Hey I was wondering if it might be better to first mix the oils in with the coconut oil first, before mixing with the powders, for a more even mixture?
So it doesn't stain your clothes?
Is there an alternate ingredient? Bi carb gives me a rash. Or can I leave it out completely?
Yes, I have arrowroot starch. I was hoping you would use it. Also, if you use sodium bicarbonate, make sure it's aluminum free. But you can simply use Arrowroot starch by itself. It also works as a dry "shampoo". Since it absorbs oil.
hello....greeting from Indonesia here... I'm wondering if the product can be applied for us in this tropical country, we sweat more than people in Sweden of course🥵🤭😁...is there any ingredient should we add to prevent our sweats? thanks🙏🏼🥰
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup corn starch
4 tsp sodium bicarbonate
Thanks for taking notes!
@@gabriellahsdancingheart8808 I’ve done some research and experimentation with this recipe to make it less irritating. I add these ingredients: 1/4 cup cocoa butter, 1/4 cup zinc oxide, 2 Tbsp shae butter, and 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder. This makes a smooth white paste that is incredibly soothing.
Thank you!
Those are the ingredients of my struggle deodorant. Funny, i remember looking up how to make homeade deodorant like 7 years back and i couldn't find arrowroot powder so i used cornstarch instead.
thank you very much!!!
Arrowroot powder is actually a fantastic substitute for sodium bicarbonate, also. Sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda) has a much higher PH level compared to your skin, whereas arrowroot powder is much closer to your skin's PH, making you less likely to break out :)
Yessss. I follow an electric alkaline lifestyle and when he mentioned arrowroot as an option, I was excited to hear.
I've been using leftover hands sanitizer that was so abundant during covid. Just a little dab under each armpit works perfectly. Been found this for most of a year with no Pettibone at all. The alcohol kills the bacteria in your Pits that causes the odor!
I made some with baking soda, burned my skin badly. So arrowroot is much safer.
@@trelawishon6582 hand sanitizers contain an endocrine disruptor.
@trela It puzzles me that you would watch a video looking to make homemade deodorant and resort to sanitizer. I'm quite confused
I became an herbalist some years back taking classes on line. I make all my own medicine, soaps, salves, teas, shampoos, laundry soap and lip balm. It is great you are doing this.
Can I have some? 😂 But for real, I think I need to start making my own as well.
Any advice for a natural cure for anxiety/tension?
@@Pazaluz yes, weed
Please make a channel and share this valuable information!
I am an herbalist and have been for more than 40 years. Such a wonderful life. My Mom was also an herbalist; I was raised that way.
In August I began using one cotton ball of apple cider vinegar and it works amazingly. Haven’t needed to wear deodorant since then. I reapply typically after each shower and it has changed my life!
Just apple cider vinegar? This is amazing. I'll try it.
@@290revolver290 yessss it really works
The smell isn't too strong?
@@gabriellahsdancingheart8808 if you wait a sec before you put your shirt on, it’s totally fine. The only time it’s a bit strong is if you put it on, it’s still fresh and then you put your shirt on right away and it gets on the clothes lol
The scenes that went along with line “I’m not some kind of fairy” made me laugh so much 🤣
Haha 😂 Happy you liked it Zoë!
Me too! Lol
TLDR: 03:20
1) Coconut Oil
2) Bicarbonate (is this same as baking soda?)
3) Corn or Potato Starch
4) Fragrant Oils (optional)
I think the most important info that should have been here is why or how it works.
I presume the coconut oil is the crucial ingredient due to its antibacterial properties, but I can imagine it's going to be slimy and unpleasant under there...
Itchy is more likely to come from the baking soda (many people develop skin problems from the stuff when used on the skin), the corn starch is also used as babypowder alternative. I use just cornstarch and coconutoil (1 tsp each) + 2-3 drops good essential oil if you want a scent. Mash the first to together with a fork to a paste and then add the essential oil. No preservatives, so make a new batch every month.
I am heavy chested 😅 and so I used to use cornstarch under them to fight and absorb sweating. It gave me a yeast infection there every time. I tried multiple times because like you said, we put it on babies bottoms. I know I have bad reactions to cornstarch.
