Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • used deodorant stick or a small jar to store the deodorant

Materials

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 4 drops Purification essential oils blend optional
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa or mango butter optional

Instructions

  • Ensure the baking soda is finely ground; if not, use a grinder to refine it. Combine it thoroughly with cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
  • Gradually pour in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and mix well using a fork.
  • Add a few drops of essential oil and blend again.
  • Finally, add the remaining coconut oil and mix until the mixture forms a smooth, paste-like texture.
  • Use a teaspoon to transfer the mixture into an old deodorant stick or a small jar, pressing it firmly as you go.
  • Chill it in the fridge for a few minutes, then store it in a cool place to prevent the coconut oil from melting. For an extra refreshing feeling, keep it in the fridge and enjoy the cooling sensation with every use.
