Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 oz coconut oil 2 tbsp
- 0.5 oz mango butter 2 tbsp
- 0.5 oz beeswax pellets 2 tbsp
- 5 drops vitamin E oil
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 15-30 drops Essential oils of choice see my favorite blends above
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil, mango butter, and beeswax in a double boiler. I make my own by placing a glass bowl over a pot of water.
- Remove from heat and add in vitamin E oil, arrowroot powder, and essential oils.
- Carefully pour it into your empty deodorant container while it's still melted.
- Once the mixture sets up and becomes solid, it is ready to use. This may take several hours at room temperature or an hour in the refrigerator.
Notes
If you are storing your homemade deodorant in a deodorant container, you may want to keep it in the refrigerator because the coconut oil will soften at temps much over 76°
