DIY Natural Deodorant
This zero-waste deodorant is honestly life-changing, I kid you not. No more body odour and best of all, no aerosols, packaging or nasty chemicals. It costs practically nothing to make and can be whipped up in 2 minutes flat. It really is that amazing.
Tried and tested in the Australian summer, it’s a winner and while you will still perspire, you will not smell. I learned the recipe when I attended the Earth Carers course and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Time to make: 2 mins
Ingredients | Method |
– 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil – 2 tablespoons Bicarbonate of Soda | 1. Use a spoon to mix equal quantities of coconut oil and bicarb into a paste. That’s it! |
Equipment | Notes |
– Spoon, mug – Clean jar or tin | * to use it as an underarm cream: place in a tin, tub or jar where you get dressed. * to use as a roll-on, just put the paste into a silicone mould and refrigerate for an hour or two. Remove from the mould and store the deo block in a tub/jar in the fridge. * You can add a few drops of tea-tree oil for extra odour protection. * NB – don’t use if you have an allergy to bicarb. |
