DIY Deodorant Roll On

The DIY deodorant roll on is finally getting added to the DIY deodorant page! This lovely smelling formula feels great on the skin! It leaves the underarms smelling fresh and feeling soft, dry, and silky smooth. And it does so without leaving any underarm residue behind.

Ingredients

The DIY deodorant roll on is prepared with a mixture of water, cornstarch, vitamin C, emulsifier, and essential oils.

1. Water

Distilled water is used as the initial solution for making this DIY deodorant roll on. Distilled water is processed in such a way that the contaminants are removed. So, it will help keep your bottle of deodorant nice and fresh.

2. Cornstarch

The cornstarch powder plays at least two roles in this bottle of DIY deodorant. First, it is the ideal pH for an underarm deodorant. Therefore, it can help restore the proper underarm pH and thereby hinder underarm odor. Secondly, it absorbs moisture. So, the cornstarch acts like an all-natural antiperspirant in this DIY deodorant roll on.

3. Vitamin C Powder

The vitamin C powder is a potent antioxidant with all sorts of skin care benefits and health benefits. You can use some of the extra vitamin C powder in a bottle of water each day. It can help improve the overall appearance of the skin and destroy bacteria. However, it’s primary role in this DIY deodorant roll on is to help preserve and prevent the cornstarch from caking. Therefore, citric acid is a good substitute for the vitamin c in the deodorant.

4. Emulsifier

The polysorbate 20 emulsifier is an emulsifier used in some foods and drinks. The emulsifier helps the water mix with oils in this DIY deodorant roll on. Without it, the oils will float to the top of the container. And then, even after shaking, the mixture will not provide an even blend of the ingredients.

5. Essential Oils

The essential oils that you use can vary to fit your preference. Some of the most popular essential oils for making DIY deodorants are (1) bergamot, (2) tea tree, (3) lemongrass, and (4) patchouli.

• Bergamot – The bergamot is a naturally sweet and aromatic essential oil that is often used in both men and women products. It is definitely pleasant enough to use in a deodorant all by itself. The tea tree, lemongrass, and patchouli provide very potent deodorizing aromas. As stronger smelling essential oils, they are almost always combined with much sweeter complimentary essential oils.
• Tea Tree– The tea tree essential oil mixes really well with lavender essential oil and citrusy essential oils like orange, or lemon.
• Lemongrass – This very powerful deodorizer can be softened into a really pleasant aroma with vanilla essential oil.
• Patchouli – The patchouli has an earthy and mostly masculine smell. Keep in mind that this oil ages like wine. The older the bottle of patchouli, the sweeter and more pleasant the depth of the aroma gets. So, if you land a brand-new bottle of patchouli essential oil, just let it sit somewhere and forget about it. Eventually it will start producing its pleasantly unique deep aroma. With all that said, women can add a small amount of the well-aged patchouli to their DIY deodorant roll on as well. This will make it a stronger smelling deodorant. The patchouli smells nice with vanilla essential oil as well.

DIY Deodorant Spray

This is a simple all-natural DIY deodorant spray that can be prepared with an earthy aroma or a sweet aroma. Or you can make it an earthy sweet aroma with a mixture of the essential oils. If this is your first time trying a DIY deodorant, you may really like the simplicity of making this one. Plus, you can add whatever essential oil fragrance combination that you like. The recipe is prepared for a small misting spray bottle. Therefore, it is not like using an aerosol spray deodorant. This DIY deodorant spray can be likened to a DIY deodorant roll on. So, let’s get to the ingredients.

Ingredients

The ingredients used to prepare this DIY deodorant spray includes water, vinegar, and essential oil that are beneficial for using underneath the arm.

1. Water

This DIY deodorant spray should be prepared with a distilled water. Tap water contains microbes that you do not want to introduce to your deodorant spray. On the other hand, distilled water has been processed to remove these microbes.

2. Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is the perfect underarm pH balancer. If using apple cider vinegar with mother, you can also counteract bacteria growth with the natural probiotics that it contains. Some people use the DIY deodorant spray with witch hazel. However, I prefer the smell of this DIY deodorant spray.

3. Essential Oil

According to one doctor of natural medicine, bergamot, tea tree, patchouli, and lemongrass are some of the best essential oils to use in a DIY deodorant.

• Bergamot – The smell of bergamot essential oil is wonderfully complex, citrusy, and refreshing. Therefore, it is one of the essential oils that can be easily used in a DIY deodorant spray all by itself.
• Tea Tree – By itself, tea tree essential oil has a medicinal smell. But when paired with another sweeter smelling essential oil, the combined smell becomes very pleasant. Lavender, lemon, and orange essential oil pairs well with the smell of tea tree essential oil. My favorite DIY armpit detox without clay is prepared with tea tree oil and lavender.
• Patchouli – The patchouli essential oil is a very fascinating essential oil. Like a fine wine, patchouli essential oil only gets better with age. Unaged patchouli smells just like furniture polish. But aged patchouli has a very wonderful, distinct, and unique aroma. The smell is mostly earthy and woody, but also noticeably sweet. With a powerfully deodorizing aroma, patchouli essential oil has a pleasant aroma that some may quickly grow to appreciate. The DIY Deodorant Cream is prepared with an aged patchouli.
• Lemongrass – The lemongrass essential oil is another one recommended by the doctor of natural medicine. Lemongrass is another one of my favorite essential oils. It too has a strong earthy smell. It pairs well with sweet smelling essential oils. The DIY Deodorant Stick is prepared with lemongrass and other essential oils.

