This natural deodorant contains shea butter and coconut oil known for their moisturizing and antimicrobial properties.

  1. Melt the beeswax and shea butter in a double boiler.(2 minutes)
  2. Add in the rest of the ingredients one by one, stirring constantly.(5 minutes)
  3. Transfer to a glass jar and set it aside for an hour. Then give it a mix to make sure all of the ingredients are well distributed. Set it aside to set for a few more hours or overnight. Enjoy!

Apply to clean and dry armpits once or twice a day, or as needed. It may take a few days before the body gets used to this natural homemade deodorant. You may experience mild stinging sensation from magnesium oil, which goes away over time.
