Natural Stick Deodorant Formula

December 26, 2024

This natural deodorant formula is a great choice for anyone looking to leave the synthetic and, often, toxic ingredients of commercial deodorant behind. Store this in a push-up deodorant container similar to image.  

• 20% shea butter, highly moisturizing; softens and soothes skin
• 20% candelilla wax, an emulsifier that soothes skin
• 20% kokum butter, non-greasy feel that facilitates application
• 20% magnesium hydroxide, kills bacteria without blocking pores
• 20% arrowroot powder, absorbing thickening agent very gentle on skin
• 10 drops of essential oils

 In a sauce pan, melt the first 3 ingredients.  Gently incorporate the magnesium hydroxide and arrowroot powder & essential oil using a whisk until the mixture is homogeneous.

Pour into your containers. Allow to harden and use as required.

Essential oil combination suggestions:  

• 5 drops lavender, 3 drops clary sage, and 2 drops tea tree
• 4 drops lime, 3 drops bergamot, and 3 drops lemon
• 4 drops geranium, 4 drops lavender, and 2 drops grapefruit
