Homemade Deoderant

So I have been allergic to the aluminum something or other in all deoderants pretty much ever since I started using it. So over the last 8 or so years I have had to use these silly all natural ones that NEVER worked, I always smelled if I even thought about breaking a sweat! UNTIL my cousin Betsy told me about how she makes her own and it works so great, she never smells, and its so easy to make! She found the recipe from this website: www.edibleperspective.com

I will never go back to storebought stuff!

6 Tbsp organic coconut oil
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/4 cup baking soda
4 capsules 400 IU Vitamin E oil
10-20 drops of an essential oil (I used tea tree oil, but this website girl used peppermint and sweet orange, I couldn't find sweet orange) I will probably switch it up whenever I have to buy more until I find a favorite)


Soften the coconut oil in the microwave, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. I store it in a glass jar with a lid. It hardened, but I just rub it between my fingers for a couple seconds to soften it then apply.
