I made this recipe and loved it - other than it kept melting :( I researched a little and found that beeswax (2 tbsp) will solidify it so it doesn't melt - its perfect now! Thank you!!!!
Hi there, I used your recipe to make my deodorant and it is marvelous. Here in New Zealand we are just coming into our summer season and it is blistering hot this year and my deodorant is awesome. Because I have menopause I used doTERRA's Peppermint, Lavender and Lemongrass. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome video. I make this pretty much the same. A great way to not have it melt is using cocoa butter or beeswax and less coconut oil. To kill any bacteria or fungus I add a few drops of thyme or rosemary oil.
Going to try this but I guess I will be keeping it in a jar, since coconut oil not in the refrigerator is always soft here in South Texas. Don't see why I couldn't keep it in the refrig in the deodorant container. Go on cool. Mary
Hi I am very new to making creams salves and deodorant. I am using your recipes. I have a question my Shea butter and coconut oil is both hard how do I measure so many tables spoons. Have you the recipe in ounces or grams so I can weigh the ingredients please. Or should I grate the Shea butter as it’s rock hard.
Arrowroot is pronounced Arrow-Root not Air-Root, for the record. I make my own deodorant and I love using Dragons Blood oil for the scent. It doesn't smell feminine and people love the way it smells. I use Soy Wax instead of bee's wax too. I am a vegan and I avoid using a bee based product. I don't use the arrowroot. Instead, I use Cornstarch. Another great thing to know is that if you make this ahead and chill it in the refrigerator overnight uncapped it firms up better without losing its scent. After that, it thickens the longer it sits capped, after having been made.
Hi Chazz, Nice to see your recipe here . Can you pls share your version of the deodrant. I am very fond of Dragon's blood EO . What a fragrance.. Looing fwd to your recipe thanks Chazz
@@shusha50 I am working toward creating them and selling them to those wishing to purchase it.

Hi I made this deodorant yesterday evening and this morning it is still runny. I left it in the refrigerator over night. I’ve just added a tablespoon of corn starch and melted another tablespoon of Shea butter and mixed it all together. It’s still very soft and oily. What do you suggest I do to make it more solid. My first attempt at this deodorant a while ago was perfectly fine. Help 😊
Do you find the oils stain your clothing? I want to make this, but wondered if the oils will stain the underarms of my shirts. Thanks for the great content!😊
I find the beauty of these DIY deodrants is that they don't stain clothes. Previously I had issues with with commercial non natural deodrants causing a lot of damage to clothes.
I haven’t made my own deodorant but I have just recently switched over to all natural ones. This was really cool. For some reason it’s a bit hard to hear you. I don’t know it’s just cause your soft spoken. I am really enjoying your videos. 😊
Hi, I have a question to the photosensitivity of all these products. I‘ve seen you use bergamot/lemon ect for a lot of different recipes (handsoap , deodorant, Parfüm ect) i always wonder if I would use these citrus oils in these mixtures, don’t I have to be super careful because of the sun? I’m pretty unsure about this and I want to try out so many of your things!
I have never had any issues but most citrus essential oils are photosensitive and should be used with caution if you apply it to skin that will be in direct sunlight. IF you are going to be using the recipes and then going to be out in the sun then you can make them without the citrus oils.
Hello there! I tried the same recipe and I really enjoyed the result at first. No body odor at all! My only concern is that I noticed my underarm darkened 2weeks after I used the homemade deodorant and its irritated and itchy. Is it because of the baking soda?
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you for your response. May I ask regarding your baking soda free deodorant, does it prevent body odor? I would really want to try it.
@@jhadeza I have been making my own as well and I have adjusted my bicarbonate soda according to my body and also add green clay which does the same as bicarbonate soda.
Hey Lydia I seen where you said you used tons of Lemongrass. I just wanted to let you know that Lemongrass has an unusually low dilution rate max of 0.7% so be careful to not go over that percentage of you do it can have several adverse reactions and the one that would suck the most (for me at least) is you could be sensitized by it and wouldn't be able to use it any more due to things like rashes and hives even if the oil is in a diffuser and not even on your skin. Not trying to be a Debbie downer or anything I just wanted you to know so you'll be able to enjoy Lemongrass in the future ;-). You can find that info on Robert Tisserand's website (he is the leader in essential oil safety). ☮❤😁
@@homoerotic85 Thank you so much about your concern. I really appreciate it. I didn't end up really using the deodorant I made. And it was diluted with the coconut oil and shea butter and other ingredients of the deodorant.
@@lydiajoystuart4082 Your welcome :) Why did you end up not using it? I have been wanting to make deodorant but I haven't got that far- mainly because I don't know if it will really work lol.
Jacqueline Steinhoff The arrow root will absorb the sweat, so even though it doesn’t cause your body to not produce sweat (which is not natural for our bodies) it will absorb the liquid.
Our Oily House Thank you :) I have tried natural deodorants containing bicarb and unfortunately they cause a rash. It does work great for other though :)
30balloon hello 30balloon I have made my own deodorant for over 5yrs and I use bentonite clay and zinc oxide to replace the bi-carb and arrow root. I hope this helps.
Thank you! Do you mean arrowroot powder? It is a Arrowroot powder, or flour it is an effective thickening agent used to add texture and structure in cooking and baking applications

