Natural Deodorant

5 TBSP.Coconut oil (virgin organic) melted slightly
1/4 cup Baking soda
1/4 cup Cornstarch
10 drops Essential oils
Mix until creamy. Apply a pea size drop to each underarm. Keep in closed container. You can also put this mixture into a cleaned out old deodorant container.
NOTE: Add a couple tablespoons of grated beeswax to help it be a little more solid.


I'm going to use arrowroot powder instead of the cornstarch also I will use 3/4 cups arrowroot powder and 1/4 cup baking soda.

As far as what oils do you use? Use oils that you want to use daily (except those that would irritate: Some citrus oils, Cinnamon, Clove Bud, Peppermint, Oregano, etc would all probably burn like crazy!)

Some recommendations are:
Whisper Essential Oil has newly become one of my top three oils.
Melaleuca Essential Oil is anti-bacterial so will help with smells.
Balance Essential Oil is great for centering you.
Bergamot Essential Oil
Citrus Bliss Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil
Frankincense Essential Oil
Purify Essential Oil

More manly oils would be
Myrrh Essential Oil
Patchouli Essential Oil

I'll update once I make this recipe.
