DIY Healthy and Natural Coconut Oil Deodorant Recipe

-

Deodorant is used by most people everyday and most of us can’t live without it.

Unfortunately, most deodorants on the market contain toxins that are dangerous to health. Aluminum is a common ingredient used in most antiperspirants, which has been associated with breast cancer and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Coconut oil is an excellent product to use as a base for deodorants because it kills fungi, yeasts and bacteria. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) helps neutralize odors, arrowroot powder helps absorb moisture and added essential oils are also antibacterial.
