Deodorant Recipe #2 (stick version)

Why would you need to make your own deodorant when you can easily purchase it at the store when you buy your weekly groceries? Deodorant is a product we use everyday and a staple in most peoples homes... this staple contains ingredients that have been connected to breast cancer and Alzheimers...


This recipe is straight from the pages of my book: ApotheKayla Year One and I have decided to share it with you here because it is such an awesome recipe and one that I know you all will love!

Lurking in the ingredient list of the average deodorant are harmful substances such as aluminum, parabens, propylene glycol, phthalates, & triclosan. Read more about why I quit using regular deodorant on my scoop-able deodorant recipe by clicking here.

On to the good stuff!! The recipe:

Ingredients:

I made three batches at one time (note the three Tablespoons of beeswax).

 -1 Tablespoon beeswax
 -2 Tablespoons Shea butter
 -2 Tablespoons coconut oil
 -2 Table spoons baking soda
 -2 teaspoons vitamin E oil
 -10 drops of essential oils

Directions:

1.On a double boiler or small crockpot melt down beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil. Stirring occasionally.
2.Remove from heat and stir in baking soda a little at a time, then add essential oils, and vitamin E oil.
3.Place into the container of your choice (I found mine at a thrift store and they are actually reuseable twist up push-pop containers, but you can also order deodorant containers online), let cool, and enjoy!

Notes:
You may choose any essential oils you prefer. Lime is a natural odor eliminator, or wild orange would smell nice.
