THINGS NEEDED TO PRODUCE HOMEMADE DEODORANT
(1) 5-6 tablespoons coconut oil
(2) 1/8 cup arrowroot powder
(3) 1/8 cup cornstarch
(4) 1/4 cup baking soda
(5) Several drops of bergamot oil [optional]
Mix the powders together in a jar and slowly add the coconut oil until you have a "pomade" consistency and powders are mostly dissolved. Add a few drops of oil until it has a lovely hint of scent.
To use, scoop out a pea sized amount and rub between your fingers to melt and create a smooth texture. Apply under your arms and rub any left into your hands as a moisturizer.
Since the coconut oil changes rapidly from a solid to a liquid I would not recommend trying to use a traditional deodorant "stick" but rather to scoop from the jar.
If you are at all hesitant about making your own, this is the recipe that will win you over! Non toxic, plastic free, sustainable, and extremely effective. Total win-win.
