OK, Ladies, I compiled all the recipes so far, and here's a printable version of them:

Spiraling Waves’ Deodorant Lotion
2 1/2 T Aloe Vera Gel
2 T Virgin Coconut Oil
2 T Baking Soda
2 T Arrowroot Pdr (cornstarch would probably work well here)
10 drops tea tree eo
10 drops lemon eo
I mixed all ingredients together. I didn't even need to heat it up, the coconut oil was already melted. This made a runny-ish creamy consistancy, so I put it in a small squeeze type bottle. Used pea-sized amount per pit. Makes approximately 2 oz.

Kimberlily’s Recipe for Cream Deodorant
1 T coconut oil
1 T shea butter
15 drops Palma Rosa EO (or Lavender or TTO)
1 t cornstarch
2 t baking soda
Melt-n-mix, put in a pot and apply with fingertips. (I would like to try adding some beeswax to firm it up and make it a stick-application deodorant)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lissom Llama’s AVG and Baking Soda Deodorant
A pinch of soda (size of my pinky nail) and a similarly-sized glob of Aloe Vera Gel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suncat’s Deodorant Spray
20 drops of Lavender EO
10 drops of TeaTree EO
10 drops of Rosemary EO
Fill the rest of a 4-oz bottle with a 50:50 mix of Bragg ACV and filtered water.

Suncat's Deodorant Cream
1 T Cocoabutter flakes
1 t Coconut oil / Sheabutter mixture (this is a 75:25 mix she had on hand)
1 t AVG
2 t Cornstarch
1/4 t Baking Soda (I like the sounds of this less-soda recipe!)
5 drops Lavender EO
2 drops Tea Tree EO
Mix the coco butter flakes with the coconut oil and shea butter then add the aloe vera gel and stir until well blended. Add the cornstarch and baking soda and mix well. After everything is mixed add the essential oils. I just used a kitchen spoon and mixed everything in a small ramekin then transferred it to a 1/2 ounce cosmetic jar.

Teela’s Deodorant
1 T Shea butter
1 T Coconut Oil
1 T Baking Soda
1 T Corn Starch.
A big squirt of aloe to help thicken it up a bit
Lavender EO for fragrance.
Keep in a squirt-bottle and apply in the mornings.

Hairfitness101’s recipe
Apply AVG, then dust with cornstarch. (could we mix the two? I’d like to try that)


As we get more, I'll add them to my Word-Document and edit this post or something. Maybe I ought to send it to Steph (I'll report this post) for an article. I don't want ANY credit for any of it, as none of the recipes are mine, but it's nice to have them all in one place! I'll keep an eye on this thread and add to the pit-recipe-book as we come up with "other stuff that works, too!"
