DIY Lavender Deodorant

September 17, 2015 By Channing 3 Comments

DIY Deodorant

Today friends I invite you into the hippie side of my life!

About a year ago Eden, my oldest, reached that point in life that all moms dread. She started actually growing up!

We started to have talks about personal hygiene and how to take responsibility for it ourselves and so on and so forth. I dread these kind of talks! I do not dread them because they make me uncomfortable but because it means that my baby is no longer a baby. (Please give me a moment while I wipe away my tears.)

Needless to say with these changes came products, products that I was very hesitant to put on my 9 year old. 

After trying a few over the counter deodorant options for her we noticed that she started having chemical burns and itching from the ingredients in her deodorant. Never mind that this was a product created for kids an ingredients with words I could not even read filled it.

So, I recently took matters into my own hands and decided to make her some DIY Lavender Deodorant!

I have to say, this option is cheap, easy, CLEAN and has quickly become a must have product in our home.

Lavender Deodorant

DIY Lavender Deodorant

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Corn Starch
1/8 teaspoon Tea Tree Oil
1/8 teaspoon Lavender Oil
1 Small Glass Jar

Deodorant Ingredients

Directions:

This is pretty much one of the easiest things you could ever make!

Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes and until everything is well blended. You will see the ingredients come together to form a paste.

Once mixed transfer your deodorant to your glass container. Let sit overnight.

The ingredients will be slightly liquidity at first but should harden some after sitting. 

To apply: Scoop out a small amount for each arm and apply gently. One jar should last you several months.

I am becoming more and more hippy-fied as time goes on! Check back soon and I will show you how I now make my own dryer sheets.

An intervention may be in order soon…

    That’s cool! We’re going thru the same thing with my 9 year old right now. And while I found some that say “no aluminum” it still freaks me out. I’m gonna try this one. Do they have the oils at HEB or somewhere easy to find like that? Thanks for the hippie suggestion! 😉

    Does this work as an anti-perspirant as well?

    i make mine with arrow root, baking soda and coconut oil – the corn starch gave me a rash – it works amazingly well – actually better than deodorants ever have for me! 🙂

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
