1 tbsp Shea butter<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 tbsp coconut oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 tbsp arrowroot powder<\/strong><\/p>\n

1-2 tbsp baking soda<\/strong><\/p>\n

2-3 drops tea tree oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

5-10 drops of essential oils of your choice (I used 3 drops peppermint and 5 drops bergamot)<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 sanitized small glass jar that you’ll use to store the deodorant<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Add Shea butter to glass jar and heat until softened (I microwaved for 20 seconds – feel free to use a double boiler; I was too lazy to do this\u00a0when I made it)<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Add all ingredients except for essential oils and stir, making sure the powder and baking soda are mixed thoroughly. Add more baking soda, if desired (I prefer a thicker paste consistency)<\/p>\n

3. Gradually stir in\u00a0essential oils to achieve the desired strength of scent<\/p>\n

Your homemade deo is now\u00a0ready to keep your pits company! The tea tree oil and coconut oil act as natural preservatives but make sure to use within 2 weeks so the deodorant stays fresh and effective.<\/p>\n
