Hi, today I am going to share a recipe with you, that I have known for a long time, but kind of hesitated to try it. I finally did a few weeks ago and it works great! We are all so happy with the product, we don't want to go back to store bought deodorant!
There are very few deodorants, that can truly prevent odor for 24 or more hours - no matter the promises in advertisements! But this one definitely can!
The ingredients are cheap and it's easy to make - what more do you want?!
Try it yourself and stay fresh under your arms :)
What you need :
Coconut oil
Baking Soda
Corn Starch
Teatree oil or Lavender Oil (Essential Oil)
(you can get these for reasonable prices on ebay)
Mix 1/4 cup Baking Soda with
1/4 cup Corn Starch
add 1/2 teaspoon of EITHER (not both) oils
You can use the powder as it is now or
you can add the coconut oil (2tbsp) and make a thick paste.
If the coconut oil is too hard, put it a few seconds into the
microwave and it will get soft or liquid.
Use an old deodorant container and fill in the paste.
Works perfect! Better than any store bought deodorant!
Estimated cost of one deodorant stick $0.25 - $0.30!!
If you don't have an old deodorant container, or it is too warm
and the coconut oil seems to melt,
you can also just form a ball from the mass and then
flatten it a bit, wrap it into clear foil and store it in the fridge.
We did this the second time I made this and it works even better!!
It's very refreshing when you use it! Just unfold one side (edge)
of the "bar" and rub under your arms (one time from top to bottom is enough!).
Works great and doesn't stain!
