Coconut Oil Deodorant Recipe with Essential Oils Kindle Edition

Deodorants can be among the most toxic skin care products on the market. Commercial deodorants often contain toxic ingredients such as aluminum and parabens. Parabens are found in 99 percent of breast cancer tissues, for example.

You can make your own non-toxic deodorant with virgin coconut oil and essential oils with my recipe below. This recipe is designed to fill a wide-mouth glass jar, so that you can use your fingers to apply. Many commercial deodorants are "roll-ons," which means you are reapplying toxins from your sweat back into your armpits each time you use it. With the paste-like consistency of this recipe, you can use your clean fingers to apply under each arm.

By using virgin coconut oil and pure essential oils, you are putting healthy antioxidants and plant extracts into your skin.

Using Coconut oil is amazing . It keeps your body nice inside and out. This book gives insight into why one should not use products with toxins as they do great harm. It also gives a recipe for making your own healthy deodorant. It helps prevent breast cancer by keeping harmful chemicals out of your body that are in over the counter deodorants. I appreciate having this information. A great book! Thank you Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars the title says it all

ORIGINAL REVIEW: It's exactly what the title says. I got the ebook for free, so no complaints about the price. I haven't proven the recipe yet, but I intend to. It would be nice to know if this requires refrigeration in summertime. I appreciate that it avoids cornstarch for those with corn allergies. I would recommend saving an empty deodorant applicator to refill rather than applying with fingers if you choose to make your own deodorant.

UPDATE: This recipe does require refrigeration. When used with tea tree oil, my husband smells fresh all day & has quit complaining that my fragrance allergies force him to use "hippie deodorant." He also thinks his underarm irritation healed after making the switch (propylene glycol allergy?). The current recipe is fine for winter months in Indiana if you keep the thermostat low. My husband asked me to reformulate for a summer friendly formula. I may like that, too because I don't care for how quickly this one melts during application, although it soaks in fast & doesn't feel wet very long.

You Get what you ask for, straight forward information. Easy electronic delivery. Dislike that I have to put in a review with so many words to continue reading the book.

This was short and sweet, hardly a "book" at all! Seriously just a recipe and some background information. 5 stars because it is exactly what it says that it is!

I would have been really upset if I had paid for this. When I opened the book, it said I had one percent left in the book. The whole book is one recipe with a few variations of essential oil combinations. Don't bother unless you get it free.

I make Goats milk soaps because I am a Diabetic and they are fantastic for the dry skin that I suffer from. I also make my own body/after shave lotions with the same essential oil I use in my soap, called Spiced Mahogany, now, thanks to this booklet I made my first batch of Spiced Mahogany under arm deodorant ! A nice Manly scent to match everything else that goes on my body.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent base recipe to make your own deodorant!
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2015

This book is literally four pages long. It has one deodorant recipe inside with a few essential oil combinations to try out for your base deodorant recipe. I tried the recipe and its decent but I ended up with a dreaded rash from the baking soda. I have really sensitive skin so it might not bother you as much or it could be the Arizona summer heat mixed with the baking soda and sweat that is agitating me. Either way the recipe is decent but even after trying store bought deodorant that is similar to this recipe, I still get a rash from the baking soda.
