If you have sensitive skin, finding the right deodorant can be a challenge. Many store-bought deodorants contain harsh chemicals and fragrances that can cause irritation and discomfort. That's why making your own DIY deodorant bars can be a great solution - they're easy to make, customizable to your needs, and gentle on your skin. In this post, we'll show you how to make your own deodorant bars that are perfect for sensitive skin.
Set up your muffin cups so they're ready to go. You'll need 3 muffin liners in a muffin tray.
Set up a double boiler over high heat and place the beeswax in the top bowl to melt. It may take a little while to melt so be patient and allow it to melt fully. Beeswax can be a bit tricky to work with since it hardens so fast, so make sure you follow the directions closely.
While the beeswax is melting combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and set aside. Add the essential oils to the dry ingredients.
Once the beeswax is fully melted, add the coconut oil while stirring. It may clump up a little bit, but don't worry, just keep stirring until its melted.
Turn off the heat. Next, you will add the the dry ingredients, but it will begin to harden very quickly, so make sure you are stirring continuously while you pour in the dry ingredients. If you have a hand mixer, this can be helpful to use to mix at this point.
Once the dry and wet ingredients are fully mixed, add them to the muffin cups and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to harden.
Notes
USAGE TIPS: When you use the deodorant, it helps if you use the muffin wrapper to hold it while you apply so it doesn't leave residue on your hands. If it is hot where you live, you may have to keep the deodorant bar in the fridge to keep it from melting. However, if it's relatively cool, it should remain hard in the bathroom, but make sure to keep it in a container.
