This DIY deodorant is better than anything you can buy! 🤩<\/strong><\/p>\n

Say goodbye to chemicals & overspending on store brand deodorants – this homemade deodorant is easy to make, effective, lasts a long time, & is a much cheaper alternative to store-bought deodorants! It’s also great for men and <\/em>women!<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve been using the same tube I made LAST YEAR & I love it so much!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, if you’re looking for an all-natural remedy to use daily, this homemade natural deodorant recipe is the only thing you need in your life! 👏<\/p>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

I first want to preface this post by saying I’m not<\/em> <\/strong>someone who often enjoys or seeks out DIYs – I find them to be a hassle & oftentimes I feel like I’m spending more money in the short term on ingredients, materials, etc.<\/p>\n

\n

But just look at how much deodorant I still have since I made this recipe A YEAR AGO! 👆😱<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m so glad I made the plunge to try this DIY deodorant – I’ve used it almost every single day & I haven’t purchased a store-bought deodorant since! 😍<\/p>\n

It’s also effective, I stay fresh all day, & and it has saved me so much money! Best of all, I still have plenty of those ingredients I thought I overspent on last summer and they’re ready for me when I need another deodorant…which will <\/em>likely be a year from now!<\/em><\/p>\n

This DIY has been so rewarding so I hope you take the time to try it for yourself because I know you won’t regret it!<\/p>\n

Your skin is the largest and one of your most precious organs, so don’t put something on it that you wouldn’t want to be absorbed into your body.<\/p>\n

Plus, since breast cancer runs in my family and the link between cancer & aluminum in deodorant remains debatable, deodorants aren’t a product I’m willing to compromise on.<\/p>\n

\n

Fun Fact: <\/strong>Did you know that eating a good diet and replenishing with plenty of water can also help cut down on smelly body odor?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"woman<\/p>\n

That said, there are still times when I want to feel extra fresh and after hearing my good friend rave about her homemade natural deodorant (she tweaked Wellness Mama’s recipe<\/a>), I knew I needed to try it out! Which lead me here… because it’s truly amazing and I just had to share it with you all.<\/p>\n

The search is over, friends! <\/em>🤩🙌<\/p>\n

\n

Hip Tip: <\/strong>Before you switch to my all-natural deodorant, make sure to do this easy armpit detox<\/a> first so you’re starting fresh and smell even fresher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"ingredients<\/p>\n

\n

The ingredients are simple. All you need is some virgin coconut oil<\/a>, beeswax<\/a>, organic arrowroot powder<\/a>, baking soda<\/a>, & essential oils<\/a> (if desired).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now,<\/em> I know most people don’t have sticks of beeswax<\/a> laying around, but don’t let that scare you away from trying this recipe, friends! It’s cheap to buy on Amazon, ships in just a day or two (with your Prime Membership<\/a>), and you’ll get enough to make about 3 sticks of homemade natural deodorant so there’s plenty of bang for your buck if you need to order it as I did.<\/p>\n

That means you’ll be spending less than $1.99 per stick of homemade deodorant and at the rate I’m using mine, this pack of beeswax<\/a> will last you 6 years so that’s less than $1 a year you’ll spend on deodorant! 😱<\/p>\n

\"hand<\/a><\/p>\n

I know I said the essential oils are optional, but I highly recommend them. Not only will this give your homemade natural deodorant its unique & fresh fragrance, but it can also provide many benefits!<\/p>\n

I’m opting to use peppermint oil<\/a> in my recipe. It’s great for relieving anxiety, stress, headaches, muscle aches, and itching. Plus, it has an overall awakening sensation when applied to the skin because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties – a great way to start the day! It actually reminds me of the same sensation I get from the cooling lotion<\/a> or DIY bug spray<\/a> I recently made. Plus, it promotes good sleep, if you’re one to use deodorant before bed, too. 😉<\/p>\n
