Make your own solid deodorant!

Tools:

• Small spoon,
• Small mason jar or container,
• Small drinking glass,
• 3-4" Strainer,
• Small pot,

Recipe:

• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp herbal infusion of (geranium leaves, cinnamon, basil, chamomile, mint)
• 3 tbsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 10-15 drops of pure lavender essential oil or pure tea tree essential oil.

Directions:

1. Bring plant material on stove in water to boil then let steep 5 minutes; strain.
2. Pour 1 tbsp of hot herbal infusion over 2 tbsp solid coconut oil to melt; mix together well in your drinking glass. Set aside.
3. Equally mix in the mason jar or small container 3 tbsp of baking soda and 3 tbsp of cornstarch. For sensitive skin, reduce to: 2 tbsp baking soda, 4 tbsp cornstarch.
4. Add in 10-15 drops of either lavender or tea tree pure essential oil
5. Mix cornstarch, baking soda, and pure essential oil together well.
6. Slowly stir in coconut oil and herbal infusion mixture. All of the liquid may not be needed, so do this in parts, but keep an eye on the deodorant formation. Too much water will make it runny, too little will make it powdery. Focus on the coconut oil, as it hardens the mixture at room temperature.
7. Let the deodorant settle and form for 10-20 minutes, and enjoy when needed.
