Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon shea butter
  • 2 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • Essential oils of choice
  • deodorant container

Instructions

  • Melt shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler. I make my own by placing a glass bowl over a pot of water.
  • Remove from heat and add in baking soda and arrowroot powder.
  • Add essential oils of choice. I'll list my favorite combos below!
  • Store in a glass mason jar with an air tight lid or pour into empty deodorant container.

Notes

  • If you are storing yours in a deodorant container you may want to keep it in the refrigerator because the coconut oil will melt below 76 degrees. If you are planning on traveling with it you can store it in a mason jar with an airtight lid.
