...what you put on your skin should also be edible since it gets absorbed into your body, don’t you think?

• lotions
• tooth powder
• bath salts and more....

Below is a recipe for a nice smelling and effective deodorant cream that is fun and super easy to make.

Deodorant Cream (aka Funk Butter)

2 parts Baking Soda
2 parts Arrowroot powder (or cornstarch if you cannot find arrowroot)
2 parts Shea Butter
1 part Sweet Almond Oil (or another carrier oil)
Essential Oil (I used lavender)
1 part Kaolin (white) Clay (optional)
Small jars

Directions: Stir all ingredients (except the essential oils) over low heat until a smooth cream forms. Take the mixture off the heat and add your essential oils. You do not want the essential oils to be added when the mixture is really hot since they are so volatile and they will evaporate. Spoon the mixture into small clean jars. Let cool.
