A few people have asked me for my deodorant recipe so here it is.
After trying a few recipes I came up with the following which I’ve been using for a couple of years. I make small batches – just multiply the quantities if you need more.
In warm weather (25C+) the coconut oil is liquid. I suggest you gently warm the oil to a liquid state if you’re in a cold climate.
In winter I pour the mix into an old stick deodorant case. You could do this in the hot weather but you'd have to keep it in the fridge. I keep it in a small glass jar during summer.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons bicarb soda
4 tablespoons arrowroot powder
4 tablespoons coconut oil (in a liquid state)
10-20 drops essential oil (I like a mix of peppermint and lavender)
METHOD
- In a small glass container with a wide opening, stir bicarb soda and arrowroot powder together.
- Pour in the coconut oil and essential oils.
- Stir well to mix.
- Screw the top on the bottle and store in a cool place.
- To use - scoop out a small amount and rub it in your underarm area.
