Easy Natural Deodorant That Actually Works
Instructions:
- In a double-boiler pot, melt the shea butter and coconut oil using a double-boiler method
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch and baking soda until smooth.
- Add the lime essential oil and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into a small jar or an empty deodorant container.
- Let it cool and solidify at room temperature or in the fridge.
How to Use
- Apply a small amount of the natural deodorant under each arm once or twice daily.
- A little goes a long way. Use just enough to lightly coat the skin.
- Store in a cool place. If it softens in warmer weather, simply pop it in the fridge for a few minutes.
Tips for Success
- If you experience any irritation from baking soda, cut the amount in half or substitute it with arrowroot powder.
- For a creamier consistency in cold weather, slightly increase the coconut oil.
The Detox Phase: What to Expect
If you’ve been using commercial antiperspirants, your body may take 1–3 weeks to adjust to a natural deodorant. During this time, you may notice:
- Increased sweating (normal as your pores unclog).
- Stronger odor at first (bacteria balancing out).
Tip: Stay consistent. This natural deodorant is worth it for the long-term health benefits.
