I found this site because I was looking for a recipe to replace this amazing deodorant I just bought. It has all the same ingredients as the above recipe but it has beeswax too. I am telling you all this because I think it is the solution to the worry about the coconut oil turning to liquid in warm weather. I have not yet made mine, but I plan to add a little bit of beeswax because I live in Florida where my coconut oil is liquid for a large part of the year. They also added vit. E which I think is a nice idea too.

For those of you with sensitive skin, just reduce the amount of baking soda. I use 1 tbsp. baking soda to 3 tbsp. coconut oil and it works fine for me. I tried using more baking soda for summer, but it started irritating my underarms, so I went back to the first ratio. I absolutely love it and it’s pennies to make!

That is such a great idea! My coconut oil is liquid all summer long too!

This is totally new to me who needs industrial strength deodorant (I live in Florida, for one…). Thanks for the recipe. You probably know this but will relate it for others: you can buy coconut oil/or in solid form at health food stores. It’s very good for you and is good on sandwiches (well..banana and peanut butter, for instance). I heard it also is good to assist in wright loss but check it before you eat a whole jar. Mine keeps well in pantry. If u refrigerate it, it of course gets to ohard to use and takes a long time to soften up.

I use the lavendar and tea tree oil in mine and love it! I used too much tea tree in my first batch though and it burned, so I had to mix another batch of oil and soda and added it to the origional batch and it was perfect again. I first started using this recipe when I lived in PA but the real test came with moving to NC and adjusting to the intense (for me) heat/humidity. One application in the AM is all I’ve ever needed, even now.
