I like using organic skin care and body care products as much as possible. And as far as deodorants, the only natural one that seems to work consistantly is Aubreys. It's not organic though, but it's just alchole and essential oils basically.
So, I was wondering how difficult could it be just to mix my own. Has anyone done this? I was wondering what the best essential oils would be to use for a self mixed deodarant and other ingredient ideas. I'm not very familair with the different Essential Oils and which ones smell the nicest and have good qualities for sensitive skin areas etc. Thanks. |

Like this?
Deodorant Bar
1-1/2 oz beeswax
1/2 oz cocoa butter
1 oz coconut oil
10 drops rosewood essential oil
4 drops cypress essential oil
4 drops spanish sage essential oil
4 drops coriander essential oil
Melt beeswax and cocoa butter. Remove from heat and add coconut oil.
Stir until melted. Allow to cool but mixture should still be warm and pourable.
Add essential oils and pour into deodorant container |

Thanks yeah. That looks good.
I was hoping though not to need to buy a bunch of ingredients for it. Is it possible to do with just 1 or 2 essential oils? Very simple. I also wanted to make it a spray in a spray bottle to make it easier. What kind alcohol should be used? |

| I'm still researching - but, I do know you won't use alcohol, not the drug store variety anyway. Vodka is used in alot of DIY sprays. |

| I only use organic products. I have been very happy with Weleda's deodorant. It contains alcohol, but I believe that is actually beneficial in keeping bacterial growth in place. |
