- 2 Tbsp grated beeswax or beeswax beads
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp shea butter
- 4 tsp clay (Kaolin clay is very light colored, Bentonite is good too, but is darker and can stain.)
- 20-25 drops essential oil (carrot seed, ylang ylang, rosewood)
- Empty deodorant container
Mix coconut oil and beeswax in a pint jar and put in a double boiler on low heat, stirring often. When they are melted, add in the shea butter and stir gently, remove from the heat and continue melting. After the shea butter is melted, mix in the clay and whisk well until everything is combined. Add essential oils and stir until blended. (Try whipping it next time.) Place the jar into a cool water bath, and leave for 5 minutes or until it just begins to set. Using a rubber spatula (the kind with spoon) add the mixture into your deodorant container.
