Raw Eggs – this recipe is using raw eggs yolks. So be sure to use fresh, organic eggs. If you are afraid of raw egg yolks, you can cook egg yolks using double boiler method.
Lady fingers – check Walmart, Superstore, Safeway, Italian food stores in your area or any food store. If you have time you can make homemade lady fingers.
Heavy Cream – use 33% or higher
Icing sugar – if you don’t have the icing sugar, just make homemade version. Use coffee grinder or blender to make icing sugar from regular.
Cocoa – I used organic from Costco. If you don’t like the taste of cocoa use shaved chocolate or ground coffee.

You will smell so good and from the first time you will love this DIY deodorant.
Please move the coconut baking soda mixture to a jar with lid or just keep it in a small cup cover with lid.
How to apply the natural deodorant
Use your own fingers.
Swipe a clean finger into the coconut and baking soda mixture.
Please use a very tiny amount.
Rub the mixture or very small amount into your underarm area.
Wait until it is dry before wearing clothes. (I like to wait 10 minutes)
IMPORTANT:
I did not have any problems with using the baking soda. (how about you?)
This is the recipe I am using for a very long time.
If you have redness or allergic reaction replace baking soda (or use smaller amount of the baking soda). Please check important note below.

For the best results I use every morning after taking the shower.

Quick Note
Coconut Oil – I used organic, liquid coconut oil. If you are allergic to coconut oil you can use almond oil, avocado oil or jojoba oil.
Baking Soda – I used baking soda with no ALUMINUM. Please this is super important, be sure you are using aluminum free baking soda for homemade natural aluminum-free deodorant. My favorite brand is Red Mill. The best place to buy is the health food store or any health store near you. (In Canada Vita Store, Superstore, Safeway is the place to buy sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) that has no aluminum in it.
Essential Oils – I like to use organic sage oil or organic Peppermint oil. Also you can use lavender oil or tea tree oil. I don’t like using cinnamon or clove oil. For me it is too strong.
Natural Deodorant
IMPORTANT NOTE
1. In case you develop a rash underarm please stop using the baking soda in the recipe. Replace with arrowroot powder or tapioca starch. Another option is to cut baking soda in half so instead of using 3 TBS of baking soda use 1 1/2 TBS. Check your skin and the irritation will be gone.
2. Make sure that essential oils you are using are safe for you. For me I can’t use cinnamon oil. It is too strong for me.
3. When using the homemade deodorant recipe please use a tiny amount (and I mean very tiny amount). Wait for 10 minutes before you wear shirt or dress to avoid any staining issue.
4. Do not apply homemade deodorant immediately after the shaving. I like to wait at least 8 hours before I apply a tiny amount underarm.
FINAL NOTE about making Homemade Deodorant recipe (or your own deodorant)
Super easy to make. It is only 3 ingredients recipe.
BTW if you don’t like to use the essential oils you can make this recipe using only baking soda and coconut oil.It is that simple. Your own deodorant is not high-maintenance personality.
Final Grade: A+ for very best homemade deodorant recipe.
