• While still warm, pour the mixture into deodorant containers. You can also pour it into tins, or pour any excess into storage containers, for applying the deodorant by hand.
• Allow the mixture to cool off and set without disturbing it. Once it has set, you can use it immediately!
• • Matcha is optional for antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties and a bit of colour. Charcoal powder can be used for absorbency
  • Use the essential oils of your choice for scent. (Or leave them out completely for unscented.)
