DIY Deodorant {No more toxic ingredients!}

With all the chemicals in products these days one of the best ways of avoiding them is making things yourself. My goal is to go completely chemical free here is my recipe for DIY Deodorant:

Ingredients: 

1. Organic Coconut oil (4 Tablespoons)
2. Organic Root Oil or Organic Corn Starch (1/4 cup)
3. Organic Baking Soda (1/4 cup)
4. Lavender or peppermint (or other scent) essential oil (15-20 drops)

 

How To: 

Step 1. Mix together Baking Soda and Organic Root Oil (or corn starch) in a small bowl
Step 2. Add in 4 tablespoons of Coconut Oil and mix until a sticky like texture (shown in picture on the left)
Step 3. Add 15-20 drops of your choice of essential oil and mix well.
Step 4. Find a jar or use an empty (or almost empty) deodorant case (shown in picture on the right). The texture will be soft for a bit, but will harden as long as it is not stored in too warm of a room.