@@monarchkittyHave you tried arrowroot powder instead?
@@monarchkittyDon't use corn starch on babies. Use arrowroot powder
If you already have some coconut oil at home here is an other 3-ingredient recipe: Heat the coconut oil then mix it with beeswax and add a little lanolin. Experiment with the ratios (you need it to become spreadable when it cools down) and you will get a great shoewax/leather conditioner.
Add a few drops of tea Tree oil to this and your leather goods wont mold/mildew again.
Beeswax and lanolin also makes great earplugs.
Just be careful. Some people are allergic to lanolin.
@@katie7748some are also allergic to bicarb.....it's up to you to work this out for yourselves.
A few weeks ago, I made an easy toothpaste with coconut oil, baking soda and a small amount of salt. For flavor I used vanilla, cinnamon and clove essential oils.
I think baking soda and salt are abrasive
@@ZephiraBlanche They are both over the 70 abrasive score. Will eradicate your enamel.
Might as well get rid of the cloves oil and just used dried cloves, plus I’d add Turmeric powder instead of the salt and baking soda
@@graymadder4019 baking soda has an rda of 7. The max your teeth can handle is around 200
I use siwak/miswak stick, better than any toothpaste out there
I am so happy to have been recommended your channel by the algorithm. I very much agree with your lifestyle. No plastic, no harmful toxins. I thought I was alone with my esoterics. Thank you !
I've been using baking soda + coconut oil for months now. No extra ingredients, and it works amazing! Much better than any store bought ever did. It works so well and never stinks like after regular deodorant. Highly recommend. No third ingredient needed for me at least. Might be different for each individual, idk.
Do you have a recipe for this, like how much baking soda and how much coconut oil? Also how did you make it, did you melt the coconut oil and then add baking soda to it and let it harden?
@@trevajana Hi there! I just put a bit of coconut oil into a small container, and the pour in the baking soda a bit at a time, at room temperature, and squish it with my fingers, until it becomes the desired consistency for deodorant. I just add baking soda until it "feels" right. Like some paste that's a bit more solid than liquidy if that makes sense.
And when I want to use it, I just scoop up a bit with my finger and rub it on my armpit. You really don't need much, and it's easy to carry around in a little mini jar or something in this state.
@@barpoe thanks so much. I’ll try it out. Hope it works!
That's what I use, works well. Don't use every day as long as I shower and wash my underarms every day I don't need it. BTW coconut oil used as a personal lubricant not only lubricates but also deodorizes female genatilia. Removing off putting odors and tastes.
😮"deodorizes female genatalia" !!!!
Female genatalia is not that disgusting !!
In fact, we do not need take a shower each day.
BUT, we do need wash 2 parts of our body each day : under arms and the intime zone: water, or water +soap, or water + floral water like salvia for example.
And that's it.
I have been making this using arrowroot plus essential oils for years. I pack it into a couple of re-used stick deodorant containers and put them into the refrigerator for about an hour. Works beautifully! Only thing is, it will melt if I try to travel with it in hot weather. Though I haven’t tried it yet, I think some beeswax may be added to help with the melting factor.
Three ingredients, so simple. Your recipe sounds wonderful, Kalle. But the conversion to the American system doesn't quite translate. Why? Because most of our measurement units are based on 4, instead of in decimals. So when it comes to cooking (or making beauty products), we Americans think fractionally, rather than decimally. A cup is 8 ounces , but 2/10 of a cup of corn starch or 08/100 cup of baking soda is not quite in our vocabulary.
I think I can help you with the conversion.
Approximately:
almost 1/4 cup corn or potato starch or arrowroot
4 teaspoons baking soda (also known as bicarbonate of soda)
almost 1/4 cup coconut oil.
How I converted the ingredients: it's easier for me to think of 50 mL rather than 0.5dL because in Germany, my mother's homeland, they tend to use mL in their cookbooks, instead of dL. It's actually 60mL that =1/4 cup in the American system of measurements, so maybe we could say 1/4 cup, less 2 teaspoons for the cornstarch and the coconut oil? As for the baking soda, 5 mL = 1 teaspoon.
