I’ve been using this natural deodorant for almost 10 years now and am so grateful that I made the switch from the nasty store aerosol deodorant.
I wrote this recipe on my blog years ago as part of another post but it’s hard to find and people are constantly asking me for the recipe.

It’s a very simple recipe and takes only a few minutes to whip up.
A little goes a long way, so one jar will last for a long time.
1/4 cup bicarb soda (baking soda)
1/4 cup cornflour
4 tablespoons organic virgin cold pressed coconut oil
10 drops essential oil (optional) My favourite is lavender.
Mix all ingredients together until creamy. If the oil is solid it can be melted with heat to combine with the dry ingredients more readily. After your daily shower, just rub about a choc dot sized amount of paste onto the armpit area. In hot weather, your deodorant will melt unless kept in a cool spot, I keep mine at the bottom of the cupboard in the ensuite which is a very cool room so mine only melts on really hot days. If it does melt, it won’t affect the quality, just give it a stir and pop it in the fridge until solid again.
