stuff" in the store bought items of these deodorants it isn't surprising you had a bad reaction. I was talking with the Mrs. just the other evening about finding a home made recipe and it looks like yours is just the ticket. Thanks for sharing this and now I will make sure the Mrs. gets a look at it as well.
Oh so true!! All those chemicals.. all those things and ingredients we have no clue what they really are?
What a brilliantly SIMPLE recipe!!!! Definitely think I will give this a go - but I will have to re-stock on some of my fav essential oils first!
It really is so simple... plus no irritations!! Which I love!
I think even I can do this one! Thanks for the "recipe"!
Great idea. I used to make salves and lotions, but it never occured to me I could make my own deodorant. Gotta try this some time
