The fact that people take the time for comments about double boilers when you’re doing us ALL an incredible favor of sharing your recipe (and you don’t have to) its just absolutely mind blowing. Please people take the time to be kind. Thank you Ellen! You rock! May God Bless you and yours and thank you for sharing! ❤️
I'm sorry you feel the person who corrected her on the double boiler blew your mind. I do not feel the same and here is why. People, young and old, use UA-cam not only as a tutorial but to learn something new and something they want to know more about. Not everyone knows what a double boiler is and how a double boiler works. When creators are teaching how to do something such as a recipe, they also need to explain the equipment being used. She was not using a double boiler and yet she called it a double boiler. When you go on the idea no one knows or has ever seen the equipment being used in order to make a recipe, calling something a double boiler when it is not, is not being accountable for what they are teaching.
Made the baking soda version and it has passed the running and gym test for both my husband and me. Won’t be going back to store bought. Many thanks! ❤️
@@bittu545 I purchased empty twist-up tubes and filled them with the liquified product. I tried re-using an older tube, but it leaked. The new ones worked fine.
Now this comment is for those of us who actually do read the comments. Thank you for taking the time. I have learned so much from people like you who leave tips and suggestions. So here’s my two cents…. I have a formula that is (almost) exactly like Ellen’s. I made this deodorant a month ago, so I have had time to decide if it is worth making again. The answer, Yes! Yes it is!! Three things to note here. I had used an aluminum free deodorant for years that was free of parabens, dyes & talc and I thought I was using a natural deodorant. I was not. Three or four days after using this all natural deodorant, my armpits broke out. I went thru a detox period that lasted almost a week. (This was a good thing, so I continued). Read your labels and research the ingredients. I just did that with my old store bought stuff and 😵 Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate. It does not contain aluminum. Do not let the advertisers trick you into paying more for a product that states it is aluminum free. If cornstarch is all you have on hand, then use that. But after watching Ellen’s demonstration, (Thank you for that Ellen! I really appreciated seeing how arrowroot made such a difference.) I would recommend using the arrowroot powder. That will be my choice moving forward. Lastly, I will say that I would put this formula up against Lume. Yes, I can go several days without reapplying. It also works as well as any antiperspirant I have used. (I did make mine with baking soda.) I also used an organic coconut oil with the 76° melting point that works great. My deodorant did have a subtle coconut scent when applying it, but that dissipates later. In fact, there is no scent at all. And by no scent, I mean no odors at all! To say I am impressed with this formula would be an understatement. I will no longer pay $8 for an “Aluminum Free” deodorant nor will I pay $30 for a Natural deodorant. This formulation works great for pennie’s on the dollar.
Thanks for the video! I'll give making deodorant another try using your recipe/ instructions. Here's a tip for those solid oils that come in a gallon JUG: Once you melt it, pour it into an empty, clean gallon BUCKET...no need to remelt the whole thing when you need to use it again. ❤
I have been a native deoderant user for the past few years and have loved it but they don't ship to Canada anymore and I'm not spending $20 to buy it at my local pharmacy or grocers. I have been wanting to make natural deoderant for a LONG time. I am so excited that you have a recipe. I love your videos! You're so amazing and am a big fan. Thanks again
This is my second batch of deodorants. I’ve saved my husband’s finished deodorant dispensers and I’ve given a friend a travel size and a large size. She said it was one of the best birthday presents she ever got because it was so personal. I made my own labels with my label maker and she loved her name was on the label. She also enjoyed the fragrance. Thanks so much for sharing this. I don’t plan on ever buying deodorant again.
Wow, Ellen, thank you for sharing such wonderful recipe❤🙏. I have been making our deodorant, without baking soda, for some time now (the kind of creamy one that you have to use your finger to apply it on your armpit 🤷♀️) but I have been wanting to make the solid bar version, and I have looked at way so many recipes...😲 so your video has just come at just perfect timing. I buy coconut oil right from a family that live in the countryside, regular melting point I would say (I infuse it with sage for 40 days to make the deodorant) and since I don't have access to mango or shea butter I will try this recipe with tallow, using a little less amount than your recipe calls for 🤔... I think it will work just fine. I will share how it turns out. Btw, I still make your tallow balm recipe, I even make it using sheep tallow that I render and deodorize myself, and even though it's a long tiring process the wonderful ginal product is really worth all the hard work. Once again, thank you very much for everything! May the Lord continue to bless you and watch over you and your family. 🙏
Fabulous Video as always, Ruth❤️ Thank You for your generosity of spirit and kindness towards all of us. There’s a good reason you’re our favourite instructor of Natural Product creation.
Thank you so very much for this video. I had a batch that didn’t go so well, it was too soft, the amounts were wrong not of equal parts. So I re-did it using your formula and added more of the amounts that were too low. And thankfully I didn’t loose the whole batch. I’m very grateful I now have a recipe that works. 🙏🏻 God bless
i use powdered alum stone that’s been diluted with distilled water as deodorant, my father taught me this because that’s what he used when he was a teenager. it works wonderful 👍🏼 great video as usual Ellen!
Thank you always for supporting us soap makers in our journey! You are always so nice it is a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your advice ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏🥰
Thank you for sharing your recipe & your knowledge...I appreciate it. I think its great that you showed us all an alternative to a double boiler..... I'm all about options! Lol. Some people are just starting out trying to make things at home & don't want to buy anything new for it... unless they have to.
