DIY Aloe Vera Deodorant Recipe

What you need

• 4 tbsp shea butter (where to get it)
• 5 tbsp arrow root powder (where to get it)
• 1 tbsp and 1 tsp baking soda (where to get it)
• 1 tbsp aloe vera gel (where to get it)
• 5 drops tea tree essential oil (where to get it)
• 5 drops lavender essential oil (where to get it)
• Small pan and wooden spoon for mixing
• Deodorant tube (where to get it) or clean container (where to get it)

Directions

1. Place 4 tbsp of shea butter in a small pan on the stove top.
2. Gently melt it down over a low heat. Don’t turn up the heat because we don’t want the nutrients to be destroyed with high heat.
3. Once melted, turn off the heat and add the aloe vera gel, baking soda and arrow root powder.
4. Stir well to form a creamy paste. If you’re aloe vera gel isn’t mixing well, use a hand mixer or whisk to blend it up evenly. Lastly stir in the tea tree and lavender essential oils.
5. Pour your creamy mixture into deodorant tubes or a glass container. If using a plastic container, then first completely cool your deodorant for 10 minutes. It will become more firm but you can still scrape it into the container.
6. That’s it! Your DIY aloe vera deodorant is ready! Let it set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before use! If storing in a container, scoop out just a pea-sized amount each and apply on clean underarms.
