We are trying to move to as many natural home made things as we can. So I made natural deo for me and the fam the other day! It feeds my child soul making potions in the kitchen. I’ve been using this deodorant for almost a year now and love it. Before i started using it my skin would get irritated and sometimes I would get bumps, but this one feels so much better. It is a little runny, so I’m thinking about adding some beeswax (I’ll add recipe below) to make it a little harder.
Deo Potion
- Shea Butter
- Coconut Oil
- Arrow Root Powder
- Baking Soda (helps with odor control, I don’t use in my personal one)
- Essential Oils ( I use lemon and Lavender)
So I don’t have exact measurements but for the shea butter and coconut oil use about a one to one ratio. Melt it in the microwave or on the stove whatever you prefer. If you do put it in the microwave make sure to be careful, I do 30 second increments. Add the Arrow Root powder, I add about four tablespoons, Its just to make it less oily. If you add baking soda add as much as your heart desires, I added about a tablespoon to my husbands and daughters. After that you add whatever essential oils you want to smell like. I love the lavender. Remember to do your own research on everything going on YOUR body. Enjoy!
