You could also use shea butter in place of the coconut oil, I found that coconut oil can clog pores however shea butter absorbs into the skin and is a 0 on the comedogenic scale meaning it doesn't clog pores also it doesn't have a high protein level so it doesn't not cause nut allergies! Hope this helps for anyone who doesn't like greasy coconut oil

I went Vegan in OCT 2013, then started eliminating chemicals from my home and personal products. Deodorant was the first thing to go and immediately after switching to an aluminum-free product, my breasts began emitting a very strong chemical smell! It lasted for about 2 weeks. I had built up 40 years of toxins, 25 of them as a smoker! I feel SO much better after quitting the cigarettes and eliminating chemicals. I think more clearly and am starting to reverse 40 years of damage.

I've made my own deodorant with coconut oil, baking soda, and cornstarch, and it works like a charm! Cornstarch and arrowroot are similar - moisture-absorbing agents. (I actually shake some cornstarch into my socks to reduce friction from moisture and prevent blisters.) In short, cornstarch is a good swap!

I am just so grateful that I learned from sites like yours and intuition how to take back control that I felt was stolen from me by the establishment. My homemade deodorant costs less and is more effective, and it's non-toxic.

And on another note, if we really put our minds to it, we can start growing our own food again. We don't have to put up with the way they poison our food supply, etc. No matter how big Goliath is, David can win.

I made this and I am a convert! Thanks so much for this recipe, it works so well!
I used cornstarch (because I had it at home and was eager to try it right after watching the video) and I used a couple of drops of tea tree oil for the scent and antibacterial properties and it works amazing for both me and my husband. I am always a bit weary when it comes to deodorant because I am prone to body odour if I'm not really careful (not all deodorant brands work for me for example), but this is great! It really works!

My Daughter has stage 4 breast cancer and she is only 30. For a year now I've been using this. Love it...I will try yours..thanks

Thanks for the great recipe! I made the deodorant yesterday and love it! I added about 5 drops of tea tree oil and about 5 drops of lavender oil. Smells great and the tree tea oil is is a natural germ and fungus fighter.

I made this and have been using it for a couple of days (including spending time out in the hot sun and SWEATING!) and it actually WORKS for me!! I used cornstarch because that's what I had at home. My roommate even smelled up close at the end of the day and said I didn't stink, so it's approved. Super easy to make, and how great would it be if I never have to buy deodorant again and can just whip it up from regular kitchen ingredients. I'm loving it

Ok folks, baking SODA does NOT contain aluminum. Some baking POWDERS do.

Recently I discovered that the Natural deodorant Crystal that I was using has Ammonium Alum in it, which is
Aluminum. Also Potassium Alum is Aluminum. I have decided to trash those & try something else. Thanks
so much for this recipe!

So when I first made this recipe, it started out fine.  No funk at all.  But after awhile, my armpits dried out to the point that my skin was burning, peeling, discolored and it hurt pretty badly.  So what I did was take what was left and instead of using it full strength, just took like 2 tablespoons of it as a base, then do 1/4 cup of coocnut oil, 2 tablespoons each of shea butter and cocoa butter and mixed together, adding some essential oil to it for scent.  This works for me, I think the baking soda was the culprit in making my armpits hurt.

I have been using this deodorant for the last two months now, and I LOVE IT!
I smell, feel and even look better( my arm pits are turning lighter and softer). I however use: 2 tsp of baking soda and arrowroot powder and 3 tsp of coconut oil.
I find that this does not burn( as it would for some people), and it is made just right. I have sensitive skin and have not yet experienced any problems with this, however i used to experience problems such as itching, soreness and also spots appearing when i would use the normal deodorants.
This is the best thing i have ever tried on my body.

I love arrowroot powder in body powders...so silky and when mixed with bentonite and herb powders it smells/feels amazing in the summer

I tried different deodorants but they didn't work, until I found the natural crystal stick. But for over a year, I've been just dapping some baking soda on underarms every morning. It works GREAT. Just baking soda ONLY, and it's already amazing.

[lisabae]

This recipe really works!!!! I've been using it for a week now and I love it. There's no odor coming out from my armpits 😍 I'm really happy, thank you so much for sharing this amazing natural dehodorant 🌱🌼💕🖒

What I used to make it:
🌼2 spoons of cocunut oil
🌼1 spoon of baking soda
🌼2 spoons of cornstarch

(I couldn't find the arrowroot starch, so instead I used cornstarch and it worked perfectly) Please try this 😄 You won't regret it.

I found this video about a year ago and I've been making and using my own deodorant ever since. I've never found another deodorant that works as well as this one. Excellent video!

[amichelle]

I've never used anti-perspirant deodorant (thanks to my mom) and I'm always on the hunt for a good, natural deodorant. I'm definitely trying this! thanks for sharing!!
