Homemade Deodorant

I'm going to be trying to make lots of homemade things. Instead of leaving up like 17 tabs, I think I'll just consolidate all of them onto this here blog. And then I'll tell you how they all worked out!

The first task: homemade deodorant.

I have discovered three different recipes. I don't know which ones work. But here are the recipes! 

Recipe 1
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 Tbs baking soda (use less if sensitive skin)
1/3 arrow root powder
10-15 drops of essential oils
small mixing bowl/spoon
small container to contain

1. Mix coconut oil, soda, and arrow root in bowl. Make into a cream-like mixture.
2. Mix in essential oils. 
3. Put mixture in container.
4. Put on your pits so you don't stink.

Recipe 2
2 1/2 Tbs coconut oil
2 1/2 Tbs shea butter
1/4 cup arrow root powder
2 Tbs baking soda
6 drops lavender essential oil
6 drops grapefruit essential oil
2 drops tea tree essential oil (optional - some are sensitive) (tea tree helps fight bacteria, therefore that's why it's included)

1. Put coconut oil/shea butter in glass bowl and put in a saucepan.
2. Fill saucepan with water (to surround bowl) and bring water to a boil.
3. Make sure to stir shea/coconut as it begins to be heated. Until it all melts.
4. Once all melted, add arrow root powder, baking soda, and essential oils.
5. Place all in jar and let cool until reaches solid state.
6. Cover and use (to use, wet underarms, scoop out pea-sized amount, apply once a day [or more, if needed]).

Recipe 3
3 Tbs baking soda
5 Tbs arrowroot powder
6 Tbs shea butter
30-50 drops essential oil (tea tree, frankincense, lavender, patchouli are good options)

1. In big bowl, mix soda and arrow root. 
2. Using hands or fork, work in shea butter. It'll look like crumbly dough. 
3. Add in essential oils and work together using hand mixer.
4. Transfer to clean jar. Use (a little goes a long way).
