Unbelievable but true, the best deodorant is homemade from coconut oil.
You only need two ingredients: coconut oil and baking soda.
If necessary, an essential fragrance oil.
And that's how it works.
You need for production:
100 grams of coconut oil
100 grams of baking soda
A fragrance oil of your choice, e.g., lemon oil
a small pot
a glass jar with a screw lid, max. 500ml
Add 100 grams of coconut oil to the jar.
Gently heat the jar of coconut oil in a water bath until it is liquid.
Then add the 100 grams of baking soda to the warmed coconut oil and stir.
Allow the coconut oil baking soda mixture to cool to room temperature.
Then add 20-30 drops of the fragrance oil.
Important: The melting point of coconut oil is 23-24 degrees.
The coconut oil will then be creamy and needs to be stirred again so that the baking soda doesn't sink to the bottom and mixes well with the coconut oil.
You can also pour the deodorant oil into small jars. Stir well again. Done.
Coconut oil as skin care:
Rarely is there a natural product that can be used as effectively as coconut oil for body care. It's a wonderful support for the entire body. (For the face, we recommend avocado, almond, or moringa oil.) Coconut oil is easily absorbed, non-greasy, yet softens the skin and protects against dryness.

As a body scrub, simply mix coconut oil with salt or sugar. A natural way to remove dead skin cells.
Oil pulling: Put up to one tablespoon of coconut oil into your mouth, depending on your taste. Hold the coconut oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. Suck and pull the coconut oil from side to side, through your teeth. Then spit out the coconut oil.
