DIY deodorant

Ingredients

The essentials

  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 drops tea tree essential oil

Optional

  • 2 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 2 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions

  • Mix baking soda & coconut oil in a jar
  • In order for you to mix it well the coconut oil needs to become liquid. You can put it in the microwave for a bit or put it over a candle, but I simply put it on my wall heater for a bit.
  • Add the essential oils and start mixing. Mmmmm smells delicious!
    It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes of mixing before it’s ready.

Notes

  • Start with the baking soda. That way you can use the same tablespoon for the coconut oil (= less dishes).
  • I use a 740 Weck Mold Jar and just double the recipe so I have more.
  • I find that a fork works best to mix everything together.
  • If you make this in the morning, before you put on your deodorant then you can use the leftovers on the fork so as not to waste anything!
