Homemade Deodorant - Great for Sensitive Skin & Your Pocket

HOMEMADE DEODORANT - great for sensitive skin and your pocket!

You’ll need:

1/3 cup coconut oil
2 tbs baking soda (You can even use less if you have super sensitive skin…)
1/3 cup arrow root powder (you can get this at most health foods stores)
10 – 15 drops of essential oils
A small mixing bowl and spoon
A small container for your finished product

                                       

Directions:

1. Mix the coconut oil, baking soda, and arrow root powder in the small mixing bowl. Use the back of the spoon to help “cream” the ingredients until you have a consistency similar to deodorant.

2. Mix in essential oils. You can choose whatever oils you want. Some love lavender or cinnamon or sweet orange. My favorite is patchouli. You can create your own blends based on your personal preference.

3. Store the mixture in a small container (I use my cute little spatula for this step). To use, simply swipe two clean fingers gently into the mixture and rub on your underarms. Wait two minutes before dressing to avoid any smearing on your clothes.

Note: Coconut oil melts when temperatures get warmer. So, you might want  to store the deodorant in the fridge during warm months.
