Homemade Deodorant

Deodorant Recipe

5 tablespoons coconut oil

1/8 cup arrowroot powder

1/8 cup cornstarch

1/4 cup baking soda

and I add a few drops of tea tree oil for a nice smell

Mix the powders together in a jar and slowly add the coconut oil until you have a good consistency and powders are dissolved. Add a few drops of oil until it has a nice smell.

To use, scoop out a pea sized amount and rub between your fingers to melt and create a smooth texture.

Laundry Detergent

Here is my recipe for detergent

3.1oz Bar Ivory Soap (use any fragrance free mild soap)
1 cup Borax
1/2 cup Arm and Hammer Washing soda.

Grate bar soap (I use my smaller grater/zester thing)
and combine with other ingredients.

That is the basics. I usually quadruple the batch and store it in an old ice cream bucket.

Use one Tablespoon per large load
I use 1/4 tablespoon per load of cloth diapers
