I came across this recipe on Hummusbird. I've been using this deodorant for about six months now and I absolutely love it so I thought I'd share it with you all.
Here's what you'll need:
3/4 cup organic coconut oil (unrefined, virgin is best)
1 cup mixture of natural baking soda and organic arrowroot flour
15 - 20 drops organic essential oil
Here's what to do:
Mix the coconut oil, baking soda, and arrowroot flour together. Make sure it is mixed well so it becomes a smooth, creamy paste. Then mix in your essential oil. Store in an air tight container.
* The recipe on Hummusbird instructs to use 1/2 cup of each dry ingredient for regular skin or 1/4 cup baking soda and 3/4 cup arrowroot flour for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin so I use the latter method and I haven't had any problems with irritation.
** Likewise, use 15 drops essential oil for sensitive skin or 20 drops for regular skin.
*** I used lemongrass essential oil, but feel free to pick a scent that invigorates you.
