Essential Oils have changed my life. They have changed the lives of my husband, children, and pets too. Each new day brings a new use. It brings me great joy to see my family talk about the oils with the same fire in their eyes that I feel in my heart.

We have been working diligently to replace all of our toxic, store-bought products with all-natural products, made with essential oils. I have drastically cleaned up my beauty regimen, and my cleaning supplies. I love finding ways to clean up every aspect of our lifestyle. It has almost become a game to me. I pick up a product and my mind begins racing with ways I can replace it using oils and other natural products.

The cleaner I use every day is all-natural, non-toxic and you could drink it if you felt so inclined. I haven’t had any takers…yet! Not only am I ridding my home of toxic chemicals, but I am saving myself money in the process. It is far less expensive to make your own products than it is to buy them. So, it’s a win/win! Want to get started on your own essential oils journey? Start here.

1/4 Cup Organic Shea Butter

Instructions

Melt coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted and combined.

Remove from heat and add baking soda. I like to use a rubber spatula or whisk for this step.
Mix well
Add essential oils and pour into a glass measuring cup with pour spout.

Pour mixture into twist-up deodorant tubes.
Allow the natural deodorant to solidify, then use!

Notes

HELPFUL HINT: As an alternative to a double boiler, You can put the coconut oil and shea butter in a large glass jar and place it directly in 1-2 inches of hot water to melt it.
