Homemade deodorant with essential oils



The reason why I wanted to make my own deodorant is because I wanted to get rid of the toxic deodorant that I was using. So why switch? Have you ever considered what is in your deodorant? Here are the ingredients that was in my old deodorant I got the ingredient list off of a website: 

1. Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly 15.4%
2. elaeis guineensis (palm) kernel oil
3. stearyl alcohol
4. cyclomethicone, 
5. C12-15 alkyl benzoate
6. PPG-14 butyl ether
7. hydrogenated castor oil
8. hydrogenated soybean oil
9. PEG-8 distearate

The skin is the largest organ in the body. I don't know about you but I don't want to be putting toxins on my skin. Knowing all of  these chemicals that were in my old deodorant, I am so glad I switched. With my old deodorant, I used to have to put more deodorant on on some days and when I went to throw it out I felt the smell of it not only give me a headache but it was repulsive. 

Tips: Switching wasn’t that hard. I used a detox Bentonite clay powder (instructions are on the back of how to use) on my pits at least once a week until my body was rid of the toxins. Also I made the switch in the winter so  this is the time when my body doesn’t sweat that much. Also I do a detox Bentonite clay powder when I need it (probably about once a month). Here is a clay mask that I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013PZECYG/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