Hi Hellen. I was thinking that, if you use 76⁰ coconut oil, as the melting point is lower, it could work with a harder butter, like cocoa butter, and even use a slightly higher percentage of beeswax. I'm from Portugal, and in the area where I live, it's very hot in the summer, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a harder butter or a little more bee wax. Thanks for the video!
I just read that tea tree oil actually kills the germs in your armpits so I'm going to try that as well as another essential oil so it's not just tea tree. And see how that works
I tried making your recipe with slight modification of 7grams baking soda & 7 grams colloidal oatmeal. It turned out great except it was draggy when applying on armpit/skin or was pulling skin a bit when applying.
Yay I can't wait to make this. Pretty sure you can find 92° coconut oil at Walmart in the cooking section. I believe 16 oz is just under $15 in my area. I don't mind touching my own armpits so I'm going to pour mine into a pot and use 76°. You are such a wonderful inspiration to many of us.
@@laurathompson3040 - Add some liquid oil of choice ? Jojoba or Sweet Almond to loosen the mixture enough; adjust the beeswax percentage, or simply apply in the separate two directions of hair growth ; )). Play around until you strike that balance that suits Thyself 😊
" Thank you for pointing that out" !!! I almost fell outta my chair with laughter!!! Ellen you are the best with showing CLASS in response to all the haters! I always enjoy your videos! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
So true! I learn most of my DIY from you Ellen. Thank you for the inspiration and being a mentor in all aspect of being a lovely human!!!! You are doing great things!
My daughter is extremely sensitive to almost every type of deodorant she has tried and the one that she didn’t react to was discontinued. I am going to try and make her some 🤞🏼
this is great❤ I love to make natural deodorant! it's so much better for your skin! my daughter's friend has some type of allergy from store bought which I think is the aluminum that causes sebaceous cysts and she can't wait for me to make homemade for her! a few years ago I started getting sebaceous cysts under my chest goodies because of hormonal changes and what the doctor gave me for a while worked but stopped so I went to work on a homemade treatment and they were all gone in a couple of days!! homemade is such a great thing 😊
@@fionammorrison thank u lots cause that type of raw swollen pain becomes almost unbearable & pray u or anyone doesn't ever have to endure it! I haven't had another problem since with my own creation and my grand daughter had terrible diaper rash as a baby and also has eczema now at 5 like her mommy so I created a "Heal All" balm that knocks it out in one day!! if it wasn't for nature we'd both still be suffering... God bless!☺
@@Growing_Unapologetically I don't mind giving u the ingredients but it may take a while cause I've been moving things around so much my soaping notebooks have gotten misplaced. I'll holler at u when I find them !☺😳
Definitely get you some gallon buckets Mrs Ellen! I melt all the harder oils from Soaper’s Choice and put them buckets for the past 2 years. It’s only a pain waiting for the initial melt then smooth sailing from there! ❤️
I’mnot a medical professional but I think what causes odor is bacteria, so unless we’re able to control bacteria growth, we’ll be masking the odor but not preventing it or eliminating it. I wonder if using honey would do the trick, though it would probably make the bars sticky, so I don’t think just adding honey to these recipes would work, I think the recipes would have to be reformulated. I wonder if the baking soda has an anti-bacterial property… I do think it probably helps keeping the armpits free of stains, which is nice. Thank you for your video, I love your channel.
@@kristaransbottom6765 I didn’t know lavender had that property. I knew tea tree oil was good for keeping lice away but didn’t know it was antibacterial. The issue I would see with tea tree oil is dosage, I read somewhere it can be toxic if you use too much. Thank you for the info.
@@IndranieCarr I’d love to know, lol. That’s a great question for a doctor or nurse, a chemist or a biologist. But I think adding ingredients with antibacterial properties has to help.
I can't use anything with baking soda, but oddly we also found that recipes with kaolin clay ALSO irritated my skin. So if you have really sensitive skin (like me) stick with the arrowroot powder!
Thank you Ellen I enjoyed your video! I became a new subscriber after watching this video for 2 minutes. There is a lot of information on making your own products but I knew I found an expert with the exact information I've been seeking. I will watch your other videos but I am especially interested in making homemade soap.
I have made those deodorants, one with shea butter, let me give you a secret, they dont work for me, I still get smelly, but i have found out an ingredient that works.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I made deodorant paste for my family before and it worked really well. I want try making this next when I get back into making stuff from scratch.
Thank you for another great video, thank you for sharing! I was wondering since the 92 degree coconut oil creates a harder deodorant do you think it will also be good for solid lotion bars, balms and other products that “sweat”?
I just noticed....you wrote Sandalwood Essential Oil on the Lavender label. LOL! I do stuff like that all of the time. Glad I'm not alone! :D I will definitely be trying this recipe out. Also, if you melt your big bottle of coconut oil, you can transfer into a clean bucket for easier scooping! I save all of my buckets from WSP or where ever to do this. I've gotten coconut oil from Natures Garden that was in a jug & melted it, then poured into the old coconut bucket so it was labeled already.
Thabk you for all your wonderful videos!! Love this!! Do these help with the wetness as well as odor? I am trying to go natural vs. the commercial products.
I had very stinky armpits and when I started using a natural deodorant, it took me a few days to get it to work. You may have to go as long as a week or two to get your body to get acclimated to the new product. But it works and you are not exposed to poisons.
Hello! Love your videos. Any shipping recommendations especially now that it’s summertime? I’ve seen the thermal bubble roll, but haven’t used it myself just yet since my products were launched during fall/winter time.
thank you for sharing this video, very easy to understand and follow! Have you tried adding Magnesium powder for extra odor control? I am gonna experiment with adding a TB or so, see if it helps. We used to use Native deodorant which has Mag hydroxide in it.
Thank you so much Ellen for your unconditional help, I have a question, Can these go straight to the fridge or is it better to cook them off on a rack? Thank you again 😊

