Add essential oils: Carefully add your chosen essential oil blend.

Tips:
Patch test: Before applying to your underarms, test a small amount on your inner wrist to check for any skin irritation.
Adjust consistency: If the deodorant is too thick, add a little more coconut oil. If it's too thin, add a bit more arrowroot powder.
Store in a cool, dry place: This will help to extend the shelf life of your deodorant.
