Homemade Amazing Deodrant by
Source: Adapted by Passionate Homemaking
Ingredients
5-6 tablespoons coconut oil
1/8 cup arrowroot powder
1/8 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup baking soda
Several drops of bergamot oil (optional)
Instructions
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.
