Posted on by

Try this simple recipe for an all natural homemade deodorant that really works! No chemicals or aluminum to worry about!!

  • 4 Tbsp organic beeswax
  • 5 Tbsp organic coconut oil
  • 1/3 c baking soda
  • 1/3 c arrowroot starch
  • 10-15 drops of dōTERRA lavender oil
  • 10 drops of dōTERRA Purify oil
  • 5 drops dōTERRA cypress oil

deodorant*melt bees wax over low heat in double boiler along with coconut oil. Stir well until clear and smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in baking soda and arrowroot starch until well blended. When cool, add essential oils and mix well. When it starts to thicken, pour or spoon into empty deodorant container or you could pour into a mold and pop it out for a ‘stick.’

You can easily remove old deodorant from a container by rolling it all the way and thoroughly washing it out, then using it for your natural deodorant instead!

Ok, here’s the new favorite shaving cream recipe. This is too thick to dispense in the foaming soap dispenser, but light and fluffy, and great just scooping it out of the jar! My husband is a good critic, and gives this one two thumbs up!

{DIY} Wild Orange All Purpose Cleaner

My new favorite cleaner! Wild Orange Essential Oil + water in a spray bottle. Not only does it smell amazing, but it really cleans & cuts oil and grease. You can even spray it on your food if you want, so I feel much better using it on the table and in the kitchen instead of a bunch of chemicals! You can also spritz it around the room for a fresh, citrus scent.

To make this blend, add 15 drops Wild Orange Essential Oil to 8 oz filtered water. Shake and spray!wildorange_spray
