It's great for cutting the odor because of the ingredients I use to kill the bacteria that causes the odor. I hope you enjoy this, so go and make yourself a batch for yourself. It's a great natural deodorant alternative to store bought for the whole family, the recipe is below.

6 g Sweet Almond oil
4 g Castor oil
10 g Shea butter

Hey Mayfly! I LOVED this video! So nice of you to share your wisdom with us like this. I'm looking for a side hustle I can start at home and thought that natural deodorant could be the perfect thing. I'm worried about selling homemade deodorant online though, is it legal?
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
This recipe works. That is the most important issue. It keeps you dry and sweet smelling.
Amazing! Thanks sooo much :) love the cucumber smell idea!!!!!!
You are so welcome. ❤️
Thanks from Trinidad 🇹🇹 I will make my own,I'm purchasing the ingredients, stay safe.
Well I just tried this recipe, I did substitute activated charcoal in place of the zinc and I didn't have any Castro oil so I omitted it. I also put in a bit of vitamin e oil. I ended up using lavender and lemon grass as a scent but I don't love it. Next time I will use something that goes better with the cocoa butter as it has quite the scent on it's own. I haven't tried to turn up the tube yet to try this out but I did take some I spilled and give that a try. In other than not loving the scent it is wonderful. Thank you for the video.
Also I times the batch by 5 and got 6 1/2 tubes.
Revised, I have now been using this deodorant for 4 months and I love it! Everyone want some so I'm going to make it for sale. This is the best deodorant recipe I have found so far.
Thank you for sharing, I will try it.
Thank you so much for this information
thanks for sharing your recipe!😍👍
Thank you! I will try it
Thx so much for sharing this.
Aww, when you said, “I like to share” thank you
The printed recipe lists sweet almond oil 2 times - once 6 gm and then after the beeswax it is listed again for 15 gm.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing 🤩
Thank You so much!!!
thank you for the recipe
I will use titanium dioxide. It really kills odors better than zinc. I loved your video by the way. 😊
Thank you for sharing
Great video. I tried this recipe. It had a strong chocolate smell due to the cocoa butter. By any chance do you have the recipe in % I would like to make a larger quantity. thanks
Your The Best Thank You
Thank you so much 😊❤️🙏
Great Channel👍🏾
Curious if swapping in diatomaceous earth for the kaolin clay will be of comparable sweat absorption
Great video. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊. If I want to make a huge batch, should I just double or triple or quadruple the formula? 😮😊
Thank you 🙏
Hey! So I wanted to let you know that I made this, a little bit modified but it works awesome!! I was scared it wouldn't work as a lot of them don't but I will never go back to regular deodorant! I didn't use the cocoa butter, zinc oxide, or castor oil. I upped the shae butter since I didn't have cocoa butter, I didn't have zinc oxide so I added a little baking soda and upped the arrowrroot powder (the baking soda doesn't irritate my skin and I have very sensitive skin) I have never used castor oil so I thought vegetable glycerin may work for slip but it didn't that's the only thing that needed improvement in mine though it was still good. I also added extra bees wax -20 grams and it's good but could be harder I think but that may be because I didn't use cocoa butter. I ordered castor oil so I'm going to make more. But awesome recipe thanks for sharing!! I love that I can now make my own and it works... and I think it works better than my normal deodorant!!
Good to know it works. I don’t have zinc or arrowroot. Do you know if there is anything else I could use instead? I see that you suggested cornstarch in another post. Do you think that’s a reasonable substitute for arrowroot?
@@TriggaTreDay I have heard you can substitute those, if I were you I would use the cornstarch and add baking soda too. Some people say baking soda can be irritating, but I have extremely sensitive skin and it worked great. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
@@TriggaTreDay Yes, you can use corn starch.
Good job! 😊👍
😊
Hello, Does it end up smelling like Coconut because of the coconut oil or do the other ingredients help mask that smell?
Thank you
I wish to ask you if there's a rule for using zinic.
How to calculate it in to a recipe.
Thanks again. I’m From Canada. I have the same size container you had for the deodorant. It just made one in the future. I’ll double or triple that make a couple extras for some friends maybe😋🙏🏽❤️🩹🍀🖖🏼🕺🏽
🥰🤓📒🖊congrats
I did the recipe and then put it in the freezer and it looked strange but beautiful. Can I defrost it again or will the oils and powders be affected by that?
I just noticed you have sweet almond oil listed twice in your recipe, the second one should be 15 grams of arrowroot powder instead.
