Homemade Deodorant! Viva La Green!


   Good morning! How is everyone? Today I have a treat for you
Homemade deodorant! This is for you extremists, like me! I love the thought of homemade deodorant and I have two recipes for you... so you can pick which one you fancy most. :) The first recipe(the one you see above), is by Wellness Mama. Great website for all cautious women.  Recipe down below! 

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup shea buttercocoa butter or mango butter (or a mix of all three equal to 1 part)
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tsp  beeswax
  • optional: Vitamin E oil to preserve. I added 1 tsp vitamin E oil for  this recipe)
  • 3 tablespoons baking soda (Omit this if you have sensitive skin and just use extra arrowroot)
  • 1/2 cup organic arrowroot powder
  • 2-3 capsules of high quality probiotics that don’t need to be refrigerated (I love Bio Kult brand)
  • optional: Essential oils of choice – I used about 20 drops of lavender essential oil
   
The second and less complicated recipe is by The Frugally Rich Life. The reason I posted two is because one is soft deodorant, and one is hard. I am not sure how you would apply the soft deodorant, and i'n not sure which is more effective.

  • 6-8 Tbsp Coconut oil (solid state)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch (arrowroot is preferred)”
