Thought I would share my deodorant recipe, which I love!

1/2 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 tablespoon of arrowroot powder
10 drops each of whatever essential oils you like
I use tea tree, lavender and geranium
Add the coconut oil, beeswax and melt over very low heat
Once melted add baking soda, arrowroot powder and mix
Then you add the oils!
You can by empty deodorant sticks on Amazon or you can just pour into a jar.
