Everyone sweats! You sweat, I sweat, your momma sweats, and even your little ol’ sweet granny sweats. In spite of the great American dream of designing sweatless armpits, sweating is human. Sweating is normal. But bad BO is not!
I am a trainer by trade, so, sweating is a part of my job description. It’s actually a badge of honor in my industry.
However, I would sweat my pants at the thought of having bad body odor around my clients! I would not want to be a human repellent.
So, what do you do if you’ve been cursed with bad BO and when even the most expensive, chemical laden concoctions on the market do not cover up the skunk under your arms?
Just over three years ago I created a magic homemade deodorant that’s kept me BO free, regardless of how much I sweat or how hard I work. I used it while training, gardening, cleaning, running errands, chasing Sprout or combining all of these activities in one day. And I remain BO free!
In fact, since creating my own deodorant recipe, I converted my husband to using it, and have shared it with thousands of others (not in person, of course :)).
Today I want to share it with you, so you can finally sleep, BO nightmare free, relax around your friends and co-workers, and dance your tooshie off next time you go clubbing.
It’s costs pennies, take only minutes to make, has no harmful chemicals, and will set you free from the worst BO worries forever.
- ¼ cup baking soda
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 5 tbsp organic coconut oil
- 10-15 drops essential wild oregano oil*
- 25 drops essential sweet orange oil (you van use any fragrant oil)
- 10 drops essential peppermint oil
- Place all ingredients, starting with oils, in a food processor (alternatively, you can use a hand mixer or a whisk)
- Slowly add baking soda and corn starch
- Blend until the mixture is smooth (you might have to stop food processor to scrape off the sides)
- Pour mixture into a deodorant container (you can empty your old deodorants which failed you and use the container)
- Fill to the top. Tap container gently to get mixture settled in. Add more if needed.
- Place cap over it. Refrigerate to let it solidify.** (it will take less than an hour)
- Once deodorant solidifies, it is ready to be used!
- When applying it, do so a few minutes BEFORE putting on clothes. If you put too much on, massage it into your skin, let it absorb and you are ready to be BO and chemical free!
- Do not be afraid--it won't leave oily stains on your clothes.
- Keep refrigerated between uses.
- When traveling, pack with an ice pack.
**coconut oil begins to liquefy at 74°+F.
This deodorant is gender-neutral, so, everyone can use it. You can make it more feminine or masculine by adding your favorite scented oils to the mix.
Make it. Use it. Let me know how my magic deodorant worked for you.
