Make my own natural deodorant

I’ve been making my own natural deodorant for years because I believe it’s a great way to avoid putting unnecessary chemicals on my body. I usually prefer a liquid consistency, which I can apply like a lotion on my armpits, and I’ve been experimenting with this recipe. My last batch was a little too runny, so I am trying this new version to make it ticker.

Measure and mix dry ingredients. - Corn starch - 2 tablespoons - Arrow Root - 2 tablespoons - Baking soda - 1.5 teaspoon - Bentonite clay powder- 1 teaspoon (optional)

Add liquid ingredients. - Aloe Vera - 100ml - Vegetable Glycerin - 1 tablespoon - Tea tree oil - 1.5 tablespoons

Label and add essential oil of your preference as fragrance. Tea tree oil is a potent antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral) which in this case acts as antibacterial combating bad odor cause for bacterial. Tea tree oil does have a nice fresh/minty fragrance but I like to add a few drops of lavender to add more herbal and sweet tones. I label my jar with the date to keep track when my batch was made.

I reused a clean old essential oil dropper to keep my daily use deodorant, and I store the rest of deodorant in the jar in the fridge. Whenever I use up my small daily use bottle of deodorant, I just refill it and put the rest again in the fridge. This recipe should last around 2 months for 2 people. Super easy and quick to make and you know exactly what you are putting on your body.
