Homemade Healthy Deodorant

By Lulubelle

You can play around with the amounts, proportions, and scents to get it just the way you like it. This is a good starting point, though.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup organic cornstarch (regular cornstarch most likely is made from GMO corn)
• tea tree oil
• essential oil (optional)
• containers

Preparation

Step 1

1- Gently liquify the coconut oil by placing it in a heatproof bowl set in a pan of hot water.

2- Remove the bowl from the water and stir in the baking soda and cornstarch. Stir till smooth.

3- Add several drops of tea tree oil and essential oil (if you're using any). Stir it in.

4- Pour the deodorant into your containers. This makes enough for 2 stick deodorant refills and some extra. If you have more than you can use right now, pour the extra into a small glass jar, label it, and store it in the refrigerator. When you want to use the extra, just gently reheat in hot water to liquify and pour into your container.