@lisajames4641 do you still like it? Does it help with the smell?

@@bittu545 I purchased empty twist-up tubes and filled them with the liquified product. I tried re-using an older tube, but it leaked. The new ones worked fine.

I’m glad to see it’s measured in weight, most online recipes use tablespoons instead of weight. Good recipe. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Also you can use tapioca instead of arrow root if you dont have kaolin or cornstarch
I haven’t tried it, I suggest a small test batch and see how you like it.

You can also try cosmetic grade baking soda- the grains are smaller so it may irritate your skin less.

Zinc Ricinoleate is what I add to my homemade deodorant. No arrowroot or bs needed.
Thanks I’ll try your recipe without the arrowroot.
I use this also! But have an issue with the recipe being a bit too firm for those that have armpit hair.
I find it a bit hard so I will decrease the beeswax and add a touch of oil. Otherwise I love it.

Thabk you for all your wonderful videos!! Love this!! Do these help with the wetness as well as odor? I am trying to go natural vs. the commercial products.
No, this won't stop the sweating, just the odor.
Never found a natural deodorant that worked, yet. Maybe I will try this.
I had very stinky armpits and when I started using a natural deodorant, it took me a few days to get it to work. You may have to go as long as a week or two to get your body to get acclimated to the new product. But it works and you are not exposed to poisons.
@@dottiemaesoapery9637 I even heard it might be necessary to detox your armpits for a while if you have been a longtime aluminum deodorant user
Hello! Love your videos. Any shipping recommendations especially now that it’s summertime? I’ve seen the thermal bubble roll, but haven’t used it myself just yet since my products were launched during fall/winter time.
Summer heat is always a shipping challenge... Bubble wrap does help.
thank you for sharing this video, very easy to understand and follow! Have you tried adding Magnesium powder for extra odor control? I am gonna experiment with adding a TB or so, see if it helps. We used to use Native deodorant which has Mag hydroxide in it.
I haven't made it with mag. yet, but I think it will be a wonderful addition.
Thank you
Thank you....I was wanting to know if it stains the clothes....as where I live its humid..
I have not had a staining issue.
Thank you so much Ellen for your unconditional help, I have a question, Can these go straight to the fridge or is it better to cook them off on a rack? Thank you again 😊
You can cool them in the fridge👍
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much, that was quick, thank you ☺️
Hi. Thank you for the recipes! For the first one should it be a combo of arrowroot and baking powder for a total of 14 grams?
I use 14 grams of each👍
