Homemade Natural Deodorant
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 2-4 Tablespoons coconut oil at room temperature
- 10 drops of essential oil such as tea tree lavender, or rosemary (optional*)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, thoroughly mix baking soda, cornstarch, and essential oil.
- Stir in coconut oil, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Store in airtight containers to prevent drying out.
Notes
Essential oils are not completely necessary, but antibacterial oils do provide extra protection against odors — to say nothing of how nice they smell!
You can make your deodorant super thick and pack it into an empty deodorant tube so that you can apply it just like any other deodorant, or you can make it a bit thinner, and store it in a small container or jar to rub in as a lotion.
