• any essential oils of your preference (optional) - lime e.o., lemon e.o, tangerine e.o., tea tree e.o., 

Directions:

1- Place the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 20 - 30 seconds or melt in a small pot on stove until the oil is liquefied.

2- In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda and cornstarch

3- Slowly add the liquefied coconut oil to the baking soda and cornstarch. Stir together until well-blended. It should now have the consistency of a thick paste.

4- Add essential oils - optional. Some opt no essential oils as some can irritate skins. (lemon e.o., lime e.o., tea tree e.o., tangerine e.o., lavender e.o. - to your preference)

5- Rubberband the wax/aluminum to bottom of the toilet paper roll. Turn it over. Pour the ingredients in the toilet paper roll. Place it in a glass or container to hold it up straight. Freeze. 

6- When solid, remove the wax paper or aluminum foil, and you have a stick of deodorant! Tear off the cardboard as you use it. Store in fridge.
