DIY Deodorant

What do you think about DIY deodorant? It was the first thing I tried after my armpit detox😆. I love the versatility of choosing your own oils in this recipe! Be sure to pick oils that are soothing on the skin (not hot oils;) If you try it let us know what you think! -Rebecca McClelland

INGREDIENTS

• A small glass jar

• Bamboo stick for spoon for stirring

• 3T organic coconut oil (unrefined will have a light coconut smell, refined will not)

• 2T raw organic shea butter

• 2T all-natural baking soda

• 3T arrowroot powder

• 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)

• 20-25 drops of essential oils (I used 10 drops Lavender and 15 drops Citrus Fresh)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place about 1 inch of water into a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer.

• Place shea butter and coconut oil into the glass container, and place the container in the simmering water.

• Stir until melted, then remove the glass jar from the water.

• Add in baking soda and arrowroot powder, 1T at a time and stir continuously until all clumps are removed.

• Add in vitamin E oil and essential oils.

• Place your deodorant in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to solidify. Upon removing, let stand at room temperature until it is no longer cold, then stir with a fork. Use daily -- a little does the trick!
