-5 drops of tea tree essential oil (preservative and anti-bacterial)

-5 drops of essential oil of palmarosa, lemon or other oils that please you and can be used on the skin* (perfume)

Put the product in a small airtight jar and place it in the refrigerator overnight until it “set”. It will become creamy after “hardening” then keep it in a small corner of your bathroom.

To further improve conservation you can add a few drops of vitamin E

Use :

Every morning, take a small amount of your deodorant and spread under the armpits. It will absorb perspiration thanks to the “buffering” power of bicarbonate and starch, it will moisturize your skin thanks to coconut oil and mask bad odors thanks to essential oils.

This deodorant is naturally preserved thanks to the antibacterial effect of tea tree essential oil and vitamin E.
