Homemade De
It was only recently that I learned how harmful some deodorants could actually be for both your skin and for your body. There are multiple ingredients in many mainstream deodorants like aluminum and paragons which have been linked to various health issues. Although no one is saying that these deodorants will directly cause any of these, if there is any relationship then I want to steer clear of them.
In trying to combat this, I started off by looking into natural deodorants and then, after realizing there was a cheaper alternative, into making them myself.
There is a whole load of fantastic benefits of making your own deodorant, just a few being the fact that you can choose your scent, you can adapt them to the needs of your own skin, and you know exactly what is in them. No nasty surprises and your skin will thank you for making the switch.
I don’t suffer too much from sensitive skin, but my sister and dad do. There are many deodorants on the market that claim to be suited to sensitive skin, but you can still never quite be sure what chemicals they contain, so why not just make your own sensitive skin deodorant .
There are only a few ingredients in this deodorant recipe, so you can be sure that is going to be highly unlikely to harm your underarms. The great thing here too is that it there are recipes both with and without baking soda, an ingredient used in many natural deodorants which can irritate some peoples’ skin.
Because this deodorant is packed full of essential oils , it won’t only do lovely things for your delicate underarm skin, but it will also smell divine. Lavender and grapefruit is a scent that I would quite happily get up in the morning to cover myself in.
Even just by looking at it I can tell that this would feel so luxurious on the skin and leave it feeling so silky smooth. As this recipe indicates, it is important to remember with all natural deodorants that your skin will need a good few uses before becoming entirely used to it, so make sure that you don’t instantly knock it after the first go if you aren’t too sure.
I had gone off spray deodorant, finding that roll-on just worked better for me, but I am still really desperate to give this herbal deodorant spray a try.
All the herbs used in this recipe can be grown in your own garden, and it claims that the mixture lasts for months, which is precisely what you want. All the ingredients are completely natural, and there is nothing that you wouldn’t want your skin to be absorbing. I like that this is a pump spray as opposed to an aerosol like most spray deodorants, as you won’t waste product or be encircled by a deodorant cloud every time you use it.
Something that I really love about this ‘not a secret’ deodorant recipe is the fact that there is a list explaining each individual ingredient, exactly what it does and why you should want to lather your skin in it. I am a bit of a guilty culprit of knowing what is right for me, but not really understanding why, so I found this section incredibly helpful and informative.
I love using coconut oil and shea butter on my skin, so the fact that this contains both is a real plus for me. The recipe is so easy to follow, with helpful pictures of what each step should look like, and you can use any essential oil you want to achieve your favorite scent.
I will admit that I had to read up on what this was, but once I did, I was sold on this probiotic deodorant recipe. Basically, the use of probiotics in this deodorant aims to improve the balance of bacteria on your skin.
Despite the fact that there are quite a few ingredients in this recipe, they all serve a beneficial purpose, and the method is straightforward. There are suggestions of scent combinations which I think is a really great idea so that you can venture beyond the simple and classic essential oils. One I am particularly drawn to is lemongrass, wild orange, and bergamot, which I think sounds closer to a luxurious perfume than your average deodorant.
This is almost a pure coconut oil deodorant , with only two other ingredients added to it. It is probably one of the most cost-effective deodorants you will ever come across too.
So many different nourishing body creams, lotions, and butters include coconut oil as one of their main ingredients, which makes it a component that I am very willing to believe in and get behind. I love the smell of coconut, but I think I would probably also add a few drops of a scented essential oil into this recipe, just to keep me smelling lovely throughout the day.
Just the look of this lavender deodorant in this picture makes me want to take a massive scoop right out of the jar. Not that I would need a massive scoop, my underarms are not huge. The temptation is fuelled by how smooth and luxurious it looks.
Lavender is such a relaxing scent and can be very subtly lovely if you don’t go overboard with it, which it doesn’t look like they have in this recipe. I like that the creator of this recipe took inspiration from a deodorant she bought in a store and created her own version of it. It just goes to show that you don’t always have to spend money repeat purchasing natural products, you should always consider trying to replicate them yourself.
I absolutely love citrus scents, and those do tend to be the ones I lean towards when buying deodorant in a store, so I think that this citrus deodorant might be my new go-to.
