Homemade Deodorant

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C. baking soda
  • 1/4 C. cornstarch or arrowroot
  • 5 - 6 T. coconut oil
  • Tea Tree Oil (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the baking soda and cornstarch, then work in the coconut oil. I used my mixer to incorporate the two until well combined.


If desired, add tea tree oil (anywhere from 5 - 20 drops) which has natural antibacterial qualities. I tried adding some lavender essential oil, but the coconut oil seemed to overpower the scent a bit. Just think of this deodorant as having a tropical scent and leave it at that.