Thanks for sharing your recipe, Kalle. I look forward to trying it. :-)
Thank you so much for this! I was racking my brain trying to figure out the conversions lol
@@java3416 You're welcome. :-)
Thank you! Screenshot that and will be making!
Thanks so much! I am Canadian, so familiar with the metric system but we do use it for cooking. Like we drive in kilometers but measure our weight and height and cooking the same as Americans.
Thanks for simplifying the recipe..
Love making my own things like deodorant, soaps, lip balm, beard oil, candles and so much more. I use beeswax, coconut oil, Shea butter, arrowroot, Bentonite Clay and corn starch and pour it in a deodorant tube, I absolutely love it.
Sounds logically, don't put anything on your body that you cannot eat....
I'm going to make that my life quote as well. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏
I use salt stone! It’s awsome! And I’m a dude that used to wreak! It’s been years 2008
Say what the salt stone is Allum stone, you can grind it down into a powder. Girl you are smart. This is what I always use, it's the best. And the bees do not fly around me. Blessings to you from my heart
Do you use It as a sub for the bicarbonate? Or do you just add It to the rest? Would you mind sharing your recipe?
I made your recipe today, worked hard today and no stink! Woo hoo! I’ve been a natural deodorant consumer for 25 years (getting so expensive), but this is my first DIY DEO! I’m so excited it seems to work well! The next week will be the real test. I was just so excited I had to let you know. I really love yours and Christine’s channels! Blessings & Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
This is reassuring. I tried the crystal rock deodorant and I stunk so bad!
Does it still work?
Update?
I've never had good luck with this. I just end up stinking and the oil stains my shirts
@@MygirlsGJPByou should try the spray. If you use the Rock and didn’t wash your pits all the way bacteria will get on the stick and stink and it won’t work anymore gotta get a new stick. The spray is good for two days I used it in Jamaica on hot days I swam and went on a boat never smelled for two days
5 min after watching this, I was down in the kitchen making the recipe. I’ve heard bad things about deodorants (that you buy from the store) but never thought of making my own. Excited to see how it works on me. Tack för tips!! ⭐️
Yay 😍 Hope you will like it Sarah!
Shared! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I make mine with strong sage infusion and Natron. Bit I'll definitely try yours as well. 💚
Any update one month later?
@@kieran1518 for me it works really well!!
@ Good news! Thanks for the reply! I’ll be giving this a shot tomorrow. Christmas present to myself, saving money on deodorant 😂
I have made this and it's the only thing that works for me. Even Lume doesn't work as well as your recipe. Thank you a million for sharing this!
Yep cornstarch irritation is a thing as someone who is allergic to corn by ingestion I also have problem with long exposure on my skin. Arrowroot or tapioca starch are great alternatives
Most US cooks have Arrowroot to use to thicken gravies and sauces, It ends up clear and is also smoother and fewer lumps than wheat flour, which is the only flour most Americans use. Dozens of other types are available but the average get something on the table as fast as possible, person does not use them although many are on the shelf at the standard food store.
Love this! You're 100% right that we have to pay attention to what we're putting in and on our bodies. Store bought deodorant is so bad for you. We recently made deodorant but literally melted coconut oil and added lemongrass essential oil then froze it in a silicone mold. Put a wrapping around it and just apply the block directly to armpits. Absolutely love it. We also made all natural soaps too on our channel which was fun to do for the first time. Keep spreading the information and helping others 😊
That sounds like a good recipe as well 😀
Wow thanks. 💥🧡
Very much false. Not rooted in actual data but purely assumption. Show the chemical compounds and prove me wrong. Using actual facts please.
And trust me I’m aware of the current rebuttals around this already and they are completely false and misinformed by media.
Aren't essential oils terrible for you?
My deodorant is one ingredient, fresh lemon juice. I’ve been using it for 10 years, works great and simple.
Interesting!
I believe you but that still sounds illegal 🍋
I do the same! after using a lemon, usually after preparing a ginger lemon tea in the morning, I use the squeezed out lemon on my armpits. It neutralizes the bacteria.
Another similar alternative is apple cider vinegar. It just comes on a bit strong at the start and is not as pleaseantly smelling (which is not the point of applying lemon juice).
Or just slice a thin lemon slice and rub it.