The base recipe for this deodorant is much like many other homemade deodorant ones, and if it is used in many recipes, then I have a feeling that it must work. I especially love using anything citrus scented in the mornings, like shower gels and shampoos, as I find them so reviving and refreshing. I think this would be a very welcome addition to my citrusy morning routine.
You can never go wrong with a recipe which is as short and simple to follow as this one for essential oil spray deodorant . All the ingredients are merely poured into the spray bottle you wish to store it in, and then shaken up together. It really is that easy and requires absolutely no washing up.
I think this is the only recipe for a deodorant that I have come across which uses apple cider vinegar, so I am intrigued to find out what effects this has on the outcome and effectiveness of the deodorant. The mix of essential oils, lemon, lavender and tea tree, sounds lovely and also more unisex than some of the other options.
As I mentioned before, many people struggle with natural deodorants when they contain baking soda, but this bentonite clay deodorant solves that problem by swapping that out for bentonite clay.
Bentonite clay is a perfect ingredient for deodorant, as it absorbs odors, extracts heavy metals from the skins and much more. It is a calming ingredient, and very unlikely to cause any reactions or irritations. You can add any scent you’d like to this deodorant, or just as easily leave it scentless if that’s what you would rather. This special clay gives the product a grey tinge, but the recipe also suggests another clay you could use to avoid that if it is putting you off.
Roll-on deodorant is my favorite form, and I just find it is the best way of avoiding odor and sweat as much as possible.
My favorite thing about this roll-on deodorant recipe, aside from the apparent health benefits of swapping from my store bought products to this, is the scent suggestion section. There are loads of different essential oil suggestions, all categorized by the type of deodorant you want to achieve, whether that be light and fresh or smooth and luxurious. Vanilla is one of my favorite scents in the world, and I previously had a vanilla scented deodorant when I lived in France but have never been able to find one like it since. Maybe this is my chance, and I can use it knowing that I made it all by myself.
I’ve heard of using Himalayan salts in a bath or body scrubs, even in cooking, but I don’t think I have ever come across them as an ingredient in a deodorant before.
This recipe gives you not only one but two possible recipes for Himalayan salt deodorant , one spray, and one roll-on. I think that is such a great idea, as you can get the benefits of the salt regardless of your preferences regarding the form your deodorant takes. I don’t know why I expected this to be scentless, but I was proven wrong, and the scents of lemon and peppermint sound like they would be just divine. Whichever method you opt for, they both look simple to make and packed full of great ingredients.
I’ve never seen deodorant in a bar form like this, but come to think of it it is just like a stick deodorant but without the wasteful packaging. Unpackaged or ‘naked’ skin products are on the rise, and I think it is a real breakthrough in the efforts to cut down the use of plastic packaging.
This solid bar deodorant completely removes the greasy feeling of some natural deodorants, and they are easy to store in a glass or reusable plastic container. The method looks much easier than I expected it to be, and once you get the hang of this recipe, I am sure you could adjust it to have different scents and ingredients.
The downside of many natural deodorants is that a lot of the ingredients, like the coconut oil, for example, can be prone to melting, which isn’t really ideal for something you might want to be carrying in a handbag.
The problem solver in this no melt summer deodorant seems to be the addition of beeswax, which is an entirely natural and harmless product to use on the skin. The method contains pictures of the process so that you can be absolutely sure that you are headed in the right direction, which I always find very reassuring when trying out something new.
I had never heard of murumuru before, but that only makes me more interested to try this murumuru cream deodorant . The recipe says it has anti-bacterial and odor-fighting properties, which is exactly what you’re looking for in a deodorant. Not that it matters when it’s going on your underarms, but I really love the color too.
There is so many skin softening and aiding ingredients in this deodorant recipe; it is like different bits from the other recipes all rolled into one. There is everything from essential oils for gorgeous scents to bentonite clay for absorbing odors to coconut oil for silky smooth skin.
Before actually looking into a few recipes, I thought that making the transition from store-bought deodorant to a natural homemade one would be time-consuming and potentially fruitless, but I am happy to have been proven wrong.
I love the look of the roll-on with all the different scent suggestions as that is my favorite form of deodorant, but I think that either of the sprays could also be really cool, and could fix my hatred for aerosols.
Have you made the leap from store-bought to natural in any of your skincare choices recently? Do you think you’ll be freshening yourself up with a homemade deodorant now that you know how simple it can be?

