Preparations

• Disinfect all your equipment before starting. You can boil some of your equipment (like the double boiler, glass cups, spoons), and use a solution of 1 liter of water with 1/2 cup of bleach, for items that are not heat-resistant (like the milk frother, plastic cups or the lotion containers)
  
• Assemble the ingredients and equipment first.
  
• Measure the oil and the beeswax to a double boiler (you can also use a metal jug). Weight the kaolin clay into a cup to use later.
  30 g refined or organic coconut oil, 25 g beeswax
  
• Fill the pan with water to use as a double boiler. Turn the heat on and place the double boiler inside the pan with water.
  
• Let the beeswax and coconut oil melt completely (beeswax melts at ~60ºC)
  
• Turn off the heat and remove the double boiler from the water. Add the kaolin clay and mix well.
  8 g kaolin clay
  
• Let the mixture cool down a bit then add the essential oil and mix again.
  8 drops essential oil lavender
  
• Before you pour your mixture into the container, it is very important to make sure they are desinfected. Use a solution of water and bleach to sterilize your container, and make sure they are absolutely dry - water can create bacteria and fungus, something you don't want on your deodorant.
  
• Pour the mixture in the deodorant containers. If the misture hardens before you can pour everything, you can reheat it again.
  
• Wait 1-2 hours for the mixture to solidify completely
  
• Make sure you clean up the wax from the utensils while it's in liquid form, with a kitchen paper towel. If needed, reheat the utensils.
