In order to make this incredibly simple recipe you'll need Organic Coconut oil, Arrowroot Powder (or Cornstarch), and Tea Tree essential Oil . Here's what you do and why it works:
Melt 2 TBSP coconut Oil in a double boiler gently
Add 4 TBSP Arrowroot Powder to melted oil (use a sifter if possible to avoid clumps)
Whisk vigorously
Let cool until close to getting hard again and then add 15 drops of Tea Tree oil.
To apply take a dime sized portion on your finger and put under each arm pit.
This recipe is free of baking soda, harmful chemicals and metals, and give you excellent sweat and odor protection due to the mild anti bacterial power of Coconut oil, the stronger anti bacterial and anti fungal power of Tea Tree oil, and the moisture absorption of the arrowroot powder or cornstarch. Enjoy this recipe, which I have used for years, that costs mere pennies compared to much more expensive store bought brands.