Rather than fresh mint, skip the infusion and add one teaspoon of peppermint extract to the simple syrup, let it cool and mix it with the vodka. This version is ready as soon as the syrup cools and comes out with a transparent color (one that you can also make green with food coloring). Add 1/8 teaspoon at a time to the finished liqueur, shake, test, and add more if desired.

Sweet and minty, crème de menthe creates delicious drinks. With an infusion of fresh mint in vodka and homemade simple syrup , it's surprisingly easy to make crème de menthe from scratch, and it's ready within a few days.
Crème de menthe is one of the best-known mint-flavored liqueurs. Commonly found among other cordials at any liquor store, it's very sweet and comes in white and green varieties, the latter of which is used to create green cocktails . The store-bought liqueur is also notoriously cheap and uses artificial flavors and coloring agents.
With this homemade crème de menthe recipe, you can control all of the ingredients to make a naturally-flavored liqueur with a fresh mint taste you won't find at any store. It's also not as cloying as the commercial options and has a nice, gentle sweetness that wonderfully plays up the cool mint flavor.
Made with a two-part infusion that takes a total of three days, the first step creates mint vodka, and then you'll add syrup and let it infuse for another day to turn it into liqueur. The entire process is mostly hands-off, and you can keep the natural light brown color or add food coloring for the green crème de menthe you are used to buying. To get a clear liqueur like white crème de menthe, you need to use the mint extract variation.
The finished liqueur keeps well, makes a delightful after-dinner sipper on its own, and it's excellent for minty cocktails. This recipe fills a standard 750-milliliter liquor bottle and can be divided into smaller bottles for gifting.
1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves , unpacked
3 to 5 drops food coloring , optional

In a one-quart jar, pour the vodka and tear the mint leaves as you add them. Shake well to immerse the herbs. Let infuse for 48 hours, shaking once a day.

Bring the water to a boil in a small or medium saucepan. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved, then reduce to a simmer. After 5 minutes, remove the simple syrup from the heat and let cool completely. If making ahead, refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to blend the liqueur.

After 2 days, add the cooled simple syrup to the mint-infused liquor. Shake and infuse for another 24 hours.

Strain out the mint using a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. Discard the mint and strain one or two more times to remove extra sediment.

To color the liqueur, add 3 to 5 drops of green food coloring and shake well to incorporate.

The vodka acts as a preservative, so your homemade crème de menthe will last up to a year. Keep the bottle under a tight seal to avoid oxidation and store it in a cool, dark place alongside other liqueurs. If you notice crystallization, it's best to make a new batch.
You can drink crème de menthe straight; it's a cooling dessert drink at room temperature or when served in a chilled cordial glass. The homemade liqueur is an excellent ingredient in any crème de menthe cocktail . If you choose to keep the natural color, it will not create green drinks and slightly alter the color of recipes that typically use white crème de menthe. As a homemade recipe that doesn't have the precision of a laboratory, the specific gravity likely differs from commercial versions. It may not work as well in layered drinks (try it to see what happens, though).
This minty liqueur is also delicious poured over vanilla ice cream for an easy yet party-worthy dessert.
Crème de menthe has a relatively low amount of alcohol compared to other distilled spirits. It's typically 25 percent alcohol by volume (ABV, 50 proof), and this homemade liqueur falls in the same range. Adding more syrup will create a lighter liqueur, and using high-proof vodka will make it stronger.
While both are mint liqueurs, crème de menthe tends to be sweeter and have a less intense mint flavor than peppermint schnapps . Rarely green, the schnapps can also be much more potent, with some bottles reaching 100 proof, which exaggerates the taste. When using the two as substitutes for one another, you may have to adjust the mint liqueur and any other sweeteners in the recipe to create a well-balanced drink.

A dirty, grimy windshield is bad enough, but nothing will slow you down more than one covered in ice and snow .
Using a scraper will clear the windshield, but the effort and awkward reaching required can be troublesome and time-consuming, especially if working on a high SUV or van. Add in blustery wind or still-falling snow, you might be inclined to just stay home! Not an option? Then mix up some of this inexpensive, hard-working windshield cleaner and de-icer spray. The simple two-ingredient spray will make short work of your windshield woes and get you on the road in no time.
The de-icer spray’s active ingredient is good old rubbing alcohol , found at drugstores for around $2.50 a pint. Also known as isopropyl and isopropanol, it has a freezing point of -128 degrees Fahrenheit, so it won’t refreeze once the windshield has been cleaned.
Fill a spray bottle with two parts rubbing alcohol to one part of water. Add ½ teaspoon of liquid dish detergent for every 2 cups. Shake well. Label it as de-icer spray with your marker.
Generously spray the mixture onto an iced-over windshield. Spritz a bit on your door locks too, to free them of ice. Wait just a minute or so as it softens the ice , or melts it altogether.
For extra-heavy ice on windows, you may need to do a little scraping. If so, grab your scraper to clear away the thicker patches
Turn your windshield wipers on and with a couple good swishes, your windshield should be de-iced, clean, clear, and ready for some driving!
Further Considerations: This de-icer can also do good to manage other another hang-up before a snowy commute: If you wake up to frozen car door locks one morning, simply spray it on the locks, wait 10 to 20 seconds to melt the ice, and insert your keys, and your lock should move fine. (If you do this frequently in the winter, don’t forget to occasionally spray a little WD-40 or other lube into your lock—or on your key before inserting it into the lock—to keep the lock’s inner-mechanisms functioning smoothly.)
