      Yes, I have arrowroot starch. I was hoping you would use it. Also, if you use sodium bicarbonate, make sure it's aluminum free. But you can simply use Arrowroot starch by itself. It also works as a dry "shampoo". Since it absorbs oil.

    Arrowroot powder is actually a fantastic substitute for sodium bicarbonate, also. Sodium bicarbonate (also known as baking soda) has a much higher PH level compared to your skin, whereas arrowroot powder is much closer to your skin's PH, making you less likely to break out :)

      Good to know!
      I’ve used nothing but plain baking soda for many years. Works well, but is not consistent as far as smoothness for some reason. It can be any level of coarseness (and that’s not the refrigerator kind). It’s also messy on the sink or floor near where I use it.
      I keep arrowroot in the house so will try that today!

    TLDR: 03:20
    1) Coconut Oil
    2) Bicarbonate (is this same as baking soda?)
    3) Corn or Potato Starch
    4) Fragrant Oils (optional)
    I think the most important info that should have been here is why or how it works.
    I presume the coconut oil is the crucial ingredient due to its antibacterial properties, but I can imagine it's going to be slimy and unpleasant under there...

I just put a bit of coconut oil into a small container, and the pour in the baking soda a bit at a time, at room temperature, and squish it with my fingers, until it becomes the desired consistency for deodorant. I just add baking soda until it "feels" right. Like some paste that's a bit more solid than liquidy if that makes sense.
      And when I want to use it, I just scoop up a bit with my finger and rub it on my armpit. You really don't need much, and it's easy to carry around in a little mini jar or something in this state.

    Three ingredients, so simple. Your recipe sounds wonderful, Kalle. But the conversion to the American system doesn't quite translate. Why? Because most of our measurement units are based on 4, instead of in decimals. So when it comes to cooking (or making beauty products), we Americans think fractionally, rather than decimally. A cup is 8 ounces , but 2/10 of a cup of corn starch or 08/100 cup of baking soda is not quite in our vocabulary.
    I think I can help you with the conversion.
    Approximately:
    almost 1/4 cup corn or potato starch or arrowroot
    4 teaspoons baking soda (also known as bicarbonate of soda)
    almost 1/4 cup coconut oil.
    How I converted the ingredients: it's easier for me to think of 50 mL rather than 0.5dL because in Germany, my mother's homeland, they tend to use mL in their cookbooks, instead of dL. It's actually 60mL that =1/4 cup in the American system of measurements, so maybe we could say 1/4 cup, less 2 teaspoons for the cornstarch and the coconut oil? As for the baking soda, 5 mL = 1 teaspoon.
    Thanks for sharing your recipe, Kalle. I look forward to trying it. :-)

    Itchy is more likely to come from the baking soda (many people develop skin problems from the stuff when used on the skin), the corn starch is also used as babypowder alternative. I use just cornstarch and coconutoil (1 tsp each) + 2-3 drops good essential oil if you want a scent. Mash the first to together with a fork to a paste and then add the essential oil. No preservatives, so make a new batch every month.

    Great! Had this from my neighbour/friend about 8 months ago. She added 20-40 drops of essential (?aromatherapy) oil to provide scent. She kindly gave me the recipe which did include gently warming the coconut oil until it melts, then adding the two "powders" (bicarbonate of soda and corn starch). It was wonderful and yes I admit that, as you say, after a short time using this I did in fact smell less unpleasant than whilst I was using the chemical gunk from the shops! She did advise me that depending on the temperature in the house, it may be necessary to increase the coconut oil in the winter so the deodorizer would be less hard and slightly decrease it (or increase the corn flour /corn starch) in the summer so that it doesn't melt too quickly!
    Concerning your comment about being sensitive to the "thickener"/starch. I did react quite badly when first making my own but presumed it was because I chose a different scent to the one my friend used. However on repeating without any scent and still reacting I found that in fact my issue is connected rather to whether I have just (razor) shaved my pits and how harsh I was in doing so. If I wait one day I am fine . . . ! Usually, now that I am bodily adapted to the natural deodorizer instead of the artificial chemically loaded and metallic one I can get away without using anything for a quiet day!
    Honestly the proportions she gave me (see below) last about 6 months and I generally put on twice! Just a pea sized ball or if scraping through the mass with a thumb nail, then enough to cover the thumb nail.
    Here are GB/grams proportions in case it helps anyone - sometimes conversions are easier from grams or teaspoons (etc.)
    8 Tbsp coconut oil (equates roughly 125-135g)
    8tbsp bicarbonate soda (equates roughly 125g)
    4 tbsp corn starch (equates 35g)
    20-4o drops essential oils (make sure its for skin, ie massage and not for candles/burners!)

    Most US cooks have Arrowroot to use to thicken gravies and sauces, It ends up clear and is also smoother and fewer lumps than wheat flour, which is the only flour most Americans use. Dozens of other types are available but the average get something on the table as fast as possible, person does not use them although many are on the shelf at the standard food store.

    Hi Kalle, I made you deo and it's amazing. Smells good, feels good, no stains and proven by a demanding two hour hike - it works as least as good as the Rexona deo I was using before. At a fracture of the cost and without all chemistry. Thanks a lot for sharing!

    Love this! You're 100% right that we have to pay attention to what we're putting in and on our bodies. Store bought deodorant is so bad for you. We recently made deodorant but literally melted coconut oil and added lemongrass essential oil then froze it in a silicone mold. Put a wrapping around it and just apply the block directly to armpits. Absolutely love it. We also made all natural soaps too on our channel which was fun to do for the first time. Keep spreading the information and helping others 😊

      I do the same! after using a lemon, usually after preparing a ginger lemon tea in the morning, I use the squeezed out lemon on my armpits. It neutralizes the bacteria.
      Another similar alternative is apple cider vinegar. It just comes on a bit strong at the start and is not as pleaseantly smelling (which is not the point of applying lemon juice).
      Or just slice a thin lemon slice and rub it.

    I don’t make my own deodorant but I stoped using the “normal” stuff you can get at the grocery store and opted for a vegan one. Almost instantly after starting to use the new one I noticed that I smelled less and also was sweating less because when you clog the sweat glands your body starts to overproduce to cleanse and compensate. It’s just like you said “the body needs to sweat”.
