• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of grated beeswax (or 15 ml (1 tbsp) of sunflower wax)
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of organic coconut oil
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of organic sunflower oil (Or another vegetable oil of your choice.)
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of organic shea butter (raw) (or mango butter)
• 60 ml (4 tbsp) of baking soda
• 60 ml (4 tbsp) of organic arrowroot starch
• 54 drops total of antiseptic essential oils ( organic palmarosa, clary sage, tea tree or eucalyptus globulus)

1. Melt the wax and fats in a double boiler.

2. When everything has melted, add the dry ingredients (baking soda and starch). Mix well and add the essential oils.

3. Remove from heat and quickly pour into the container(s) (the wax hardens quickly).

4. Place in the fridge for a few minutes.

Ta-da! Your deo is ready to use once hardened!

This recipe contains wax, which means you can pour the mixture into deodorant tubes.

However, its texture is still quite soft and it's easier to apply with your fingers (or apply with the tube then spread with your fingers). The equivalent of half a small pea per armpit only!

Precaution

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, some essential oils may be off limits. Refer to our guide on the use of essential oils during pregnancy and breastfeeding and, if needed, consult an aromatherapist to find out which essential oils you can use.