@@momentsinthelight411 lol
Somebody can explain the proportions.
The perfectionist is sympathic but clumsy giving a recepie!!!!!
I loved the forest fairy clip! Tack så mycket for the translations in Swedish! I am currently learning the Swedish language and love learning the new words. So often "natural" deodorant recipes either don't work or are expensive to make, yours looks so wonderful I am going to make a batch today. Thank you always, much love to you and Christine!
Going to try today and come back in a week to tell my experience.
Thank you for sharing this, Kalle! So good to see you both thriving and discussing how everything, even the fabric next to our skin, affects our health. I've been using a version of this for years and finally don't stink. :)
4T baking soda
4T arrowroot
6T coconut oil
15 drops of Essential oil x 2 (eucaluptus or rosemary and orange are wonderful, as is lemongrass)
p.s. Just signed up! Thanks, Kalle! I've never heard of this service before and looks incredible!!!
I'm happy you liked it Emma 😊❤
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Aw, thank you for signing up as well 😍
Not even past the intro yet and I’ve just subscribed! Perfect. Although, collecting pine cones barefoot in the forest does sounds nice too 😆 even though you ain’t that.
Love your whole vibe! Can’t wait to hear more
I think we all need to go back to how it was back in the days when you did much more at home.
It can be small thing, like repairing a tool - Make your own handle for your axe that broke.
Thank you ! :)
Important stuff. We need to be closer to making and doing, and being more self-reliant.
I have a theory that it is wise for people to have these three things for future security: 1. A skill: like blacksmithing, sewing, knitting, woodworking, gardening, etc...any sort of ancient artisnal craft. 2. A trade: plumbing, electric, carpentry, lumbering, mechanic. 3. A degree: even just a basic degree in business or liberal arts. If one has these 3 things, even in a troubled economy they can find ways to earn income.
@@MrsScott-bx8sbwhat would you do with a liberal arts degree ?
My recipes is
6tbsp coconut oil
4tbsp baking soda
4tbsp of corn starch
It lasts a long time. I had some essential oil like peppermint, lavender or lemon something to give a little soft scent!
It works just as well as reg store bought.
I can't believe how easy this was to make and I really like how customizable it is. Thank you for sharing this 👏👏
We don't use decimal points in our cooking although I love the video the measurement that most people would use is 4 tbsp for your .2 cups & two tbsp - 1:45 spoon for the .08 cups
I am definitely going to try this out because I love anything coconut! Also, you can't beat Natural! Thanks so much!
I hope you will like it 😊❤
I use magnesium hydroxide over the bicarb. You just need the 1 ingredient but I usually make a cream by adding water. I sweat more than anyone I've met and not only will it prevent body odors, if you already stink, it will kill the funk. Seems to last for more than 24 hours as well.
Been using just coconut oil for years. Works amazing. No mixing no nonsense straight out of the jar. Also shaving is a must as hair wicks.
I’ve also been using just coconut oil for years.
-Straight out of the jar.
It works well for me too.
Doesn’t it stain your armpit in the shirt
@@heythere6983 not at all. It’s only a thin film.
@@jopo6388 coconut oil alone doesn't do anything to help with body odour. Average people could never use it alone
@@ArthurShelby-PB sure does for me. The other side is to eat healthy which the average person doesn’t do.
I did it on a whim and was so much easier than I thought it would be! It was messy but it seems to have worked so far.
Hi Kalle, I made you deo and it's amazing. Smells good, feels good, no stains and proven by a demanding two hour hike - it works as least as good as the Rexona deo I was using before. At a fracture of the cost and without all chemistry. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Hi Kalle. I just finished making this and used my favourite Pine Needle oil as a scent. It feels a bit odd when you first put it on but then it feels really nice. Also, as your arm pit is warm it warms the oil over time and increases the nice scent. Thank you so much for this amazing video.
