- Homemade deodorants don’t have the best reputation - and for good reason! I researched several DIY deodorant recipes, and even tried a few including “how to make natural deodorant that works - 3 ingredients” spoiler alert: it didn’t work. But with increasing concern over some of the ingredients used in cosmetics and several studies suggesting a link between risk of breast cancer and aluminium deodorants - I wanted to seriously look into finding an alternative to deodorant and provide a fair natural deodorant review.

Just to be clear, I know there is a difference between homemade natural deodorant and homemade antiperspirant - but who in there right mind wants a natural deodorant that doesn’t work as an antiperspirant?! I’m judging this bentonite clay natural deodorant DIY on both it’s ability to fight against odour and absorb moisture.
For this Natural Deodorant Review I focused on 4 areas: “Assembly” covers the process of how to make homemade deodorant, “Application” refers to how easy it is to apply, “Cost” examines how expensive a DIY Deodorant Stick can be, and finally “Effectiveness” is the overall natural deodorant review to see how well it actually works.
My DIY Try It or Buy It Series aims to put natural DIY and homemade beauty recipes to the test to see if any of them actually work! You can check out my first review of Flaxseed Hair Gel here:

How to make homemade deodorant without baking soda
Modified Recipe:
• 1 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons Beeswax (for vegan version use Candelilla Wax)
• 2 tablespoons Shea Butter
• 2 tablespoons Bentonite Clay
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot Powder
• 20 drops essential oil(s) of choice
The original recipe doesn’t make a vegan deodorant and also includes baking soda that is a known irritant and can be harsh on sensitive skin.
How to make natural Deodorant:
• 4 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons Beeswax (substitute as above for vegan deodorant)
• 2 tablespoons Shea Butter
• 2 tablespoons Bentonite Clay
• 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
• 25 drops of Essential Oil(s)
I decided to try a homemade natural deodorant with bentonite clay recipe because bentonite clay deodorant are amazing at detoxifying your armpits. I tried to reduce the number of ingredients without sacrificing it’s effectiveness in order to make this DIY deodorant as easy to make as possible. Below are some of the benefits of making your own homemade natural deodorant:
Coconut Oil is antibacterial as well as antifungal, it’s usually a crucial ingredient in any DIY deodorant recipe as it also helps the deodorant to glide on easily and absorb into your skin.
Shea Butter is makes natural deodorants incredibly moisturizing which is usually pretty rare for conventional deodorants!
Baking soda helps to absorb moisture and eliminates odours. In my modified homemade deodorant recipe I left out the baking soda because it made the texture extremely gritty. Baking soda also can irritate sensitive skin. In order to do a fair natural deodorant review, I tried both recipes with and without baking soda and didn’t notice any difference in regards to how well the natural deodorant works so I would leave it out!
Beeswax can be easily substituted for Candellia to make this natural deodorant recipe completely vegan. Wax helps to make DIY deodorants solid so I would encourage leaving it in. Watch my full natural deodorant review for more on this!
Arrowroot powder helps the homemade deodorant wick away moisture and keep the skin dry.
Bentonite clay deodorants or any homemade deodorant with bentonite clay in addition to detoxifying, also absorbs excess moisture and eliminate odour.
Essential oils have different benefits depending on which one you choose, but they will all provide a pleasant fragrance to any natural deodorant recipe.

Would you try a natural deodorant?? Hopefully my homemade deodorant review helps 😉
Yes. This is the video I needed to see. It goes more into depth about how this type of natural deodorant really is. Thanks for making this. I'm gonna try the natural deodorant, but I'll modify the recipe because what you said makes sense.
@@jaswutucookin Aww thank you! It's amazing that you can actually make a natural deodorant at home but it's best if you know what to expect beforehand, I'm so glad this helps 😊💚
Thanks for sharing this awesome DIY natural deodorant with us but, can the coconut oil be substituted with another oil, if so, what other oil do you suggest?
Saaaaame !!!
Thank you so much for this info!! Natural deordorant sounds good but it doesn't seem practical. I'm wondering if it is better to just use some kind of spray or powder.
