Simple & Basic Deodorant

Wanna read a new horror story? Just glance at the back of your store bought deodorant. Filled with dangerous chemicals, they have been known to cause cancerous cells. Ever wonder why breast cancer is so common these days? Yea. 

Do something positive for your health and create this all natural deodorant recipe. Your body will thank you. 

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Baking Soda

6 Tablespoons Cornstarch

2-3 Tablespoons unrefined Coconut Oil

10-20 drops Essential Oil

10-20 drops Tea Tree Oil

1 empty, washed and dried deodorant container

Method

1. Measure baking soda and cornstarch and place in a bowl.

2. Add 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil, followed by 10-20 drops of tea tree oil. Mix well.

3. Add coconut oil to the bowl and mix well. If you find the coconut oil is hard to mix it, you may warm it in the microwave for a few seconds, but it can become a bit crumbly. Don't worry, though, it will all go into the container just fine.

4. Make sure the container is clean, dry, and unwound, so that it can be twisted up later when it gets low. Pack mixture into the container, pushing it down with your fingers so that there are no air bubbles or gaps. We want to have a solid stick inside.

5. When you are finished packing in the mix, wipe off the edges and place on the cap. Put the deodorant container in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the mix to set and firm up.

Notes:

-This recipe has a shelf life of 3-4 months.

-Since coconut oil liquefies above room temperature, you'll want to keep it in the fridge or freezer.

-To avoid marks on your clothes, put on your deodorant a few minutes before dressing, allowing it to dry completely.

-Apply lightly. You do not need a thick coating for it to work.

-Give your body a few days to adjust to the new ingredients before making a decision on how you like it.

-Enjoy your new all natural, homemade deodorant, knowing you are doing something positive for your health!
