Ingredients

15g of Beeswax (or Candelilla Wax)

25g of Mango Butter

25g of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

33g of White Kaolin Clay

15 drops of Organic Orange Essential Oil

10 drops of Organic Black Pepper Essential Oil


Time to Make: Prep time: 5 minutes. Make time: 20 minutes

You will need: heatproof glass jug, spatula for mixing, 60ml cardboard tube for your finished product

Method

1. In a double boiler melt the wax, mango butter and coconut oil.

2. Add the kaolin clay and stir thoroughly until all is well combined. 

Tip: You can also add 5g of magnesium hydroxide at this point. It helps to combat odour by neutralising odour-causing bacteria on skin's surface.

3. Add the essential  oils  and mix well (you may need to reheat it if it starts to solidify) 

4. Pour the mixture into the tube and let it set in the fridge.


Wait 24 hours before using deodorant to give the beeswax enough time to cure completely.


Always patch test before use!
