Why recepie famous for?
This is a deodorant only, and it will not keep you from sweating (though it does do a good job of absorbing most of it, and certainly keeps you from stinking).
Ingredients
2 heaping Tbsp. beeswax pellets (pellets are easier to measure)
5 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 Tbsp. shea butter
1/4 cup cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for very sensitive skin)
1/4 cup aluminum free baking soda
10-15 drops tea tree essential oil
10-15 drops lavender essential oil
10-15 drops of other essential oils (optional; used for scenting purposes)
2-3 new or used deodorant tubes (cleaned and twisted all the way back down)
Instructions
1. Melt beeswax in a double boiler (I just put a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water).2. Add shea butter and coconut oil and heat until just melted. Stir occasionally. I like to use a wooden stick to stir because the beeswax will stick to a spoon and make it hard to clean.
3. Remove from heat and add cornstarch and baking soda. Stir until lumps are gone and the texture is smooth.
4. Add essential oils and stir until well mixed.5. Pour into old deodorant tubes and let sit a few hours before adding the tops. You will want to fill them until they seem to almost overflow because they will fall down a good bit once cooled. You can also fill them half way and let them sit 5 minutes before filling the rest of the way. This will ensure you get them as full as possible.
