Deodorant Recipe 1 – Ingredients

  • 3 T Coconut Oil
  • 3 T Baking Soda
  • 2 T Shea Butter
  • 2 T Arrowroot (optional)
  • Essential Oils (optional)
  1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler over medium heat until barely melted. UPDATE: Combine in a quart size glass mason jar with a lid instead and place this in a small saucepan of water until melted. This will save your bowl and you can just designate this jar for these type of projects and not even need to wash it out…
  2. Remove from heat and add baking soda and arrowroot (If you don’t have arrowroot, use more baking soda)
  3. Mix well
  4. Add essential oils and pour into a glass container for storage. It does not need to be stored in the fridge.
  5. If you prefer, you can let it cool completely and put into an old deodorant stick for easier use, though it may melt in the summer!

 

For softer deodorant recipes, it best to use either a top filled container or the wide, clear bottom-filled deodorant container.

    I couldn’t find your video and was wondering with the bottom fill containers when you were supposed to stop and how does just the bicycle looking bars supposed to push up the deodorant?

      Hi Melanie, thanks for your question! Fill up your bottom-fill container up to the bicycle bars in the container, just barely covering them should suffice. Once the deodorant hardens, they should provide enough grip to twist up your deodorant mixture. I hope this helps! Here is a video that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-erfXrIZIo
