If you use a recipe with coconut oil, won't the oil melt in the warm weather? Can you please post a recipe for natural, allergy free deodorant?

Yes! if you leave it in the car or in direct sun, it will melt. It won't melt completely at room temperature or in a warm room if you use something like beeswax to keep it solid, but I always tell my customers to make sure they don't leave them in the car in the summer. Or in their pocket.

Any recipe using beeswax will yield a more solid deodorant, not sure about the allergies but hope this helps.

I believe it depends on the amount of oil and other ingredients you add to it. I do not make my own, I order it in bulk from a fabulous etsy shop labeled 'StegosaurusRex' aka RexApothecary and they can also be found at Rex-Organics.com (I thought about making my own, then decided not to fool with it... Instead, go with someone who's done the research and uses the best ingredients). Hope that helps.

I use the coconut oil recipe.You can Google search or visit DIY natural for a different recipe.

I'm not sure what allergens you're trying to avoid...maybe you could modify this one if there's something you are allergic to. The beeswax will keep it from melting, even in the trunk of a car all day in Hawaii! I've made this recipe several times, if at all possible, use every ingredient. I've made it without castor oil and it was not the same :( http://amyrogershays.com/2013/07/16/homemade-deodorant-for-sensitive-skin-bentonite-clay-and-baking-soda/

I did a Google search, and came up with dozens of recipes from YouTube, Pinterest, and various blogs across the web. An easy one is to melt together equal parts of mango (or shea or cocoa) butter, beeswax, and coconut oil (or olive or sweet almond oils). When all butters, oils, and waxes are melted together, remove from heat, and pour into your molds. Here's a recipe link too, her recipe is very similar to the one I use. http://wellnessmama.com/4770/lotion-bars/

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :)

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

Yes. That's the beauty of coconut oil, it has a low melting temperature. If you're planning to use it in your hair, be aware that it (and your hair) will solidify in the cold.

So far all I have done is melt it down with other ingredients. One of my favorites is a Buttery Coconut moisturizer. See on pinterest for recipe.

I actually remade my batch of deodorant because I wanted to add more essential oils. I re melted and repoured in the tubes. If you are only using them for yourself I see no reason not to reuse them after hand washing.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

Yes. real, pure coconut oil has a melt point of about 70 or 75 degrees, so yes it's solid at lower temperatures. I use it after I get out of the shower. In the winter I just keep by the heater vent. The food grade coconut oil is sold in wider mouthed jars for scooping.

Alcloxa is in the Deodorant I did some research and could not find anything negative about this ingredient. I found that the type is aluminum chlorohydroxy, Allantoin. in my search i also found a deodorant that is completely chemical free I had never heard of Beach Organics. I will discontinue my use of Alvera Thank you for calling it to my attention.

I wouldn't, I used on my face and is still burning. My face got really dry. I have being using coconut oil to fix the dryness.

The organic, unrefined, coconut oil is fine for cooking, but if you are going to use it for scrambled eggs and other things you cook in a frying pan, it is important not to let it get overly hot. It should not get to the point it is smoking. It has a very low melting temperature, so it does not take much to get it ready to add the food you want to cook. I use it all the time for cooking eggs.

I wouldn't put it in the fridge, even if it has melted. When I put my coconut oil in the fridge, it was really hard to scoop any out.

I use it with coconut oil on my skin. Fragrance doesn't last long. Worth trying!

Yes I have used them by itself with no bad reactions but I still would suggest using a carrier oil because all skin is different.I mainly use this oils to mix with my lotions, bath gels for my business. Hope I answered your question.

Hi, Karen! This is the first time I've bought this product, I've been keeping the parading well wrapped and in a Zip lock bag. So far, I had no issues. As for the paraffin I melted for my hands, I have used it 3 times already. Use your common sense here...keep the lid on when not using it and in a cool place . You will know when to replace it, especially if you are the only using it. Hope this was helpful!
