Hurray, can’t wait to try this. For some reason, this year I have started to try to go sustainable?? I’ve been canning, freezing, making lavender cold processed bar soap, dishwasher detergent, and last but not least…laundry detergent. It has all been very successful, and I am having a blast doing it. I feel like as though I am doing something good for my family as well.
So now its onward an upward to replace my Smooth Powder, flawless touch Secret with Olay, ha.

I have been using this deodorant recipe for about a year now, and it’s awesome. Thank you so much for posting this.

I have substituted cedar essential oil for the tea tree, and it still works great. Also, I use extra virgin coconut oil since it has not been refined, bleached or deodorized. It adds a great smell to the deodorant. I store my deodorant in the fridge so it stays nice and hard.

None of the natural, health-food store type deodorants ever worked for me. I would stink after about two hours. This recipe works wonders!

This article is great. Fiancee uses baby powder right now because he can’t stand regular deodorants. It works some but still ends up stinky at end of the day.

I’m going to see if this works for him. He likes tea tree oil scent so hopefully it will. As for applying the powder easily- get a cheap fine weave sock and fill it up. Swing sock on area to be powdered and some will poof out. It’s the same as the chalk bag rock climbers use to keep their hands dry.

EVOO isn’t solid at room temperature. Crushed lavender would be fine if it didn’t irritate your skin.

Is there a way to substitute EVOO as the liquid agent and crushed lavender instead of lavender oil? If it is possible, would you still need the coconut oil? This recipe looks like a terrific substitute for the store-bought ones that sometimes do contain ingredients that are irritating to susceptible persons.

I have been sprinkling powder under my arms for some time now (bicarbonate of soda mixed with cornflour ((Australian names for baking soda and cornstarch)) and a little zinc powder) but I just could not convince my 14 yr old daughter to give it a go. I have managed to graduate her onto stick deodorant rather than spray…so this looks like a recipe that might actually work!! Thank you very much.

I just started using this two days ago and so far I don’t smell! This stuff is awesome and I will be making my deodorant from now on. Thanks!
By the way, baking soda doesn’t have aluminum in it. Baking powder does. Companies just use the confusion between baking soda and baking powder to market baking soda as “aluminum-free” so they can charge more for it.
