I’ve been moving more and more toward natural solutions to everyday procedures… So, let’s address a stinky subject… you know that offensive smell of body odor!
I would not have tried this if…
I wouldn’t have tried this if I didn’t have little 8 year old twin grandsons who are beginning to need this. I seriously couldn’t use enough soap and water to wash away their smell! LOL! And I wasn’t about to apply the chemically laden store alternatives to their young, still delicate skin… so I did some research.
Everywhere I looked, people raved about…
This recipe…
My creation! Best deodorant ever!
I used Lime essential oil which makes the recipe actually smell similar to a cake mix, though it’s not as fragrant as the perfumed deodorants from the store. I’ve read where people use other citrus essential oils or lavender. Choose your favorite oil. I think I will try cinnamon next or a combination of other earthy fragrances – YUM! Simply combine the dry ingredients and add in the oils. Stir it well with a fork. Then after a shower, using your clean finger, pick up a small amount and rub it on. Too easy!
Sweet Success!!!
My little grandsons no longer smell like sweaty men who have been working in the yard on a hot summer’s day! YEAH! And even better, my husband loves it! No more chemicals on our delicate armpits! This is so much more of a blessing than no longer placing those chemical laden store products on our skin, because now we no longer have to worry about those unsightly yellow deodorant stains on white undershirts and white dress shirts! YEAH!!! And for just a few cents on the dollar, too!
Some Variations…
Some sites said to only use 2 Tablespoons coconut oil. I will be trying this next. Others suggest you put it in an old stick deodorant container, however, coconut oil liquefies when the weather warms up, so I preferred to put it in this lovely covered sugar bowl. It’s lovely on my counter.
I don’t know where the recipe originated or who was the first to post it… but thank you, thank you!
Contact me for more information!
I would be happy to share with you the essential oils I prefer to use!

It’s so exciting for me to experience real change in the lives of my clients and family. That change has come 
from the use of SimplyHealed™ energy healing techniques, eating a more whole food diet – eliminating processed foods and sugar, and getting regular exercise. The use of essential oils has been a wonderful addition to our well being.