Tips- Instead of shea butter use cocoa butter, this will make it stiffer. Instead of arrowroot use kaolin clay to soak up sweat and gather toxins. Instead of coconut oil which is highly comedogenic use jojoba,hemp,rice,avocado or olive oil. Lime and bergamont essential oil is the best oils for deodorant. For those who deal with breast cancer or hormone issues or auto immune disease this recipe is much better and safer. As your body detox you will need to use it twice a day for 1 month to get use to it. Then after a while you will barely need deodorant. Although diet does play a part in your smell
so true
Thank you!
Thank you
If we substitute for these ingredients, do we use the same amounts? Tia!
@@lanazalt2941 you can use the same amount.
I don't understand why you don't have more views, your video has a great quality :)
Aww thank you! My channel's still pretty small but I love making videos 😅💚
I'm always here to here.
Ikr!!! 😤
😆 this comment today
I just binge watched a whole bunch of your videos! Great quality, informational, and stylish! I love every single one of your outfits!
Sameeee!!!!
Thanks ALOT,, ive realised that store bought deodorant never satisfied me. Iam definitely gonna try this soon!! Again,,, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Very generous of you!
It took a couple weeks for my body to adjust to my diy deodorant. I even use baking soda in mine and noticed a smell after 4-6 hours. Now that my body has adapted to this type of deo, I can’t go back to commercial brands.
Ive experimented with some different ingredients that make a nice solid stick with smooth flow. Cetyl alcohol and a small amount of castor oil were two awesome ingredients to add for conditioning. I don’t use any butters in mine currently. 28% beeswax keeps them solid where I live, even though almost half the recipe is coconut oil. Warmer climates may want to increase that a bit.
I like bentonite clay for what it does, but I have the same complaint as you- the graininess.
I'm glad you shared this and most specifically you mentioned conditioning which don't get brought up alot but I think it's a very important step immediately after the shower I apply what I consider to be a moisturizer for my underarm before applying my diy natural deodorant it has helped my skin underarm to less irritated and transition smoothly into natural deodorant
I do make my own, and i do use my fingers to apply the amount i choose!
I'm sure you have figured it out by now but just in case I find it best to buy my wax in pellets or flakes. If that's not possible and you have a bar then grating it is the best way so you don't have to heat for too long. Love love love your videos
I am glad mention about the clay, that you can't use metal equipment. I like watching your channel and I like if you mention some of the equipment you can use and can't use that will be great. We'll done, you are great of explaining everything. Thank u.
This is the first video I’m watching and at one point I’m just looking at how beautiful you are and completely stopped listening 🤣 I went back and listened, very thoroughly done, thank you for the honest review!
Really smart how you deliver the content.. thank you.
New sub! You are amazing I’m just mind blown! Thanks for teaching
This is a great video. If you don't want to make it yourself, Kreepi Tiki Ethnobotanicals makes a fantastic one that has similar ingredients. It seriously has a cult following. It's called pit paste. And the smaller jar lasts well over a month. It's for both male, female too. The scents are amazing too.
Thank you so much!!!! This is more helpful than I can say! Subscribed!
I just tried it, it actually works, thank you thank you 🙏😊
LOVE your channel and your creative recepies 🫶🏽
Do more of these!!! Love them!
Part of your grittiness may be due to overheating the shea butter. You need to melt all your ingredients, then remove from heat and add Shea butter, stir until incorporated.
also, little tip.
im no pro, but grating beeswax or buying it grated makes it melt a lot better!
I have made like 4 of your recipes. Shampoo and conditioner is next. Thank you!!
I do really love your videos it's I love the quality in them my favorites you are the best thanks
Betonite clay can not dry-out It must be wet at all times. The benefits Are this won’t cause you cancer or swelled lymph nodes. Or it would be a problem if it gets dry.
Great review. But we all just got used to the store bought things And those things are the reason all of us are looking for a natural solution. I have seen it being made in a crock pot. And it did work better. But the clays purpose is to draw out toxins.I had better success with olive oil. Like you I have had some good success. And it’s not like the store bought kind. But for me The benefits out weigh the cancers they cause. As my mother died from 4th stage Breast cancer And she used talc for over 60 yrs that I knew of. Now we know that was a cancer causing substance.
Good luck Keep trying Just remember show your success if you find a way !
