home made deodrant

Posted , 8 users are following.

Here is the recipe:

Deodorant

1/3 cup baking soda

1/3 cup arrowroot powder (also called tapioca flour)

4 tbsp. coconut oil

1/2 tsp tea tree oil

Mix together.

Pour into deodorant containers (two is a perfect fit).

Refrigerate overnight.

That is it!

A batch is, I understand enough to last for two or three months and unless you live in a very warm climate there is no need to keep it refrigerated.

    You can also use plain old magnesium oil or if you are worried about the sting, Milk of magnesia I hear works very well. Also you will be getting a dose of magnesium transdermally smile
