Homemade DIY Deodorant Recipe
Servings 4 oz
Equipment
- 4oz+ container - Small glass jar or deodorant tube
- Double-boiler - I make my own with a glass bowl over a pot
Ingredients
- 30 g Coconut oil
- 20 g Shea butter
- 10 g Carrier Oil - sweet almond, jojoba, etc. (whichever liquid carrier oil you love - see our carrier oils guide here)
- 10 g Beeswax
- 15 g Arrowroot powder
- 15 g Diatomaceous Earth - food grade
- 5 drops Vitamin E
- 20-25 drops Essential oils - These essential oils are fantastic from a reputable company I support!
Instructions
- Measure coconut oil, carrier oil, shea butter, and beeswax into the upper part of your double-boiler (for me, this is a glass bowl)
- Melt on low heat over bottom part of double-boiler (for me, a pot with shallow water) until everything is combined (the beeswax will be the last thing to melt...just keep stirring)
- Turn off heat and allow to cool for a few minutes
- Add arrowroot, DE, Vit E, and EO; whisk vigorously to fully combine
- Pour into container and place somewhere safe so it can set up (which actually doesn't take very long)
