Did you know that you can easily make deodorant yourself? You then know for sure that it contains no harmful substances for your body and the environment.
• 4 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons baking soda
• few drops of vitamin E
• few drops of essential oil
First let the coconut oil become soft by placing the jar with coconut oil in some warm water. Coconut oil is antibacterial and gentle on the skin. Scoop 4 tablespoons into a sealable glass jar and stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot) and 3 tablespoons baking soda. Add a few drops of vitamin E (cares for your skin) and possibly a few drops of essential oil for the nice scent. For example, lavender oil. Let the mixture harden again by putting it in the fridge and stirring occasionally. Your deodorant is ready!