I'm so happy you liked it Mark! Pine Needle smells really good 😊
Reminds me of Tommyboys pine scented air freshener lol
I make my own deodorant like this too only I don't need the starch (I don't sweat like most people though) however, I add powdered magnesium to help control the skin bacteria so I can use much less baking soda on my skin because of sensitivity. I also make our tooth paste with coconut fat and baking soda. When we brush our teeth, we can add a drop of peppermint or clove oil. I've not had any need for dental work since switching to this homemade tooth paste & my children have never had a cavity in their lives! They're both adults now 🥰 White coconut oil naturally kills bad bacteria that cause odor and can damage gums or teeth while leaving a protective layer in the mouth.
I put lime oil and Scotch in mine (Laphroaig and JW Black). Smells great and works better than my old gel deodorant! Thanks!
@Brian Fox I'm loving the idea of a Scotch-scented deo... Thanks for sharing that idea, that added bit of alcohol may help to kill bacteria as well. A Spiced Rum might be quite nice as well!
By Scotch you mean the actual alcoholic beverage? What is the purpose of the Scotch? Would you be willing to share your recipe?
Scotch has a manly woody scent & the alcohol sterilizes. Nice move
1, Cornstarch or potato starch (0,2 cups)
2. And Baking soda or as one poster said arrowroot powder which is softer and more delicate for your armpits (20mm or 0.08 cups or ⅕ or that cup)
3. mix powder
4, coconut oil (0,2 cups)
5. A few drops of avocado oil and
6, And a few drops of your favorite essential oil fragrance
7. Mix everything all up in jar it
Ingredients:
50gram Corn starch
20gram Bicarbonate
50gram Coconut oil
I have not worn any deodorant or antiperspirant in over 10years now. Even before then I wore it very infrequently as I was nursing my babies 🥰
I feel so much better for not feeling clogged up 😁
You probably smell rancid
@@arrashsheikh2967 🤣🤣
You are my guy! I love your no plastic rule
I like that you add the Swedish words for things. I get recipes, fun videos and a new language to learn all at once! 😁 Also thank you for sharing this video. I couldn't find it at first!
Hej Kalle and Christine just found you folks today. Im Irish and lived in Denmark 30 yrs, so I got into the ecological revolution there. Now Im back in Ireland living and a bit disappointed where I live that its not easy finding eco products, so every time Im back in dk, I stock up on eco deodorant and other things. Going to try your demo for deodorant as I have all the ingredients to hand. I agree when you say that you shouldn't butter stuff on your body you aren't prepared to eat first. Way back in my day, Im 63 now, there was talk that deodorants that stopped the body chemically from sweating had a link to breast cancer, so I have been wary ever since. Thank you for your time and energy on your beautiful video. I think if I was younger I would be coming to Sweden to live. But heh ho I am blessed, I love Ireland, so I am happy to be where I am right now.
I made your recipe with arrowroot. It works fantastically! I added a few drops of essential oil for a nice scent. I love it, thank you!
I make my own as well. I started with coconut oil but I have found out my husband seems to have a reaction to it so now I use grapeseed oil, which I also use in my salves. The nice thing about natural diy deodorant and other hygiene products there are different ways you can make them in accordance to one's body. It's great you have one that works for you. Oh, and I add I add Bergamot essential oil.
For anyone wanting to try it, know that you will stink for a couple of weeks wile your body detoxes from the commercial brands. My husband went through it and was amazed after some education about it. He's a believer now :)
You can use coconut oil as body cream and /or facial cream . Due to the anti inflammatory function you can also use it on oily skin. For dry skin add some other oils and /or essential oils like rose. I don't want anything else anymore and my skin is much better than 5 years ago
I have been using milk of magnesia for deodorant for years and it has been great, even takes away stink if I forgot to put it on and put it on later. It even took garbage stink off of my hands.
Just pour a little bit in my hand after shaking up the bottle and wipe it on my pits. About a quarter sized amount works for me. Cheap, easy, effective.
I don’t make my own deodorant but I stoped using the “normal” stuff you can get at the grocery store and opted for a vegan one. Almost instantly after starting to use the new one I noticed that I smelled less and also was sweating less because when you clog the sweat glands your body starts to overproduce to cleanse and compensate. It’s just like you said “the body needs to sweat”.
@@nabilblack Why did you feel the need to tell me to shower? Was there something unclear about my comment?
If it came across as if I don’t clean myself properly that’s incorrect. I was pointing out that “normal” deodorant causes a smell on me and vegan deodorant doesn’t.
