Diatomaceous Earth
Ingredients
1/4 cup of our food grade Diatomaceous earth
3/4 cup of **natural starch powder
1/2 cup of virgin coconut oil [softened]
10-20 drops of essential oil [optional]
non-metal bowl
non-metal fork/spoon/spatula
non-metal container
Directions
In a non-metal bowl, with a non-metal fork/spoon/spatula, mix the ingredients together until smooth. Using your non-metal fork/spoon/spatula, move the mixture over into a non-metal container for storage. I recommend you make sure your non-metal container stays in a cool place, so it doesn’t liquify [unless that's your preference]. To use your homemade deodorant, use two fingers to rub the mixture under your arms.
