Homemade organic deodorant

Well, it finally happened....I made my own deodorant. As you probably already know, most antiperspirants/deodorants contain some pretty harsh stuff, such as: aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex and many other fun names which are difficult to pronounce. To put it simple, you don't want those ingredients in your armpit, being that many lymph nodes and glands are there and nearby, which means it goes directly into your body, as most things do through the bodies' largest organ: the skin. Some of the common chemicals used in your average deodorant are actually known carcinogens and now, thankfully, there are many studies coming out providing us as the consumer, with valuable information on what to avoid. Even if you have already been using a 'natural' deodorant, you may be tired of the hefty price tag, like myself and so I decided to make my own. This DIY recipe is easy and was inspired by my friend, Brandy Lynn on her blog: amindfulmantra.com 


To make you need: 1 empty deodorant container or small jar, 1/4 c (melted) coconut oil, 1 Tbsp baking soda, 1/8 c cornstarch, 1/8 c arrowroot powder, 3 drops each of the following essential oils: lavender and sandalwood. You can omit the essential oils or add ones you like. Also, place in refrigerator for a few mins to set and then you're good to go! If you live in a hot climate or keep your house very warm you may want to keep it in the refrigerator to avoid melting.