As a fellow "svenska" learner i really love how all of a sudden this video became a swedish video lol. Det var jätte bra att upprepa orden med dig tack så mycket! :)
Your rationale for making the deodorant is what made me start making my own soap. Definitely going to try this!!!
I just use baking soda spreading it on my wet armpits, after shower and it works great, leaving my skin to sweat when needed. If your baking soda powder is not fine enough you have to use a grinder to refine it. Avoid using it if you have bruise because it hurts on open wounds, it"s a kind of salt afterall. It last all the day long even on hot summer...
Nice! I make my own deodorant too. Since a long time ago. I only use coconut oil and soda/bicarbonat. You don't really need the potato starch. It works fine without. :) Wish you the best out in the forest! I'm self-sufficient in the south of Sweden. :)
my mom makes us a natural substitute in Middle East, it consist of something called "Alum" a type of mineral similar to salt, then we also grind musk cubes and mix, after shower we apply this and smell so good all day
My stinky armpits thank you immensely 🙏 😂 actually though I'm so happy you're talking about this because not enough people are aware of the crap that's in our products and how horrible they really are. I've been hand making natural soaps for years and doing it yourself to share with other people is pretty special.
Haha you and your armpits are welcome 😂❤ Totally agree, that's why I wanted to share this!
I agree. A lot of people don't know which crap they use every day 😅
What's your process to make natural soaps?
@@Persuasion94 I use the cold process traditional method of saponifying natural oils with sodium hydroxide - how they used to do it back in the day!
@@gwendelyne I'll do some research, thank you 😁
Loved your sense of humor in your disclaimer.
Thank you for sharing this! I loved the “fairy bit” laughter brought tears to my eyes. ;) can’t wait for the next video!
Haha happy you liked it 😂🙈
First time on the channel, your accent is actually reminding me of old English or how English would have sounded a looooong time ago. I'm gonna try this
Awesome video! During corona i havent been using deodorant for over a year but like a week ago i finally got fed up with smelling like sweat sometimes, so I made a similar deodorant recipe and it works so well!
Also i started washing my hair with rye flour now for over a year, its a great schampoo and only one ingredient
So many companies are scamming us with unhealthy stuff we dont need..
I find using only hot water is enough to keep my hair clean.
.
Why rye flour specifically & what is it supposed to do? I do just a bit of black african soap 2 times a week.
50 ml corn starch (assuming 1:1 sub of arrowroot)
20 ml bicarbonate
50 ml coconut oil
essential oil of choice
consistency should be non-sticky and easy to shape
Tried this recipe and so far I'm really enjoying using it. Thank you for the information and amazing content! Keep up the amazing work! Best wishes you two.
I use a small piece of lemon ,rub it under my arms and it works. I use arrowroot in cooking. It takes the place of flour to bread my fish, also a thickening agent.
Thank you for sharing! 💚 Yes, it´s so important what we put in and on our body AND what is good for nature is good for our body too 💚
I hope you will like it 😊❤
Just wanted to say when crops are sprayed it doesn’t magically get up taken by the plant or pant systems and is normally safe. And they do extensive testing to make sure it is safe. Not to say it isn’t important but to say they know it is
Kalle, this was my favorite video of yours. I think you’d make a great host of cooking or other how-to videos. Very fun to watch you :) Also thank you for drawing attention to this area and for speaking out again at plastic.
Thank you so much for saying that Maria ❤
Ouuu! Amazing video! I love watching people from all around the World... and there life tricks... Thank you so much! Thousand kisses from Serbia!!
Okay so I watched this video and immediately tried this recipe and I want to start by saying I’m a big deodorant user and I always smell when I don’t use deodorant but oh my gosh this recipe works!!!! I literally smell like coconut all day which I love!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙌🏽🙏
I have tried this and I am amazed! No smell at all after a long busy day in the middle of the summer heat! I've been using deodorant in the last years and it didn't work properly, I still smelled, the only thing that worked before was antiperspirant but it contains aluminium salts and I knew is bad because after my mom got breast cancer, the doctors told her to never use anything on her armpits that contains aluminium salts so I stopped doing it too but the alcohol deodorant didn't help too much and in the past few months my lymphatic glands in the armpits area became inflamated and hurt so I was desperate to find something natural that works. I totally recommend you to try it! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much Kalle 🙏🏼
I've been using this deodorant for 1 year, since I saw your video, and I love it 😉 thanks!
