I made the homemade deodorant a couple days ago...while watching a show online....I just put 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup arrowroot into a bowl, then I mixed in a couple spoonfuls of coconut oil. I kept mixing and mixing the oil into the powder mixture and the oil soon softened and mixed to a goopy texture. It was liquidy enough to pour into an old deodorant container, and then it hardened by the time our show was over. Brent laughed at me when I told him I was making deodorant from this powdered mixture I got from my kitchen cupboards...until he felt/saw the final product in it's container...I got a "wow"...which meant that it looked like the real thing! So far I've used it for several days and have liked it a lot. It softens pretty quick when I apply it, so it's easy to put on, though sometimes too much comes off if i roll it down too far. Aside from the initial coconut smell, I have not noticed any body odor! I'm going to put it to the test though....
It felt really good to make it knowing what's in it....so give it a try during one of your favorite shows....it's worth your time!
Tenisha made it too, and gives a good report so far, right T?
