Homies, I have a confession. Regular, store bought deodorants/antiperspirants make me stinkkkk. I never had a problem using them until recently. But, something has changed and my body is now rejecting them. More importantly, all of the chemicals (mostly aluminum) they put in those store bought favorites are BAD FOR YOU (for more info, click here ). Between dancing, yoga and running my life is pretty active. So naturally, I was freaking out at the thought of maximum strength products not doing their job. But then I thought: there must be a way to stay stink free in a healthy, holistic way.  This deodorant works even when I’m working out. Don’t worry. I haven’t stepped off the reservation. It works, I swear!  So go ahead and save time, money and your health by making your own.

Ingredients:

6 TBSP Coconut Oil

4TBSP Baking Soda

4 TBSP Arrowroot Powder or Cornstarch

Optional: Essential oil (lavender or tea tree oil)

Directions: 

1. Mix the baking soda and arrowroot powder together

2. Mash in the coconut oil and mix until everything is one cohesive paste. The paste will harden

3. I store mine in a mini mason jar, but you can use whatever you want.
