Recipe: “Homemade Deodorant”
Ingredients:
¼ cup baking soda
¼ coconut oil 
¼ cup arrowroot starch/flour 

**If you don't have arrowroot starch, you can use corn starch instead (Note: I have not tested this recipe with cornstarch but it is what the original recipe said.)
Combine ingredients and store in a sealed jar/container. Apply a small amount daily. Lasts 3-4 weeks. – You have to mix it for a while until it becomes a paste (depending on the temperature of the room)
Another note: You can add shea butter to make it softer for people with more sensitive skin.
