• 3 tablespoons shea butter
• 2 tablespoons cocoa butter
• 3 tablespoons baking soda
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 vitamin E gel caps
• 10 -20 drops essential oils

1. In a double boiler (or a glass measuring cup in a a pot of simmering water), melt the shea butter and cocoa butter.
2. Add the baking soda and arrowroot or cornstarch.
3. Puncture the vitamin E gel caps and squeeze the oil into the mixture.
4. Give it a good stir.
5. When liquefied, remove from the heat and pour into a 1/4 pint jar.
6. Stir in the essential oils.
7. Place in fridge for at least a few hours until solid.
8. Take it out and let it come to room temperature.
9. Do not store in fridge (vitamin E is a natural preservative).
10. The texture should be between a firm cream and a soft solid.
11. To use, scoop out a pea-size amount with your fingers and apply to your armpit.
12. A slightly wet armpit makes it easier to spread.
13. Makes enough for three odor-free months.
