Ditch the Chemicals! DIY 3-Ingredient Natural Deodorant

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup Baking Soda (odor neutralizer)

  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch (moisture absorber)

  • 2-4 Tbsp Coconut Oil (antibacterial base)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the baking soda and cornstarch in a bowl.

  2. Add the coconut oil. If your coconut oil is solid, melt it gently first for easier mixing.

  3. Stir until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Adjust the coconut oil until you reach your desired consistency (more for a softer cream, less for a firmer paste).

  4. Transfer to a small glass jar with a lid.

  5. To Use: Scoop out a pea-sized amount with your finger and rub it into your clean underarm. A little goes a long way!

Pro Tip: For a nice scent and extra germ-fighting power, add 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil (like Tea Tree or Lavender) before stirring!
