Such a good post and even better recipe, I think I going to try it!

The weirdest thing?  I'm fiddling and playing right now to make a commercially viable version of this for sale - at the same time that I suddenly seem to have absolutely no more need for deodorant personally.  Wtf??!! I sweat buckets but almost nothing under my arms anymore - can only be explained as a post-menopausal benefit really, since my underarm hair has also vanished miraculously in the last year or so.  

I'm literally having to recruit testers. 😆  Nice post... lucky for me and our livelihood, most people still will rather buy a tin at the store than make it themselves, and the ingredients remain elusive for many. 😆

Liking the stickers. 

OK not wanting to sound contrarian over here BUT! I've tried a similar mix-of-oils-with-soda-and-essential-oils homemade thingie made by a friend and it does not really work for me. Main reason is probably I sweat more than normal esp in the armpits + I have oily skin. So adding more oil under there basically does not help. 

What I've noticed is if I stop using ANY kind of product and *gasp* shaved my armpits *gasp* there's not much of a smell, if any. In case I'd like to have some *nice* smell rather than the regular body smell, I'd use [wife's deo stick](https://www.dm.de/alverde-naturkosmetik-deo-stick-deodorant-salbei-limette-p4010355331441.html), which even if it's not the most natural thing in the world is still a very nice alternative. And also I can use it as aftershave.

My mama thinks you are really funny being a posh hippie bird. Daddy calls her hippie organic because she wipes avo on her face. We love your deodorant! My mama @buckaroo makes a similar one but with clay instead of the bicarb and shea butter because mango butter is so expensive.

I love the stickers! I use bio deodorant but in the hot days yup it does not do the trick. Essential oils help a lot and I think that it also helps your skin to have some natural butters for moisture. I am not a vanilla girl, it is too sweet for my taste. But ylang ylang and roses.... Oh yes

@thebigsweed just directed me here and now that I think about it, I wonder wtf he's trying to say?! Dude.. Explain yourself!

Great write up young lady. You told me awhile back about your deodorant recipe, thanks for putting it up. I'm on it! *I'll keep you posted.* And congrats on the reward. 👍🏿

As always your posts grab my attention. This time I actually have a logistical question ~ do you shave your under arms? I do not, and I have been blessed by the genetic gods with an *ample* amount of hair, so I don't want to go get out my big 'ole box of essential oils, butters, tins, and more without asking first. I would LOVE to make my own deodorant that actually works, it is a challenge balancing the desire for a natural deodorant and one that does the job. I have tried soo many of the commercially produced ones and never really have found one that truly satisfies...
big hugs, @riverflows ~ from one hemisphere (and season) to another I am sending all the love in the world! 

Hehe I was chuckling my way through your post. Love it! 

I used to be a smelly hippie until I discovered I could make my own EO blends too. I've used limes, salt water, and spent ridiculous money on eco friendly ones too. 

I just go for the easy option and mix up normally sandalwood, ylang ylang and a touch of patchouli to grapeseed oil. 
It doubles as a lovely body moisturizer too. 

I think I may try your recipe soon though as I'd like to try some experimenting again. 
Love the presentation. I don't know how you find the time to do all these amazing things, you're a super natural woman. 

I really enjoyed this xx 

Hugs 🤗💚😊

That is something different to me. ☺️ Because what we are using was we called "TAWAS". This type of rock is mined in the mountains. It is white like salt. 🙂

Ah, this is so nice, I remember a post about you making your own deodorants over a year ago, if I remember correctly I even think you brought some of them with you on your travels?

I love this

> I'm a posh hippie bird

Maybe it's no surprise, I am too 😁

I have been using more natural deodorants for the last couple of years but I'm still struggling with finding one that's effective.

This was very inspiring to read.

Interesting read, @riverflows. I suffered from deodorant alergy for a long time a few years ago. I tried all sorts of different formulas and non-alcohol and no perfume and this and that. One day I simply decided to let go and stop using any at all, just cleaning the armpits with water during the day. Well, during the first weeks I did feel sweaty and stinky. However, as my body worked to clean the horrible toxins out I began to feel way better. Nowdays I don't stink anymore, nor do I need to use anything (unless I want to smell noooice).

I usually make deodorant for myself, but with a much simpler recipe! I never used mango butter and cardellia wax, I didn't know them before your post! Thank you so much for sharing with us ;)

I love it very much @riverflows.  I hope i can make this one day. awesome product. Greetings!

It's so cool to see such topics being discussed on this forum. We are so embarrassed by our body odour and we don't talk about it. But discussing this actually brings a solution. Although I personally don't face this issue but I know people who suffer from this issue, will surely recommend this to them. Thanks for sharing. 

Good morning, I knew there was a reason why I've been thinking of stopping by for the last day or so.
Your posts are always fun to read,  always informative, and you always seem to put a smile on my face with your humor. 😁
For the past several years I've been using Arm & Hammer deodorant in an attempt to go a little more natural, but the stuff still has shit in it that I can't pronounce.
Great idea measuring all of the ingredients out in grams, definitely makes things precise. I'm glad you have been perfecting your very own concoction for the past several years because I'm about to copy every move.  
I hope this isn't plagiarism.  😁
The cost per container is nominal, compared to what you spend on deodorant in the store, plus your containers are as cool as ever.
Have you ever thought about going on SHARK TANK with your goods?
 We've been busy as beavers lately and with the weather cooperating,  it's been asses and elbows from sunup to sundown.
This kind of sounds like an excuse for not visiting one of my favorite authors in a while, well it is and that's my bad.

Have a wonderful day!
