If there’s one natural product you should be using, it’s deodorant. Do a basic internet search and you’ll find all kinds of inconclusive info about antiperspirant and deodorant being linked to breast cancer. It’s neither proven, nor disproven. In that case, why take a chance using the store bought brands when you can whip up all-natural lavender deodorant! This recipe makes enough deodorant to last 3-4 months in as little as 30 minutes! You can apply it with your fingers, or fill up an old empty deodorant stick.

If you’re a big fan of lavender, you’ll also love my lavender foot soak!

Ingredients

3 tbsp virgin coconut oil2 tbsp shea butter2 tbsp arrowroot powder3 tbsp baking soda5 drops 100% tea tree oil5 drops lavender essential oil (or scent of your choice)

Instructions

Using a double boiler or a pot with a heat safe bowl on top, melt the coconut oil and shea butter together. Stir or whisk it until it’s combined and no solid pieces remain.Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in arrowroot powder and baking soda. Once combined and smooth, drop in your tea tree oil and lavender oil, and whisk a few more times.Pour the mixture into your desired containers. TIP: clean out an old deodorant stick (since you’re not going to use that brand anymore!) and pour the mixture into it just below the top.Place the containers filled with the mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes just to solidify it. It will remain solid at room temperature once it’s settled.

Notes

tip:

for a masculin scented deodorant use pine, cedarwood, or rosemary essential oils.
