🔥 How to Prepare (100 g batch)
- In a double boiler, melt together 40 g coconut oil, 30 g shea butter, and 10 g beeswax.
- Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly (below 45 °C).
- Stir in 10 g arrowroot powder until smooth and lump-free.
- Add 2 ml Sandalwood Extract, 1 ml Vetiver Extract, and 1 ml Neem Extract.
- Blend in 15–20 drops of essential oils (Tea Tree + Lavender + Lemongrass + Sandalwood).
- Pour into small glass or tin balm containers and let set at room temperature.
🌸 How to Use
- Take a pea-sized amount and warm it between fingertips.
- Apply gently to clean, dry underarms.
- Allow a few minutes before dressing; reapply during the day if needed.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In hot climates, refrigerate if balm softens. Shelf life ≈ 6 months.
💡 Pro Tips
- For sensitive skin, reduce Tea Tree oil or use only Lavender and Sandalwood oils.
- Add a pinch of Kaolin clay for a matte, silky finish.
- Use Arrowroot instead of Baking Soda to avoid irritation.
- Customize scent: floral (rose + geranium) or citrus (lemongrass + lime).
