Our next Hippy Weekend project was to make some non-toxic deodorant. This recipe is again, largely from the mymerrymessylife.com blog with some modifications. I would encourage our readers to please check out the mymerrymessylife.com blog to see this recipe without the modifications that we have made.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons beeswax (pastilles)
• ¾ cup arrowroot powder
• ¼ cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup coconut oil

1. Combine all the ingredients in a pan.

2. Melt and stir the ingredients on medium heat until fully combined. (You could add an essential oil after the ingredients have melted. We chose to not add a scent.)

3. Pour the contents of the pan into the plastic deodorant stick containers. (We purchased ours from amazon.com; however, you could recycle your used empty containers from commercial deodorants.)

4. Let the contents cool until firm.

This made 3 deodorant sticks.

Hippy Weekend Success!!!
