This basic deodorant recipe is effective, super-frugal and non toxic!
What You Will Need:
- Empty deodorant stick
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp grated beeswax
- 5 drops tea tree oil
- 20 drops fragrance oils. We recommend: Apricot Peach, Island Hop, or Sunflower
Instructions:
- Begin by melting coconut oil and beeswax together over a double boiler. Rest a heat-proof bowl inside a small saucepan of water and heat it gently, stirring constantly, until the beeswax is melted.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Stir it all together. At this point, you’ll have a runny paste or slurry. This will change quickly.
- Work quickly: pour your deodorant slurry into your empty deodorant stick. By the end of this step, you may have to scrape the last of the paste into your container, push it down, and smooth the top. That’s how quickly it begins to solidify at room temperature!
