Odors anyone

I decided to make my own natural deodorant - again. Back in the early 70's we used just plain baking soda but I received complains from certain family members - to gritty etc etc. So we switched back to commercial ones for a few decades. Now, being a little more concerned with what gets put on my skin, after all it is our largest organ, I am back to making my own. This time it's a little more upscale.

Thanks to my soap making I have all the ingredients needed. It's just a matter of "doing it".

1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch or arrow root powder
MIX WELL TOGETHER

Melt in a glass measuring cup 1/4 cup coconut oil - I prefer the 92 degree one.

Add to coconut oil essential oils of your preference.
I used rosemary, lavender, and orange. a few drops of each.

Now add your dry ingredients to the melted oil. Mix well.

Containers: You can use an empty twist up deodorant container. I use a small cosmetic container and apply with my fingers. The reason I like the container with a screw on top is because I don't need to keep it refrigerated during the warm weather. With the twist up container you would need to keep it cold because the coconut oil will soften at either 76 or 92 degrees, depending on which one you used.
