Homemade Deodorant Recipe with Rosemary, Lemongrass, and Coconut Oil

I have linked to the products from my affiliate partners that I personally recommend.

• 2 tbsp. beeswax granules (I get my waxes from Mountain Rose Herbs)
• 1¼ tbsp. shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, etc. (I get my butters from Mountain Rose Herbs)
• 1¼ tbsp. coconut oil
• ½ tbsp. bentonite clay (I get my cosmetic clays from Mountain Rose Herbs)
• ½ tbsp. baking soda or arrowroot
• 10 drops lemongrass essential oil (this is the brand I recommend)
• 6 drops rosemary essential oil (this is the brand I recommend)

1. In a double boiler, or a small saucepan over very low heat, combine the beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter until melted completely and mixed well.

2. Remove mixture from heat and pour liquid into a glass or plastic container. Whisk in the baking soda (or arrowroot) and bentonite clay until well combined. Note: You want to make sure the bentonite clay does not touch any metal, as it can negatively react with the metal.

3. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes and then stir in your essential oils.

4. Take an old (clean) deodorant stick and make sure the plunger thing is twisted all the way down. Carefully pour your warm mixture into the container.

5. Let sit with the cap off until it has cooled completely. Then, use as normal.
