SHTF: How to Make Homemade Deodorant / Antiperspirant



6-8 Tbsp Coconut Oil (solid state)
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1/4 Cup Corn Starch

After using this, I have to say it's quite effective both as an antiperspirant and deodorant.
The antiperspirant properties seem to come from the corn starch and the deodorant properties come from the baking soda and coconut oil (coconut oil is a natural antibacterial).

What I do notice with this is that it needs to be applied more often than you commercial variety (at least with me). If I have a very active day I'll need to apply it more than just in the morning. Enjoy.PhysiciansCare Personal Emergency First Aid Kit, Back Pack (Google Affiliate Ad)