That was a love look you gave her at the very end when she was laughing... That's the best. Wonderful!
Nothing like clean living! Thank you! 🥰
Happy you liked it 😊
Three ingredients needed:
1. coconut oil,
2. bicarbonate (baking soda)
3. corn or potato starch.
That was a really nice video! I loved how you also told us what the gadgets are called in swedish. I was gifted really nice essential oils and now I've got a reason to start using them. Thank you. ❤🙏
I do one part baking soda one part corn starch one part coconut oil. Easy. Add a couple drops of either rosemary oil( great scent killer) or sweet orange and clove…mmm.
Thanks Kalle for this great movie!! Love it! The second reason people can have a allergic reaction (rashes and itching in the armpiy) is because of the bicarbonate (baking soda). This balances out the ph level of your skin and for some people it creates a disbalance. Thats the reason of the rash. Do you know a recipe without baking soda? Love your content and keep up the good work!
Wow thank you, your comment touches a nerve. I have so many allergies i should be an alien. ( i would'nt mind an astronauts helmet) but deodorant is applied directly over our lymph node area ( please correct me if i'm not accurate). And if you read your harmless-looking D.O.from the supermarket it starts to look abit dark, abit worryimg.
The sheer amount of in gredients .make it look to me suspect anyway. As if thw chemicals are designed cancel each other out.? Dear fellow, i will now try natural home -made d.o's. Thumbs up !.😄🧡👍
You can just substitute with more starch. :)
You can use lemon juice
quick conversion
2.5 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Tbsp baking soda or arrowroot
2.5 Tbsp Coconut oil

Det är massa skräp och kemikalier i allt vi äter och använder på våran kropp så detta tips var bra. Tack
I buy exactly that kinda deodorant , it’s a Dutch company they deliver on bike which is possible here not in Sweden 😂but to make it yourself is much better and cheaper!! Love orange 🍊 scent. Definitely going to try this!! Tack så mycket!! 💚🌲❄️
Happy you also like the orange scent 😀 tack själv ❤
Can you tell me the name of that Dutch company? I'm very interested
Lekker! The Lekker company. Ook bij de Etos te koop 😉
@@alexandrabinot4246 ah ja, lekker uit een potje! Hoopte eigenlijk dat ze een ander zou noemen die ik nog niet ken, want tot nu toe nog niet de ideale natuurlijke deodorant kunnen vinden
Bij mijn dochter werkt nuud goed, ikzelf gebruik zo'n aluinsteen. Happy earth is ook plastic vrij (net als lekker, maar dan van kurk) en nu toevallig in de aanbieding. Je zou ook een combi kunnen proberen.
If like me 0.2 cups of anything doesn't mean much to you, use:
- about 3-1/3 tbsp of corn starch
- 4 tsp baking soda
- about 3-1/3 tbsp coconut oil
Did it work?
@@mariomatias1080 Yeah, does the job pretty good. Mine seems a bit oily as it separates when it sits for a day so maybe I need to add a bit more corn starch or baking powder.
THANK You!!!! Lol!!!
@@nakiazagorski5361 It's the little things in life 😁
Love this!
You are my deodorant fairy godfather! 😌
i love how you spell and speak the words in your language and in regular English so we can learn the language, learn the measurements and how to make the deodorant. Great video!
I use a salt stone for my "deo", now I don't have a smell at all.
My sister makes her own body products, just like Kalle here, and when she started to remove the toxic from her home, I could see the change on her and in her mood.
There is a company called salt & stone deodorant
Is that what you use or just a salt deodorant and where do you get ot?
Thanks😊
I would like to know it too :)
I use alum
@@mazie7952 No I use the "salt of the earth classic natural deodorant"
@@bjennaswan I use the "salt of the earth classic natural deodorant"
I'm African-American, female. I just use lemon juice and thats it. 😅
In a spray bottle.
It works and last 24 hours.
