Get ready to experience the delight of a cream-based deodorant that keeps you feeling fabulous from sunrise to sunset. Let’s dive into the world of DIY self-care and discover the wonders of this homemade deodorant recipe. Let’s get started!

Ingredients Needed

  • Cream base
  • Musk cube
  • Essential oils: Peach, tea tree, and lemon, or others that you prefer and suit your skin type. If you have a sensitive skin, don’t use the lemon essential oil. You can replace it with chamomile essential oil for example.
  • Aloe vera gel

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

Tools Needed

  • Scale to weigh quantities
  • Bowl
  • Extra fine grater
  • Wooden popsicle
  • Glass container or jar to store the DIY Deodorant with Cream Base

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Deodorant with Cream Base

1- Start by putting 100 grams (3.52 oz) of the cream base into a bowl.

3- Add the musk powder over the cream base.

Note: The powdery musk in the cream will melt from body heat when you rub it onto your armpits. It is the musk that will fight the odor and that will make your DIY Deodorant with Cream Base last up to 48 hours.

4- With a wooden popsicle, mix thoroughly.

5- Add 5 drops each of 3 essential oils that you like and that suit your skin type. Here, I am adding 5 drops each of peach, tea tree, and lemon. If your skin is sensitive, replace the lemon essential oil with the chamomile or green tea essential oil.

How To Use: DIY Deodorant with Cream Base

Let’s explore how to use this wonderful DIY Deodorant with Cream Base to experience all-day freshness and confidence:

Step 1: Preparation
Before applying the deodorant, ensure that your underarms are clean and dry. A quick wash with soap and water followed by thorough drying will do the trick.

Step 2: Scoop a Small Amount
Using your fingers or a clean, small spatula, scoop a pea-sized amount of the DIY deodorant from the jar. Remember, a little goes a long way, so there’s no need to over-apply.

Step 3: Warm It Up
Gently rub the deodorant between your fingers to warm it up. This helps soften the cream and allows for smooth and even application.

Step 4: Apply to Underarms
Now, apply the cream to your underarms. Massage it in using circular motions until it’s evenly distributed on the skin.

Step 5: Allow Absorption
Give the deodorant a few moments to absorb into your skin before getting dressed. This allows the natural ingredients to work their magic and keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.

Step 6: Reapply as Needed
For optimal results, you may choose to reapply the deodorant during the day, especially if you’re engaging in physical activities or experiencing particularly warm weather. However, this DIY deodorant is designed to provide long-lasting freshness.

Step 7: Enjoy the Confidence
Now that you’ve applied your “DIY Deodorant with Cream Base,” you can confidently go about your day knowing you’ve made a healthy and effective choice for your personal care.

Remember, everyone’s skin is unique, and it may take some time for your body to adjust to this natural deodorant. If you experience any sensitivity or irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
