Deodorant

While I had the ingredients out from making the toothpaste, I decided to make up some deodorant as well. Lately the stuff from the store hasn't been working as well and I blame it on our hot and humid Ozark summer. So far this deodorant has been working well but the real test will be when my husband tries it.

• Baking soda helps deodorize.
• Cornstarch helps with miusture.
• Coconut oil also deodorizes and holds everything together.
• Tea Tree oil is an anti-fungal.

1/4 cup Baking Soda
1/4 cup Cornstarch
4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
10 drops Tea Tree Oil

Mix up the baking soda and cornstarch first and then add in the coconut oil and tea tree oil one at a time.
I may also use lavender in the next batch for me and then maybe something more manly like peppermint or clove for my husband. You can either spoon the mixture into an empty deodorant tube or place in a small glass jar. You need only a small amount rubbed under your arms daily.

If you try this, let me know what you think! I would love to hear your comments and suggestions.