Thanks so much it was a great video.😊
Can you use tapioca starch in place of arrow root powder? It's what I have on hand and want to avoid the baking soda or buying another ingredient.
I have made and used home.ade deoderant before and it works great BUT I believe it did stain my shirts. I had on black long sleeved and a light colored t-shirt over it( it was winter afterall) and thw black seeped through onto the white shirt. Totally ruined my looney tunes t-shirt (utterly upsetting😤) I do agree that it was probably the coconut oil that caused this. Plan on trying this without the coconut oil and just using butter (shea and mango) hopefully that will help. We shall see. Summer is here and it definitely won't take long to see how that would affect clothing and whether or not I get stinky.
I am so glad that I found this video. Tried it and love it.
I am definitely trying this!
Thanks Hun haha let me know how it goes, love your channel too 💚
WholeElise thank you!
I can't use baking soda natural deodorants it irritates my skin can I just add more arrowroot powder or can I replace it with cornstarch or something else I made myself a bentonite clay deodorant because the regular deodorants don't work and none of the natural deodorants work for me either including native which is really expensive and I used cornstarch air root and bentonite clay so it seems to work okay but I don't know if that makes a difference
Can you tell me the shelf life please? And kept on shelf or refregirated??
&thanks for video dear♥️😘
I get wax pellets instead of chunks... my local beekeeper sells it in both. Also most of the natural deodorants are that consistency.
That's great, pellets are much more convenient! This was my first time trying natural deodorants so it was quite a shock from traditional ones but I've continued to experiment and found recipes that work better for me. Thanks Natasha 😊💚
Did you ever find a good natural deodorant/antiperspirant? I am on the hunt. I just made one with a zinc oxide recipe through "Simply Earth," and although I am new to SE and EOs. I love them both buuut.... The deodorant I made has its issues... so I'm looking for a better recipe. Any tips or ideas?
My fav store-bought deodorant had neem oil, so I want to add in a little neem oil..should I use it sparingly as an essential oil in this deodorant recipe
Hi there! Do you remember where you purchased the containers?
@wholeelise is there a specific way to formulate deodorant?
we did one that has a tiny pinch of shea butter tiny pinch of mango butter and then cornstarch bees wax coconut oil zinc oxide EO, and kaolin clay and it was soild and smooth not gritty or greasy
You can grate the wax from a big chunk
Have you tried using a grater, like a cheese grater, to shave the wax or other products?
Where can i find the process video? I can't find 😔
Thankyou so much😘😘😘
If I don't have arrowroot powder can I use just the bentonite clay alone with the oils and butters🤔
Can u use a preservative?
Is it possible to use corn starch powder, clay powder, alternative powder, soil powder and bentonite clay … I am following your site for hair and skin. Please write this recipe on the site and everything that is on CZcams.
I need to buy this one please
Dear friend, it seems great but woul you write the needed amount of the materials? Thanke you
Where do you get your clay from??
It’s actually much cheaper in the long run and better For the planet to make ur own. You might spend a lot at first especially if ur not already making your own natural products but you will have enough ingredients to make it for a long time.
It is cheaper if you are making for a whole family. And you don’t want cancers
How can help me to get this i need more please let me know
*Much Appreciated KudOsW...* 😊❤❤❤
Using fingers to apply underarms is no different from using fingers to apply anywhere else on your body. Thanks for the video though, it gives food for thought.
Can you use soy wax instead of bees wax to make it a vegan product ?
Great tip for chopping up the beeswax. Freeze it first, then place it in an old pillowcase or Tshirt and smash it with a hammer. Works like a charm.
Hi did you try any more deodorants
can turmeric be added to lighten the skin under my arms
Turmeric's a great ingredient to add! It has been shown to lighten scars or areas of hyperpigmentation but I would recommend adding it to a mask rather than a deodorant. Turmeric stains EVERYTHING lol, so it will likely end up transferring on to your clothes. A lot of store bought turmeric powders aren't fine enough to blend smoothly into a product it might also give a kind of "grainy" texture to the deodorant. I'd recommend trying out the Turmeric bentonite clay mask for your underarms that I make in this tutorial: czcams.com/video/X-DJKkjcgX4/video.html
Hope that helps and thanks for watching 💚
Where did you get the container?
