The pits

I have been on a quest for the perfect deodorant.

 

I wanted something natural...THAT WORKS!

 

 

You just never know what's in my mixing bowl.

 

I stumbled across this recipe for homemade deodorant.

 

Non-Toxic Lasting Organic Deodorant

 

6-8 Tbsp Coconut oil (solid state)

1/4 cup baking soda

1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch

 

Combine equal portions of baking soda and arrowroot powder.

 

Slowly add coconut oil and work it in with a spoon or hand blender until it maintains a firm but pliable texture. It should be about the same texture as commercial deodorant, solid but able to be applied easily. If it is too wet, add further arrowroot powder/cornstarch to thicken.

 

You can either scoop this recipe into your old deodorant dispensers or place in a small container with lid and apply with fingers with each use. Makes about 1 cup. This recipe lasts about  3 months for two people with regular daily use.

Verdict: I love it! It works! It's all natural...

and organic.

 

The summer months will be the true test of course...
