Tallow Deodorant Recipe

Nourish Your Skin Naturally: Our Handmade Tallow Deodorant Recipe

Finding a natural deodorant that truly works can be a journey, but we've crafted a gentle, effective solution that you can make right at home. Our Tallow Deodorant harnesses the nourishing power of grass-fed tallow combined with natural ingredients to keep you feeling fresh without harsh chemicals.

Why Choose Tallow in Deodorant?

Grass-fed tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and contains natural fats that closely mimic the oils our skin produces. It offers moisturizing benefits while helping to balance the skin's pH, making it an excellent base for deodorant. Plus, it’s sustainable and biodegradable—perfect for your natural lifestyle.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder

  • 2 tablespoons grass-fed tallow

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons unrefined coconut oil (solid at room temp)

  • 1 teaspoon shea butter

  • 1/4 teaspoon beeswax or candelilla wax (for a vegan alternative)

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil

  • 15-20 drops essential oils of your choice (like lavender, tea tree, or eucalyptus)

How It Works

  • Arrowroot powder absorbs moisture, keeping you dry without clogging pores.

  • Grass-fed tallow, coconut oil, and shea butter work together to deeply hydrate and soothe delicate underarm skin.

  • Beeswax or candelilla wax provides the perfect consistency and helps the deodorant stay solid at room temperature.

  • Baking soda naturally combats odor-causing bacteria. If you have sensitive skin, you can adjust this amount or substitute with additional arrowroot powder.

  • Vitamin E oil acts as an antioxidant, extending the shelf life while nourishing your skin.

  • Essential oils not only add fragrance but also bring antimicrobial properties.

Simple Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a double boiler, gently melt the grass-fed tallow, shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax/candelilla wax together until fully liquid.

  2. Remove from heat and stir in the arrowroot powder and baking soda until smooth and well combined.

  3. Add vitamin E oil and your chosen essential oils, then mix thoroughly.

  4. Pour the mixture into a clean container (a small jar or deodorant stick) and let it cool completely to solidify.

  5. To use, simply apply a small amount to clean, dry underarms.

Tips for Best Results

  • Store your deodorant in a cool place, especially in warmer months, to prevent melting.

  • Patch test before full use to ensure no sensitivity to baking soda or essential oils.

  • Customize scents by experimenting with different essential oil blends.

  • This deodorant is free from synthetic chemicals, aluminum, and parabens, providing a wholesome alternative for your daily routine.
