Coconut Based Deordorant

I made the deodorant recipe I posted on Dec 10th.  It works great. There were no break outs (rashes) and best of all no body odor. ; )  I tweaked the recipe by adding beeswax to harden it. Its so warm here that with out the beeswax, its practically mush here & must be refrigerated. In the first batch I added lemon, grapefruit & basil essential oils for DH.  In the second batch I did for Emily, I added lemon & thieves essential oils. I did a batch for Joannah & I. I just added lemon & orange essential oils.  I poured them into empty deodorant stick containers & put them in the fridge to cool off quickly when first made.  I haven't gotten the exact ratios/measurements down yet. I will be more precise the next time I make it. It won't be until next month.