They sell some on amazon..
Cool.
I’m not too sure if you want a deodorant that does not allow you to perspire. Perspiration has a bodily purpose
And all these ingredients hormonal friendly?
Do u happen to have an aqueous recipe as well?
Does the Bentonite clay leave a stain on your clothes?
The last time I used a Baking soda I got my right armpit a scar from an abcess/boil.
How long will the Natural Deodorant last?
Will the scent expire as time passes by?
Will it melt when the temperature increases?
Well nothing works like the store bought cancer clogging pore deodorants. I just wash under my arms a little bit more. And I use an armpit pad so it doesn’t get on my clothes But some of the store bought ones ruin your clothes as well. It all boils down to your health.
Probably that formula had not a safe percentage of baking soda
Since Plantbased is the new hot new aged term. I'm not exactly sure what it is as far as what ppl eat and not eat. But if Vegan/not consuming animal products. Actually don't need Deodorant. I started upping my Green intake, which all green contains Chlorophyll, and Deodorant started making me smell bad, so I stopped using it, and found I don't need it. I think it's animal products that causes us to put off the harsh body oders
Never add bicarbonate Soda to a Natural Deodorant as it will irritate the skin. The under arm is very sensitive.
Sweet orange Oil is great as it’s for inflammation.
Diatomaceous Earth Clay is better - you added the Shea Butter at the wrong time which is why it felt gritty.
I can make a 10/10 Applicable Solid Deodorant, Mine doesn’t stain clothes.
I make a lot of these
Can you please share your diy deodorant recipe?
But I wonder, wont leaving clay underarms causes clogged pores? I mean we're accumulating powders of some sort for too long?
Puede decirme cómo lo hace ...?
Where did you get that container?
I found them on Amazon
@@christinaoliveryoung6019 same. They have some cute ones.
Merhaba bunu yapmayı düşünüyorum ama alt yazı seçenekleri arasında Türkçe yok ekler misin lütfen
I’m a diy expert and I just would change this recipe !!!
What kind of shea butter did u use?😭 I feel like I've been looking forever for raw, unrefined shea butter and not some "fake" kind.
Better shea butter makes awesome unrefined shea butter.
Naissance; The Soapery; Nurifi; FreshSkin all sell lovely unrefined shea
add more beeswax makes it harder vs cream
Awesome smile!
Can I ask why bentonite!?
Perspiring is natural stopping it means you should be drinking more water to let you body get rid of waste and toxins this way instead.
Screen was black could only hear audio😟😟😟
Will this stain my clothing?
❤️❤️
Thank you! 💚💚
deodorant doesn't always mean antiperspirant. And if it is aluminium free then, of course, it isn't going to be an antiperspirant deodorant. Thanks for the review. I will be buying one instead of making it
Do try the 3 ingredient one - coconut oil, baking soda and arrowroot. Make it on the thicker side so it goes on with a nice dry feel. I think you will be pleased.

Could it be done without she butter?
Yes, that's a great idea. I was just thinking of trying it again with a different butter! In addition to being moisturising and helping with the texture of the deodorant, the butter also provides structural support so I wouldn't leave it out all together. But I definitely think substituting the Shea butter with a firmer one like cocoa or mango butter would help set the deodorant more 😊
WholeElise thank you!!
Your overall rating is 2.25/5.
Yeah it's around that ball park, it doesn't neatly divide by 5 so I left it as 9/20. Thanks for watching 😊
Hshe is trying to sell and at d same time saying beware
I know you did not put aluminium in this deodorant, but it still contains aluminium because bentonite clay contains aluminium!
So does the ground. Where our food is grown. But it’s the aluminum mixed with the dangerous ingredients in store bought that causes cancer. The idea is to remove all outside aluminum Especially foil from your life. Aluminum causes Alzheimer’s Look that one up Doctors have to tell you this if you get Alzheimer’s
Where did you get that info from ? Check your resources...
Just dont put bentonite clay in it then youll like it way better
By the end of the day,I smell like a man. I'm trying to find something that last during the summer time.
Don't be fooled its only a matter of time before she takes over the world....😉😉😉
