Deodorant
This deodorant is really easy to make and I find it really effective. Two points to note are that coconut oil is liquid in warm temperatures so if you go somewhere hot you need to keep it in the fridge and second it is an oil so I recommend letting it soak into your skin a little before putting on a thin material top that is tight under your armpit. Otherwise it is fab and I highly recommend it.
Get a solid deodorant stick, throw out the deodorant and wash the container, you can then use this to put your deodorant in.
This will make 2-3 deodorant sticks.
Mix all together, put it into your container and that's it. Easy!
According to some sources the ingredients work because....
Coconut: Antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, moisturising.
Arrowroot: Helps absorb perspiration and draw toxins out.
Baking soda: Helps keep bacteria from growing. Deodorising. Some people may find this a bit irritating if that's the case, use less of it in your mixture.
Essential Oils: These oils smell great and are also antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-fungal.
