Make Your Own Deodorant

October 05, 2017 by Jessi Culyer in DIY

The topic of antiperspirants is not a new one, but do you know why? 

With parabens being found in breast tumors, which is an ingredient in many deodorants, we need to be concerned. Then there is the topic of aluminum found in antiperspirants.

“Oestrogen is a well established influence in breast cancer and its action, dependent on intracellular receptors which function as ligand-activated zinc finger transcription factors, suggests one possible point of interference from aluminium.”
— https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16045991

I get it, we don't want to stink, but blocking our sweat glands may lead to problems down the road. One of our skin's main functions is to detoxify through sweat. We are meant to sweat.

"But then what do I use?" 

My mom has been making deodorant for months now, and I have been loving it! It's only recently that I started making it myself because I can buy essential oils from myself.

Here is my recipe for making your own deodorant!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of arrowroot powder (found in most grocery stores)
  • 1/4 cup of baking soda
  • 4 tablespoons of organic coconut oil, melted (I get a huge vat of it at Costco)
  • 12 drops of Peppermint 100% pure essential oil
  • 12 drops of Lavender 100 % pure essential oil

Stir to combine and use an old neck cream or night cream jar. Leftovers (and there will be plenty) can be put in a BPA-free plastic container or glass jar. 

It works and it will last for months.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Right?! Tag that friend! 🙌🏼
I had lost myself. I was miserable. When I learned about this opportunity at MOPS I had just completely broken down in tears. I was so miserable, so lost. That was 6 years ago.

God used this business to help me find myself. To help me realize who he created me to be. And now I get to give that gift to others.

Thank you, @rbonfran, for allowing me to be a part of your event giving back to middle school girls. What a perfect time to feed into them. Middle school is rough!

What are your strongest memories from middle school?

Mine: getting teased relentlessly by a boy about my armpits because I hadn’t started shaving yet...in front of my entire class.
When they are different than you, you are too blind to see that they want love too.

When it’s a picture on a website, they aren’t really real.

When it’s a donation to somewhere across the world, the need doesn’t seem so great.

When it’s poverty, it doesn’t sink in that these are people who want their basic needs met just like you.

When you hear special needs, you don’t realize what these mothers have to do to keep their children alive every single day.

Until you go. Then you understand.

And they keep a piece of your heart and you’re never the same.