What would work instead of zinc... it’s the only thing I don’t have
You could use some baking soda, but I'd recommend only a few grams and top up the balance with more Kaolin clay. (2 g baking soda with 3 g Kaolin for total of 5 g instead of zinc oxide.)
Would this avoid the grittier consistency?
Wish I had seen this advice before making. Didn't have the zinc oxide so I substituted with baking soda. And used bentonite clay as I didn't have kaolin clay. It turned out okay, but I don't care for the wet, sticky feeling. What advice can you give to make it less sticky? Thanks in advance!
@@luvzaire2002 that's probably from shea butter, use mango butter intsead
Ahhh! I like that recipe!! So I have everything except the zinc. I'm okwith using baking powder could I use that and I seen in one of your comments you wouldn't do 5 grams so could I increase the Arrowroot powder so 2 grams baking soda and 3 extra grams of Arrowroot? Or should I use cornstarch instead of extra Arrowroot (I have seen that in recipes before)? The Arrowroot, baking soda, and cornstarch are the only powders I have. Thanks for your video!! You were talking about fragrance oils in this video, do you know if those are safe to use in a diffuser or only essential oils in a diffuser? Thanks bunches!!
Arrowroot > corn starch
good explaination dear ~@seribyummuhannan here
What if i dont want it to be a stick deo, i want it in liquid form?
15 g u have almond oil should be arrow root powder
Thank you so much for sharing. Is this an antiperspirant also ?
Sorry for not responding sooner, I've been recovering from a serious slip and fall accident that left me hospitalized for a month in late October. I've been recovering ever since. To answer your question, no this is not an antiperspirant but a deodorant. Antiperspirants clog the pores of the sweat glands which are meant to help remove toxins from your body. This deodorant helps eliminate the odor caused from sweating.
@@mayflylife Hope you feeling ok now.
@@annesworld4007 Thank you I am. Still not 100% but almost. ❤
avoid antiprespirants; they are full of chemicals and the armpit is very close to the breast so u dont want breast cancer eh!! if you sweat a lot then eat an alkaline diet ie 60% raw fruits n veggies 10% meat (no more) 25% starch and 5% other (oils or desserts etc). avoid dairy alcohol or sugar as much as possible and of course smokes/vapes/drugs etc. this will drastically reduce any body odor and sweat.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thank you for that Lauren.
How does the zinc oxide behave on the skin? I think it would show up white. Please advise. I've used zinc oxide sun screen, and it stays white on my face.
I experience some whitening, but not overwhelmingly so. You can cut back the amount of oxide if you’d prefer.
If you don't mind me asking... What is the brand of cucumber oil that you've used?
I don’t mind at all. Thank you for asking. I bought this particular cucumber fragrance from a Canadian supply company called New Directions Aromatics.
@@mayflylife I'm very excited I'm making your recipe today! Thank you!
Does adding arrow root powder make it gritty?
1234qwer Adding arrow root give a nice silky feel. I don’t find it gritty like the clay. ❤️
Do you have a version of a non stick deodorant? More of a paste ? Can I just skip the beeswax for that ?
You could probably not use the beeswax and it will come out as a paste instead, but if you find the consistency is too runny add a small amount of melted wax.
Can I use blackseed oil in my deodorant?
I cant seem to find zinc oxide anywhere do you mind sharing where you purchased your zinc oxide from?
amazon
Is there a difference in using kaolin clay or bentonite (sp) clay?
nop.
Add a tsp of water to a tsp of each clay in a separate dish- and you will see & feel the difference in absorbency & smoothness
I do not have zinc oxide, can I leave it out or use Bake Soda?
You can use baking soda or add equivalent amounts of Kaolin clay. It will change the end results a bit, but shouldn’t be hugely different. Play around with it and make it your own. 😊
Hi i have made about 15 of these for gifts i follow the recipe to the letter and did the mixing when the dry ingredient i ensured the ouls and butter are all melted however the powders are clumping as i pour them and not mixing in properly. I have mixed a lot do you know why this is plz
because her product also clumps. there is no way without chemical additives. you cant simply add dust material to oil and hope to completely dissolve. even zinc ox clumps in microscobic levels. that is why industrial products use aaalllllllll that chems.
can we use shea butter instead of coco butter
I'd imagine so, but cocoa butter is a bit more harder than shea which would contribute to the final viscosity of the deodorant.
Try a doing a 20-30g test batch to experiment
I accidentally used Bentonite clay instead of Kaolin clay. Will this cause a problem for my body?
Bentonite clay is a great detoxifier and it absorbs like crazy, which means it will soak up the sweat. It shouldn’t cause any issues, but could be a little abrasive for delicate pits.
Do any of these ingredients leave a white cast on the skin or clothes
Thanks.
