DIY Aluminium Free Deodorant: Natural Homemade Deodorant

As part of changing my lifestyle to healthier one, I have decided to change my deodorant to an organic natural homemade deodorant. Today we will make a different kind of recipes; it is a beauty recipe. We will make an aluminium free Deodorant.

Why using organic homemade deodorant?

Commercial deodorant fill with a huge amount of chemical substances. These substances, like aluminium, parabens and others, are harmful to the human body. It may cause diseases like Alzheimer and breast cancer.

So, I decided to stay safe away from these things and make my own deodorant. The natural deodorant will not stop you from sweating, but it will control the sweating odor.

What ingredients do you need to make this natural deodorant?

I have tried to make the deodorant more than once by using the common ingredients for making deodorant. Finally, I have found the best formula for the natural homemade deodorant. Make sure you have the below ingredients in your kitchen.

• Shea butter
• Coconut oil
• Arrowroot starch
• Baking soda
• Essential oil

All the measurements are in the recipe box.

How to make a natural homemade deodorant?

• Then, in another small bowl, add shea butter and coconut oil.
• After that, add the small bowl inside the big bowl which has the boiling water in it.
• Make sure the boiling water surrounding the small one and not overflow it.
• After that, stir till the shea butter and the coconut oil melt.

Tips and suggestions for better aluminium free deodorant:

• Baking soda some time irritate the skin. So, I used only a very small amount of it in this recipe. That makes the natural homemade deodorant recipe suitable for any skin, even the sensitive.
• I have used 15 drop of lavender oil and 5 drops of tea tree oil in making this natural deodorant recipe.
• This natural deodorant tends to melt a little bit in hot weather. So, if you live in hot weather, keep it in a cool place or the refrigerator.