murphy1384 I keep mine in the fridge!
I read thyme oil is literally antibacterial, they put it in lysterine. Ima use it in mine
I love lavender, vanilla, and geranium.
That sounds lovely! I'll have to try that next time.
I make my own deodorant but I don't use Shea butter and have been using just lavender for the essential oil. I will have to try your recipe! Thanks!
Cozy RV Cottage Sounds great!!
Seen most people worry about the baking soda...what can be used in place of the baking soda
I have a recipe without baking soda: ua-cam.com/video/5sZ9DeZ0poM/v-deo.html
This sounds great ….does it stain our garments by using the coconut oil…actually the biggest drawback concerning natural oils or just oil period
Would you mind if I use your recipes to make a small business for living? I'm trying to learn from you everything and I have passion for DIY products.
Ofcourse you can!

I always just estimate and it turns out. I will work on getting it in ounces next time. Thanks for the suggestion!
What could replace arrowroot powder ?
Also is there a way to add anti perspirant properties ?
Cornstarch
As always you have a recipe for my next DIY used lemon 🍋 lemongrass and vanilla

Can I use corn starch pouder instead of arrowroot pouder, because I can't find it in my country.
Hi Laura! I'm going to try making your deodorant recipe this weekend. Can i swap out baking soda and use witch hazel instead?
Hi I made this deodorant yesterday evening and this morning it is still runny. I left it in the refrigerator over night. I’ve just added a tablespoon of corn starch and melted another tablespoon of Shea butter and mixed it all together. It’s still very soft and oily.
What do you suggest I do to make it more solid. My first attempt at this deodorant a while ago was perfectly fine. Help 😊
I would maybe try adding more coconut oil because it becomes a solid when it is under 76 degrees.

Can i use fractionated coconut oil instead?
No because it won't solidify as well.

Would it still work, same effects, same feel with coco butter instead of shea butter?
Or even avocado butter? (Just trying to see if I can make it with what I have at home) *absolutely LOVE your videos by the way!
Thank you! I have not tried it any other way but I bet coco butter would work! I sub that in recipes that call for shea butter all the time.
Really enjoying your channel thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
Is this too oily for clothes? Have you had any issues with the oil getting on your shirts?
I haven't noticed any issues with that.
Great recipe, but the texture of the deodorant is not smooth and little granins ,there is some because of the baking soda.,, any advice?
Probably grainy from the shea butter
Good morning love your videos. Does baking soda have aluminum? Can I add magnesium oil?
Yes you can! I have a baking soda free recipe too: www.ouroilyhouse.com/homemade-deodorant-without-baking-soda/
@@ouroilyhouse thank you again. How much magnesium oil should I use?
Baking soda does not have aluminum in it. You may be thinking of baking powder. Many brands of baking powder do have a aluminum.
Would this recipe still work if you simply eliminated the baking soda? Or, would you need to add more of the arrowroot powder to compensate?
I have a recipe without baking soda on the channel if you prefer! ua-cam.com/video/Mmo1wFog_iU/v-deo.html
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you, but I really like the idea and texture of the stick. Any suggestions for alternatives - looking for sweat protection.
Any suggestions to make it an antiperspirant?
Jacqueline Steinhoff The arrow root will absorb the sweat, so even though it doesn’t cause your body to not produce sweat (which is not natural for our bodies) it will absorb the liquid.
Is there a difference between baking powder baking soda and washing soda
Yes they all have different compounds to them.
Hi..how long we can keep this deodorant?
It's good for one year.
What other oil would use with peppermint oil for a woman?
Michelle's Homemade I personally love any citrus oils with peppermint. Wild orange, lime, lemongrass, and lemon all smell great with peppermint.
Our Oily House thanks
If I don’t have arrowroot powder, could I use corn flour or corn starch? Thanks.
Yes you can. I've watched a few other similar videos. They use cornstarch.
Medo mag - thank you so much.

What size deodorant bottle
2.5 ounces I have the ones I use linked in the description box.
How do I store in a waste free so it doesn't need recycling.
Amazon has recyclable cardboard deoderant containers.
