Are you ready to ditch commercial deodorants loaded with harsh chemicals? Making your own natural deodorant at home is simple and rewarding! Using high-quality ingredients like Refined Shea Butter and Coconut Oil from The Skin Science Company, plus carefully selected essential oils, you can craft a deodorant that soothes your skin while keeping odor at bay naturally.
Why Choose a DIY Natural Deodorant?
Many store-bought deodorants contain aluminum compounds, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can irritate sensitive underarms. Our DIY deodorant recipe avoids these chemicals by using natural, skin-friendly ingredients that:
-
Provide gentle, long-lasting odor protection
-
Moisturize and protect delicate skin with nourishing oils
-
Allow you to customize the scent with your favorite essential oils
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Refined Shea Butter
Our Refined Shea Butter creates a creamy, smooth base that deeply moisturizes underarm skin without clogging pores.
Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil naturally inhibits odor-causing bacteria thanks to its antibacterial properties, making it an ideal deodorant ingredient.
Arrowroot Powder (optional)
This powder helps absorb moisture, keeping underarms dry and comfortable without synthetic chemicals.
Baking Soda (optional)
Baking soda neutralizes odor but should be used sparingly for sensitive skin.
Essential Oils Blend

Lavender Essential Oil calms and soothes skin while providing a fresh floral scent.
