Homemade Deodorant

Recipe (by weight, or use the measurements in brackets if you don’t have a scale): 1.1 oz. cocoa butter (1/8 c.) 2.0 oz. beeswax (3 Tbsp. melted) I used about half this amount, try a little less next time, still super solid! 1.5 oz. coconut oil (3 Tbsp.) 1.5 oz. baking soda (1/8 c.) 1.0 oz. arrowroot powder (3 1/2 heaping Tbsp.) 15 drops clary sage essential oil (for men) or other 10+10 drops of vanilla essential oil and cinnamon essential oil (for women) or other Directions: Wash and roll down your empty deodorant container. Melt cocoa butter on low heat in pan. Stir constantly. Add coconut oil and beeswax and stir until melted. Turn off heat. Add baking soda and arrowroot powder, stirring vigorously. Add essential oils. Pour quickly into empty deodorant container. Make sure it has been rolled down all the way. Allow to cool. And you are done! myhealthygreenfamily.com
