How to Make Coriander and Tea Tree Oil Deodorant

Coriander and tea tree oil deodorant is a highly effective, natural homemade deodorant that can be made with ingredients easily found in many drug and most health food stores. If you cannot find essential oils in your area, they can be ordered online through many reputable sellers. Homemade deodorants also eschew the use of aluminum, an ingredient commonly found in commercially available products. Making your own deodorant will also save you quite a bit of money over time.

Things You'll Need

• ¼ cup vodka
• ¼ cup distilled water
• 30 drops coriander essential oil
• 20 drops tea tree oil

Instructions

1. Pour the vodka into a sterilized glass bottle that has a fine spray mister.

2. Add the distilled water and coriander essential oil and shake gently for about 20 seconds. Set aside to infuse for about one hour.

3. Add the tea tree oil and shake gently to combine. Set aside in a cool, dry place for 24 hours before first use.

Tips & Warnings

• Shake the bottle gently for about 10 seconds before each use, as the essential oils tend to settle to the bottom and separate.

• Apply the deodorant by spraying several times with mister or apply with a cotton ball.