I tried various recipes for home made deodorant, but nothing has really worked for me so far. I will definitely try out your recipe to see, if this one could work and it would definitely be more convenient while living in my van :)
Did you try it ? How does it compare ? I'm new to making my own and I'm curious of what your review :) thnx
@@amandakait3885 Yes I did try it and smell wise it worked really great, but my body seems to not like the bicarbonate. After a few weeks of using the deodorant my armpits get very sore. I used it in a different recipe years ago too, but thought it was the essential oil that caused this. Maybe my skin is just very sensitive :)
@@johannahoff9185 thank you very much :) I also have sensitive skin, this information helps :) thank you
@@amandakait3885 you’re very welcome ☺️
@@johannahoff9185 hi what did you use as a alternative for the bicarbonate ? I find it gives me a rash
Here I am in Costa Rica, yard full of coconuts, giant jar of coconut oil in the fridge, and am constantly tending my pits, nothing really seems to work very well. Might even try this in the morning!
Made this and it worked well for the first couple of days. Since then, I put it on after my shower but around 6-8 hours later I can notice B.O. I've not been doing anything particularly arduous and it's not been that warm where I live. It's also been itching a bit when I put it on (that subsides later) and I think it's staining some shirts (and I've been waiting at least 20 minutes to put on a shirt), which I'm worried because, since it's not working so well, I've been adding a bit more of the deodorant than during the first days (about two-peas worth, now). Been using it for a couple of weeks and want to continue, but may need to refine the recipe. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Many people talk of detox after you stop using chemicals that you buy from the shelf. I've seen many comments just like yours. Give it a bit longer and see there is a difference 🤷.
I feel like I've tried every natural toothpaste and deodorant. The most recent works well and easy to make. It does require the purchase of a roller ball. I put a few drops of my favorite essential oil in the roller ball first, then fill with off brand milk of magnesia which is just magnesium hydroxide. Easy peasy, no staining. Lasts all day for me and I can get pretty stinky 😅
Did it itch the first 2 days? Perhaps it was swapped (if your targeted?), since it seemed fine for the first 2 days. Perhaps try making a fresh lot every day just before use?
3:18 recipe
Coconut oil, bicarbonate, corn/potatoe starch (or arrowroot for sensitive skin)
use lemon juice daily for armpits. just wipe it once a day. does not remove the odour but prevents it from emerging due to changed ph on skin.
A one ingredient deodorant is 1/2 lime. Squeeze just to brig juice to surface and glide under armpits. It works if you aren't too sensitive. Some are.
5:32:
0.2 cup cornstarch,
0.08 cup bicarbonate
0.2 coconut oil
I take 70% Isopropanol pure instead of Deodorant and it works perfectly. Sope, Whater, Towel, Alkohol. In the morning and in the evening.
Nice video Kalle. Enjoy your stay at the cabin. The smell of the woods is just heaven on earth.
I've had good success with making a deodorant of shea butter, coconut oil, zinc oxide powder, bentonite clay powder and beeswax pastilles. Plus some essential oils for scent. Easily made and healthy for the skin. I make extra when needed because it is very healing for a baby's skin - never a rash. Or any skin - hands during winter, for instance.
I’ve never felt a moose so I will take your word for it. Thanks for this awesome vid!
Best deodorant for armpits is just 60-70% alcohol. Should not be denatured but may contain d-limonene and other fragnances. I use this since the 2019 pandemic. It also dissolves the already generated smells. I would never put starch anywhere on my body and it's better to use acidic instead of caustic substances on skin.
I also added just some table salt and citric acid to increase bactericidal effect. Not too much salt because it crystallizes, smaller amount works really great. Works for 24 hours when not swating much and less when sweating heavily, in which case just reapply. Lately, I have experimented with adding some hydrogen peroxide, again not too much.
"If you can't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your body."
Those are very wise words.
Hi, for any skincare formulation, you should measure ingredients in gramms, should use therapeutic essential oils in 2-3% converted to gramms for your formula and not just for scent but for therapeutic properties. Adding essential oils in melted oil when its not hotter than 40 degrees Celsius. Should melt
hard oil for even distribution of other ingredients and packaging into containers while liquid.
