Tips
- Two versions of the recipe are available: one vegan-friendly and one not.
- You can replace tallow/beeswax with shea butter or mango butter for a softer deodorant.
- If you want a softer deodorant, reduce the amount of beeswax or use the vegan version.
- Paper deodorant tubes can be difficult to push up; consider using a twist-up tube or reusing an empty container.
