Homemade Deodorant

I was driven to make some deodorant a couple weeks ago due to my stinky pits.

I haven't used the deodorant because it has yet to be a necessity again... Erik, on the other hand, uses it all the time. He finds that it gets rid of smells rather than just masking them. I think that means he likes it.

I'm not going to lie, I am glad he is getting use out of it, but I would sometimes rather my husband smell like Old Spice than lavender. I think it's time to find another scent.

Here is the recipe either way:

Homemade Deodorant

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
5 TBSP coconut oil
essential oil to scent to your liking (I used lavender)

• Mix the baking soda and arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
• Add the coconut oil and mash until well blended
• Add the essential oil and continue to mash
• Store in a covered glass container
