  2. Stir well until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  3. Place a glass measuring cup in a pot of boiling water (or use a double boiler).
  4. Add candelilla wax to the measuring cup and melt.
  5. Once melted, pour in the jojoba oil, baking soda, and arrowroot powder.
  6. When all is liquid once again, add in shea butter and stir until just melted.
  7. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  8. Add in essential oils and stir well.
  9. Let your homemade deodorant cool until slightly thick, but still pourable.
  10. Pour into deodorant tubes (you'll need 4 for this recipe) and allow to cool completely before adding caps.

  11. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
