DIY Deodorant That’s Aluminum-Free, Lavender-Infused, and Slightly Cursed

DIY Deodorant That’s Aluminum-Free, Lavender-Infused, and Slightly Cursed.

Somewhere between capitalism, body odor, and a distrust of ingredients I can’t pronounce, I decided to start making my own deodorant. Is it witchy? Yes. Does it smell like self-sufficiency and herbal sass? Also yes. Welcome to the underworld of natural body care. This one’s for the haunted homemakers and soft goth survivalists.

🕵️‍♀️ What We’re Making:

A natural, effective deodorant (non antiperspirant) that fights odor, keeps you fresh, and channels lavender-infused calm with a whisper of menace. Optional: apply by candlelight while softly muttering incantations.

🌿 Ingredients:

1.5 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp beeswax

.5 tbsp shea butter

.5 oz. magnesium hydroxide

10 drops lavender essential oil

10 drops tea tree or lemongrass oil

💪 Why I Use This Recipe:

Simple, effective, and low-key apothecary vibes. Beeswax for stiffness. Coconut oil and magnesium hydroxide brings the antibacterial energy. Lavender and tea tree? They're nature’s deodorant and exorcist duo.

⚗️ Instructions:

Melt coconut oil, shae butter, and beeswax until liquid (double boiler or microwave).

Mix in magnesium hydroxide until smooth.

Add essential oils. Stir gently like you’re blending secrets.

Pour into a small jar or tube. Let cool and solidify.

Apply with clean fingers or straight from the tube per usual.

🧠 Tips from Mrs. Silent Hill:

Store in a cool, dark place (like your soul).

For bonus creep factor: store in a vintage silver container labeled 'Protection Potion.'

Let me know if you try it—just don’t blame me if your armpits start speaking Latin. —Mrs. Silent Hill
