Bye Bye antiperspirants with Aluminum!

After reading many articles/posts like this one, and doing lots of research about the dangers of aluminum in antiperspirants like: Antiperspirants have been said to cause problems with sweat glands after years of use, can sometimes cause discoloration in the skin and some have even linked the use of antiperspirants to breast cancer (note that the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society both dispute this claim, however they can not prove it doesn't either). The biggest claim against antiperspirants have been the connection between them and Alzheimer's Disease. I decided this weekend to make some homemade deodorant and it was super easy and super fast!

These are the ingredients you need:

5-6 Tbsp Coconut oil (I used 5)
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch ( I used the cornstarch)

You can read here how to make it!
