Okay, you could eat this if you really wanted to. That's why it's okay to put on your skin. I lifted this recipe from Lindsay's Passionate Homemaking blog, and it works very well for both New Daddy and myself. He likes it much better than his storebought deodorant. The texture is almost exactly the same as what you'd find at the store, and we've even ordered deodorant containers to put our new concoction into.
Ingredients:
5-6 Tbsp Coconut oil
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch
Combine equal portions of baking soda & arrowroot powder. Then slowly add coconut oil and work it in with a spoon until it maintains the substance you desire. It should be about the same texture as the store bought kind, solid but able to be applied easily. You can either scoop this into your old dispensers or place in a small container with lid and apply with fingers with each use. After applying the product, you can just rub the remains into your hands as a lotion! This recipe lasts about 3 months for two people with regular daily use.
