Making your own natural deodorant is one of the easiest ways to reduce waste while choosing ingredients you trust. The challenge? Finding a recipe that is effective, easy to make, and pleasant to use every day.
That's exactly what Orim shares in her latest DIY tutorial. Using a handful of natural ingredients and KIIMA's refillable mold system, you can create a deodorant refill that fits perfectly into your reusable applicator.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Orim’s deodorant at home:
- 3 tbsp candelilla wax
- 2 tbsp cocoa butter
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
- About 25 drops of your favorite essential oils
Instructions
-
Melt the candelilla wax, cocoa butter, and coconut oil together using a double boiler.
-
While the oils are melting, combine the baking soda and arrowroot powder in a separate bowl.
-
Once the oils have fully melted, remove them from the heat and let them cool for about one minute.
-
Stir the dry ingredients into the melted oils until smooth.
-
Add your essential oils and mix well.
-
Pour or scoop the mixture into your KIIMA refill mold. Let it harden for a few hours.
-
Pop the refill out of the mold, place it into your KIIMA refillable applicator, and enjoy.
Why these ingredients work
Each ingredient has a purpose:
-
Candelilla wax gives the deodorant its solid structure.
-
Cocoa butter helps moisturize the skin and creates a smooth texture.
-
Coconut oil improves glide while offering naturally cleansing properties.
-
Baking soda helps neutralize odor.
-
Arrowroot powder absorbs moisture to help keep underarms feeling dry.
-
Essential oils add a natural scent and can provide additional benefits depending on your blend.
Why use the KIIMA DIY system?
Making your own deodorant is even easier with the KIIMA refill mold. It's designed to create a refill that fits perfectly inside the KIIMA refillable deodorant applicator, eliminating the need to trim or reshape your deodorant.
Once your refill has hardened, simply pop it out of the mold and insert it into your reusable applicator for a clean, convenient, and waste-free routine.
Don't have time for DIY?
Making your own deodorant can be fun, but life gets busy.
That's why KIIMA also offers ready-to-use natural deodorant refills made by trusted partner brands. You get all the benefits of a refillable system without having to make your own formula.
Whether you enjoy crafting your own deodorant or prefer the convenience of pre-made refills, you can easily switch between the two whenever it suits your routine.
A more sustainable daily routine
Every refill used with a KIIMA applicator replaces another disposable deodorant package, helping reduce plastic waste over time.
Whether you choose DIY refills or ready-to-use natural deodorant refills, every refill is a small step toward a more circular and sustainable personal care routine.
Making your own natural deodorant has never been easier.
