Homemade All-Natural Deodorant // It’s heating up… finally! And while I love a good sweat in the summer while working outside all day, I need a deodorant that can keep up with me. I’ve tried TONS of all natural options and just haven’t found any I like… or that even work. Until I tried this recipe! I altered several base recipes over the past few months to come up with this one. It works!!! And it’s got all natural ingredients.
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
1 Tablespoon shea butter
1.5 Tablespoons arrowroot powder (cornstarch works too)
.5 Tablespoons baking soda (decrease or skip if you have sensitive skin)
20 drops essential oil, optional (I like citrus, geranium or lavender)*
Directions
Combine the coconut oil and shea butter in a heat safe container. Melt and stir. Add the arrowroot powder and baking soda. Add the essential oil and stir to combine until there’s no lumps. Refrigerate to cool for about 2 hours. Store at room temperature. To use, just rub right on your pits! A little goes a long way. *Note to consult your physician before adding essential oils to find what is compatible with you, your skin, and health conditions.
