Last
summer I attempted to make our own deodorant using this
recipe (an awesome blog by the way!) I really like this deodorant. Most commercial deodorants have way too many perfumes to them.
I had bought a small su.ave deodorant to take to the hospital with me in December. I used it once and kept wondering what the smell was that was bothering my nose...I finally realized it was the deodorant, in the trash that went.
Since I didn't take any pictures of making the deodorant last time I have a few to share with you here....
{ The ingredients are all things we carry in our store }
It makes enough to fill a standard sized deodorant container and another small baby food container; and it only took me 2 minutes to make. I keep them in the fridge so they're hard and go on the way "normal" deodorant does. I can't wait to take a shower and use my deodorant again {I've been out for about a month now...whoops!}

I'm trying to green my "beauty" routine one thing at a time. I'm working on "no poo" right now. When/if I get past this I may try the deodorant. I really like the "Crunchy Betty" blog for natural beauty stuff.
I admire you Jess. So many bloggers disappear after having kids and post once in a blue moon. You now have FOUR kids - and I am so happy to stay in the loop, see the babies' pics and hear how it's all going!!!
This does look easy, and I have coconut oil. I may have to try this. Though I like the anti-persperant in my current deoderant. Not sure if the natural deoderant would have the same action.
You are managing to feed, diaper, and hang out with 3 newborns and a toddler, and you still managed to find time to make your own deodorant? You really are my hero!
Can we see your recipe?! You've successfully convinced me to try, which I can assure you is an accomplishment. :)

Very easy! 5-6tbs coconut oil, and a 1/4 cup each baking soda and arrowroot or cornstarch