DIY Deodorant Spray:

• 2.7 oz. Spray Bottle
• 10 tsp. Distilled Water
• 2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar (With Mother)
• 1/8 tsp. Tea Tree Essential Oil
• 1/4 tsp. Lemon Essential Oil
• 1/4 tsp. Orange Essential Oil

Preparation

1. Use a small funnel to place the water, vinegar, juniper berry, lemon, and orange essential oils in a small clean spray bottle.
2. If you do not have a small funnel, you can add the ingredients to a large measuring cup with an easy pour spout.
3. Once the ingredients are in the bottle, screw the lid on the bottle well and then give it a few shakes.
4. Then the DIY deodorant spray is ready for use.

In Summary

Even the store-bought deodorants are sometimes a trial and error until you find one that works. You may also like another type of the DIY deodorants or one of the DIY Armpit Detox combinations. The DIY deodorant spray is very simple to prepare and easy to use.

DIY Deodorant Cream

This DIY deodorant cream is a lovely DIY deodorant recipe. It is perfect for placing in a small jar to apply with your fingertips or scoop with a small spatula. The texture is rich and creamy. And, as a result, this wonderful smelling DIY deodorant cream goes on smoothly and easily at normal room temperatures. It can be easily applied under your armpits without any effort. In this way, it stays on your skin well helping to keep your underarms dry and fresh.

Ingredients

The all natural ingredients use to make this DIY deodorant cream includes coconut oil, beeswax, mango butter, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and essential oils. So, let’s talk about these all natural ingredients used to make the DIY deodorant cream.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of my absolute favorite ingredients to use in skincare recipes! It is a highly penetrating oil with antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties to mention just a few. So the coconut oil used in this DIY deodorant cream definitely helps with any odor control coming directly from your sweat glands. And it also helps to mitigate odor causing bacteria growth once it reaches the skin surface. A refined organic coconut oil is recommended for this sweet and earthy smelling DIY deodorant cream because it does not have a coconut smell.

Beeswax

Beeswax is a type of occlusive moisturizer. Therefore, it helps to reduce underarm moisture caused by sweating. It is an all natural wax that comes from the beehives. So the beeswax makes this DIY deodorant cream an antiperspirant.

Mango Butter

Mango butter is a hard butter that looks and can be used very similar to cocoa butter. It is a mostly solid butter. However, it does melt when it applied to the warm skin. A refined scent free mango butter is used and recommended for this DIY deodorant cream to help you make the fragrance that you want without any interfering aromas.

Baking Soda

The baking soda is a pH balancer that is used for odor control in this DIY deodorant cream. As a pH balancer, it can slow or retard the growth of odor causing bacteria. So, it is a odor neutralizer, not a deodorizer. But, in this way, the pleasant smell of fragrant essentials can prevail. And as a result, it greatly reduces the risk of having any unpleasant odors coming from underneath the arm.

Arrowroot Powder

Arrowroot powder is a thickening agent. However, it can be used in the DIY deodorant cream to absorb moisture and toxins from the skin as well. This ingredient can be substituted if needed for another starchy thickening agent like cornstarch.

Essential Oils

This DIY deodorant cream is made with patchouli essential oil and vanilla essential oil. Both have their own unique beneficial properties. Patchouli essential oil* has a very earthy, yet sweet and spicy fragrant aroma when it has aged well. On the other hand, vanilla essential oil starts out with a pleasantly sweet aroma. So, these two oils are paired together to give this DIY deodorant cream a lovely aroma.

*This oil is sold at all stages of aging. The aged patchouli smells earthy with a hint of sweetness. Unaged patchouli will need to sit on the shelf to mature.

DIY Deodorant Cream Recipe:

• 1 Jar With Lid (1 oz.)
• 1 tbsp. Refined Coconut Oil
• 0.5 tbsp. Beeswax Pellets
• 1 tsp. Refined Unscented Mango Butter
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1 tbsp. Arrowroot Powder (or Cornstarch)
• 1/4 tsp. Patchouli Essential Oil
• 1/8 tsp. Vanilla Essential Oil

1. Place the coconut oil, beeswax pellets, and mango butter in a microwave safe glass cup with a handle.
2. Microwave in 30 second increments until the mango butter and beeswax melts completely. Stir the wax, oil, and butter at each 30 second interval.
3. Now you can add the patchouli essential oil and vanilla essential oil to the mix to finish making the fragrance for this DIY deodorant cream.
4. Lastly, add the baking soda and arrowroot powder to the container with the oils. Stir the mixture really well to get rid of any small powdery lumps. Then pour the deodorant cream into a small shallow jar.
5. Let the DIY deodorant cream cool and then it is ready to use!
