Non Toxic DIY Deodorant

June 24, 2018 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

I had such an overwhelming response to a request for underarm deodorant that I wanted to post it for everyone to see. This is a non toxic version that does not include the chemicals found in many store bought versions. I do not recommend putting this in a deodorant stick, you will have to store it in a glass jar and use your fingers to apply. It might be a little more inconvenient than using the stick, but I have used this recipe a lot and I do find that it works well.

You can also change the essential oils that you use in the recipe, I love the spearmint and lavender but you might have other preferences. Which oils would you use?

Share this post with someone who enjoys living a non toxic lifestyle!

Essential Oil Mini Series – Diluting Essential Oils

June 11, 2018 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

The image I posted gives you general guidelines and sometimes it depends on the oil and how sensitive your skin is. If you have very sensitive skin then you want to dilute more heavily (same with young children). You also want to dilute heavily if you are using a hot oil, such as clove or cinnamon.

My skin is not very sensitive so there are some oils that I can use neat or just 1:1 ratio with carrier oil.

Which carrier oils to use?

There are a few different options to choose from but you can choose from fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, avocado oil.

You can use the oils and dilute directly from the bottle or you can make up roller bottles (which is helpful if you are going to use the oil frequently).
