Have you heard how much bad stuff is in store-bought deodorant? Apparently a lot! Just check out the ingredients list on your own. I can’t use the regular kind anymore as it gives me rashes and itches like crazy. I checked online and found a bunch of different recipes. I made my own and it was super-duper simple.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbs arrowroot
- 1 tbs cornstarch
- 2 tbs baking soda
- 2-2.5 tbs coconut oil
- optional: 3 drops tea tree oil
Directions:
- In a bowl mix the powders
- Add 1 tbs of coconut oil at a time and mix between each time.
- Optional: add 3 drops of tea tree oil, it will give it a nice, faint smell that will work both for male and female
- Put it in a small container with a lid
- If it’s a bit soft place it in the fridge
When its time to use it scoop out a small amount, about pea sized, and apply to under your arms.
Very cool – do you apply with just your fingers? Or do you use something else? Who would have thought!!
Yes it is haha! I just use my fingers – but I bet you could use one of those wooden stick thingys if you would want. But I dont mind using my fingers and its just easier lol
This looks very easy. I haven’t worn deodorant in several years and just wash myself a few extra times if I need it. I’ve pinned this for the time I will want to start using something again. Thanks! Stopping by from Wake Up Wednesday.
Hi There, I am a cohost for Wake Up Wednesday. Thanks for sharing. You recipe seems super simple — why arrowroot? Please swing by my page and say hi while there.