Thank you for your comment. The zinc oxide, depending on how much you apply, can leave a white cast on your skin and around the pit area of clothes. If you want to eliminate the zinc, it can change the effectiveness of the deodorant, but that’s a personal decision. Cut back on the zinc oxide to around 2 g and add more kaolin clay, arrowroot powder or combination of the two. The whole idea is for you to play around with the ingredients to suit your needs and likes. 😊
This may be a dumb question, but it this deodorant suitable for men? Strength to minimize odor with moderate to extreme activity? Will it last 12 hours? 24 hours?
It’s not a dumb question at all. Yes, it’s made for men and women. Including a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil to the formula will help reduce the bacteria that causes the odour. It should last the day, but I’ve never tested it in extreme physical activities. The only thing you can do is test it by seeing how much activity it can handle. Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer on that.
Can I use hard beeswax, will it work out if I use any or there's special one for deodorant
Yes use beeswax, if you use any other wax it would change the hardness or softness in your recipe depending on which other wax you use.
Grace, I have been experimenting with various formulas- not hit it just right yet, but getting close. That being said- I make sure I am using a scale that measures very small amounts down to .1 grams and I really scale back the recipes so if I hate it, I have not wasted much. Most crafters make bigger batches bc they like their recipes, and many sell their creations. I am just creating for myself and close family members. So until I find my favorites- the smaller the better. Have fun. Many thx to the Mayfly.
@@mayflylife @Georgette Etourneaux Did you find a just-right recipe?
I am having a hard time finding info on subbing bentonite for the kaolin AND arrowroot, as I don't have either and have already spent a lot to get good ingredients.
Do I need to add more or less oil or wax when using bentonite in place of it? Also, do I just the same weight exactly of clay, or are it's absorption properties so much stronger that I should use less?
Also, I am using zinc ricinoleate and magnesium hydroxide as my active ingredients instead of zinc oxide (though I also have zinc oxide). After researching, it seems that it is the ricinoleate form of zinc that actually plays the better role in deodorizing more than the oxide, as that is more of a protector (sunscreen, rash cream, etc). But all of the recipes I am finding aren't listing an actual amount to use as they are from popular brands and sales.
@@georgetteetourneaux3350 Did you find a just right recipe yet?
@@annehill2474 Hi Anne, bentonite clay is heavier than the more gentle kaolin clay, I would probably use less bentonite as it sucks up moisture incredibly well. Your choice of zinc is excellent, I’d much rather use that than regular zinc oxide. I just didn’t have any on hand when I was making this recipe.
If you wanted to add arrowroot & dictenoumous clay to this recipe how much would you suggest one add
You can always replace the Kaolin clay or zinc oxide with either ingredient if you prefer not to use either one. Add the same gram amounts as the original recipe with your substitute ingredients, but results will not be the same. I hope this helps. 😊
Thank you

Hi ma’am, please can I add mica or dye to this?
If you want it, you can use mica, but it will probably stain your clothes. Dye will stain for sure.
Where do you buy the deodorant container?
You should be able to pick them up at any healthfood store. Check Dollar stores or order them from Amazon.
can i use vitamin e oil instead of castor oil?
Although vitamin E is an excellent ingredient with some similar properties as castor oil, vitamin E doesn’t provide the slip that castor oil does. If you want to experiment, give it a try. If you are happy with the results, great.
@@mayflylife thank-you.
what type of shea butter?
I used unrefined Shea butter, but whatever you have you can use.
What is the lifespan of this deodorant?
Thank you for your question. Should last 3 months if kept in a cool dark place.
@@mayflylife I did the recipe and then put it in the freezer and it looked strange but beautiful. Can I defrost it again or will the oils and powders be affected by that?
@@ythripatia4806 Freezing can cause some butters and oils to become grainy. Cocoa butter for example needs to be melted slowly and cooled quickly to prevent a grainy texture. It may turn out to be fine once thawed however.
I made this but didn’t have any zinc oxide so I added more arrowroot. I also don’t react well to soda. After purchasing a few ingredients from the health food store I didn’t have, and they don’t carry zinc oxide, I can honestly say this was a huge disappointment. I ended up having BO.
Sorry your experience was not well, however in order to make this particular deodorant you need to use the ingredients listed. Zinc Oxide can be purchased on Amazon or most soap supply companies online.
The non-nano zinc oxide is crucial the deodorant working properly....ie no body odor :)
@@mayflylife I have an Amazon order to send so I’m going to scrape all the deodorant (3 recipes) remedy them and add zinc oxide and a bit more oil to it. Hopefully it will come together.
