Ingredients

2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp shea butter
1 tbsp beeswax
1 tbsp baking soda if you are sensitive to baking soda, omit and use an extra tbsp of bentonite clay
2 tbsp arrowroot powder
1.5 tbsp bentonite clay
6 drops essential oils (such as citronella, lavender, or tea tree)

Instructions

In a double boiler, add coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir until beeswax and shea butter are in liquid form.
Remove from heat, then add baking soda, bentonite clay, arrowroot powder, and essential oils. Mix well.
Pour liquid mixture into a silicone muffin mold or a 5 oz. container, such an empty deodorant container.
Let cool down to solidify for about 2-3 hours. The beeswax will help to keep it in solid form to use as a traditional deodorant.
If using a silicone mold, pop out the DIY natural deodorant solids and store in a reusable container or bag to use at home or on the go.
